THE furious mother of Zinedine Zidane last night PRAISED her son for his disgraceful World Cup headbutt on Marco Materazzi.
And Malika Zidane warned the Italian defender she wants his "b*lls chopped off for his part in Zidane's sending off.
Her outburst came after claims Materazzi branded her a "terrorist whore" in the ugly spat.
Algerian Malika, who is recovering from an illness, said Zidane, 34, was simply protecting her honour when he butted Materazzi in Sunday's final.
She told friends: "I am utterly disgusted by what I have heard. I praise my son for defending his family's honour.
"No one should be subjected to such foul insults on or off the football pitch and I don't care if it was a World Cup Final.
"I have nothing but contempt for Materazzi and, if what he said is true, then I want his balls on a platter.

Terrorist Mom's are real mean.
Does this mean ... She doesn't want to "Give Peace a Chance"? (Maybe she just doesn't like Yoko Ono)
Real classy people there.
Those soccer moms!
Some couscous and a nice yogurt sauce, would go well on that platter too.
Spoken like a true lady.
I can't beieve the spin is pro-Zidane....I'm sure he's heard worse. To do what he did, when he did, in the most important game of his career, is nothing short of bizarre.
Who but a terrorist would demand that someone be mutilated for nothing more than speaking certain words perceived to be offensive?
I don't buy the story that Materazzi called her a terrorist whore, but she has apparently decided to publicly declare that she is one.
I praise my son for defending his family's honour.

Oh, the terrorist sounds like she's got no honor and no class.
Honestly, when I first saw the title I thought this was a satire. Unbelievable!
Looks like Materazzi was right all along aboud Zidane's mamma.
Well then, clearly she is only objecting to the "whore" part. Sounds like the "terrorist" part was dead on.
Zinedine Zidane
Jeeze what a mother - GET OVER IT LADY!
Marco Materazzi
It sounds more and more like the Italian player executed a brilliant move here.
Looks like Materazzi was right all along aboud Zidane's mamma.

Didn't Materazzi deny having said that?
GET OVER IT LADY!

That is NO lady.
Apple close to the tree?
PARIS, July 10 (Reuters) - France captain Zinedine Zidane was apparently called a "dirty terrorist" by Marco Materazzi before he head-butted the Italy defender in Sunday's World Cup final, the anti-racism group SOS Racism said on Monday.
"According to several very well informed sources from the world of football, it would seem that the Italian player Marco Materazzi called Zinedine Zidane a 'dirty terrorist'," SOS Racism said in a statement.
Zidane, the son of Algerian immigrants, was shown a red card after the incident and Italy went on to win on penalties after the match was tied 1-1 following extra time.
The Paris-based group called for an inquiry and said world soccer's governing body FIFA had recently toughened sanctions against racism.
"It's for this reason that SOS Racism asks in a determined fashion for FIFA to shed light on this altercation and that sanctions laid out in the official rules be applied should this be the case," SOS Racism said.
Neither Zidane nor Materazzi have spoken in public about what had passed between them before the incident. French television reported that Zidane would talk about the incident "in the coming days".
