The main theme of this WC has been 'say no to rascism', but European football has been plagued by rascism for a long time. In some club matches, there were even some Spanish fans with nazi signs on their arms. In Germany, they have banned all things pertaining to nazicism, you cannot even say 'holocaust was fake' there. But, I am not sure if fascism has been banned or completely wiped out in Italy. I had heard that there is a Fascist party in Italy. So, Materazzi saying out rascist and fascist remarks cannot be completely denied until the verbatim remarks are unveiled.
