By Editor | July 12, 2006 |

Marco Materazzi acknowledged he insulted Zinedine Zidane before the French captain head-butted him in the World Cup final, but repeated his denial that he called Zidane a ?terrorist.?

?I did insult him, it?s true,? Materazzi said in Tuesday?s Gazzetta dello Sport. ?But I categorically did not call him a terrorist. I?m not cultured and I don?t even know what an Islamic terrorist is.?
