And everyone is still talking about Zizou's headbutt. Materazzi says the French captain, but what did he say? Does it matter?
Everyone is talking about the headbutt, even two days later. Newspapers have in an attempt to find out what Materazzi said. The incident touched off a huge debate on our one of our sister blogs, the excellent World Cup blog by Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sport.
Russia and Chechnya
And Russia's FSB security service chief, Nikolai Patrushev, announced on Monday that the most wanted Chechen rebel warlord, Shamil Basayev, has died in an explosion in the neighbouring republic of Ingushetia. It ws described as part of a 'special operation'.
Ö÷²¥´óÐã Moscow correspondent James Rodgers says:
The death of Shamil Basayev will deliver Moscow a big propaganda victory. It does not constitute a final victory over the forces who have fought the Kremlin's rule for more than 10 years.
