Zidane and Materazzi punished

France playmaker Zinedine Zidane has been handed a three-match ban and a fine for his World Cup final head-butt on Italy defender Marco Materazzi who himself has been suspended for two games and fined for provoking the incident.

With Zidane having quit football after the World Cup final the ban is academic but the 34-year-old will instead spend three days working with world governing body FIFA.
