LONDON, July 14 - Marco Materazzi faced FIFA's
disciplinary committee on Friday over the incident that saw
Frech captain Zinedine Zidane sent off for a head butt on the
Italy defender in the World Cup final last weekend. The hearing was hastily convened so Materazzi, who helped
Italy win Sunday's final in Berlin on penalties, did not have
to interrupt a holiday next week when FIFA had originally
summoned the Italian and Zidane. FIFA spokesman Andreas Herren confirmed that the meeting
was underway at the world football body's Zurich headquarters. "They are talking, finding out what happened," Herren said. He did not comment on what punishment, if any, Materazzi
might face or when a decision would be announced.
