MILAN - Italian defender Marco Materazzi,
who scored in the 2006 World Cup final before being headbutted
by Zinedine Zidane, will not even watch this year's tournament
after deciding to go on a touring holiday around America.
The 36-year-old, who rarely features in Inter Milan's
defence, has no chance of making Marcello Lippi's squad for
South Africa and is not interested in seeing his compatriots try
to defend their title.
"I know where I'll be on June 11, the first game of the
World Cup - in my motor home travelling around America.
"I won't
watch the tournament, the timings won't work out," he told La
Repubblica newspaper on Monday.
