Let's compare. Daniele De Rossi gets a 5 match ban for elbowing Brian McBride. De Rossi was a first time offender, and because it was the elbow on nose, he bled.

Materazzi gets headbutted in the chest after 115min of play. Soccer players have randomly died on the pitch after having their heart stop. Hitting Materazzi in the chest with that force could have potentially made his heart stop. Not to mention Zidane has been involved in foul play numerous times.

The ruling is ridiculous, but whatever.

Materazzi has the cup, Zidane has a tarnished career.

Materazzi has done a hell of a lot worse, the guy is a scumbag.
