This blog was created to fulfill a requirement for my Writing for New Media class. It's main focus is to explore Italian current events and it will probably feature Italian wine as much as possible. Spero che te piace (I hope that you like it)

(Day one re-do) Sister Causes Soccer Brawl

Anyone who watched the Italy v France World Cup final knows there were obviously some choice words exchanged between Italian player, Marco Materazzi and French opponent Zinedine Zidane which lead a massive head-butt by Zidane that got him kicked out of the game.


Until now, those words were a mystery however Materazzi opted to tell all at an interview with the Gazzetta dello Sport.


Apparently when Zidane opted to give Materazzi his shirt (hypothetically after France won) Materazzi responded with, "I'd prefer your sister."


Materazzi said he knows it was not a "particularly nice thing to say," however he noted that many players say worse things. He claims he did not know that Zidane even had a sister.


Who would have thought Zidane's sister would be the fall of his career?

(I still can't figure out if I am ecstatic about this class or stressed...I'm thinking more ecstatic though...I wish all my upper level MCOM classes seemed as "fun" as this one. Today was literally crazy. First, I woke up (on purpose) at 7:30 and drove to campus in order to buy books before class. I got my books, no problem...but when I reached for my class schedule, which had EVERY important class detail written down on it, it was missing. I made a frantic dash back to the University Store where I luckily was able to recover my precious schedule. Off to my class...Art 100 (obviously a Gen-Ed). Honestly, I had never had classes in the Center of the Arts building before and today I was "privileged" to have a tour of the ENTIRE building. No, NOT from my Professor, a staff personnel or even another student. Since the sign for my class number was pointing in the wrong direction, I along with 30 other students in the class, wandered around the ENTIRE building until we all finally stumbled upon the class. All during class the only thing I could focus on was the fact that I had to add one more class in order to graduate on time. Long story short, the BIO (Gen-Ed) class that I was told I could take in order to fulfill the requirement turns out that I could NOT after I was already registered. SO, of course MCOM classes are ALWAYS filled up as soon as the classes are opened and I was stressing out about that and the fact that the ONE other Gen-Ed category was seriously "cutting it close" to fit into my schedule. I emailed about 3 teachers telling them I wanted to be in the class and I was waiting for replies. I guess it was my "lucky day" when the only class I really wanted...Writing for New Media, was made available to me when 2 people did not show up. SO here I am. Enjoy my blog! VIVA ITALIA!)
