Speculations on what Materazzi told Zizou (leading to the infamous headbutt) can be found here and here. All of which is not quite surprising coming from a player known for his vicious fouls and bad habit of provoking players into redcarding themselves.

that's crazy--but is it really enough to warrant a head-butt? maybe with the testosterone and adrenaline of a final match?

well, Zidane had been fouled during the entire game, fouls that had not been called. his shoulder was killing him from one of those fouls (he should have been subbed at that time), his mother is in bad health. I think if someone had told me the same thing, I would have gone Eric Cantona instead of a headbutt in the chest.
