Zidane and Materazzi to meet on convict island
File this under the extremely bizarre department...
FIFA President Sepp Blatter is attempting to resolve the whole World Cup head-butting incident involving Zinedine Zidane and Marco Materazzi by bringing the two world-famous soccer players together on Robben Island in South Africa.
For those not intimately acquainted with Robben Island it has been a penal colony for political prisoners and social outcasts for the past 400 years--and housed Nelson Mandela for many years.
No word on what kind of protective headgear Materazzi will be wearing.
What? Has this meeting ever been comfirmed? I mean I understand that he wants to get those two together but why on Robben Island?
