And the 100th post…

I wrote three posts after my last one, two of which I decided not to post and the third which I deleted. I wanted my 100th post to be about something special and reviews of Superman Returns did not qualify. I knew clearly what I would write about though I might have written this post differently had not an overgrown orangutan by the name Materazzi replaced Nesta in the Italian team.

Sunday’s match was supposed to be a glittering end to a glittering career, regardless of who lifted the trophy later on.

Zinedine Zidane didn’t do that for no reason, any sane person would realise that.

Zidane is the greatest footballer of this age, one incident will take none of his accomplishments or his greatness away from him.

This post was going to be a tribute to Zidane and thats what it will be.

We love you Zizou

There… and back again !

All that is gold does not glitter…

Not all who wander are lost…

The old that is strong does not wither…

Deep roots are not touched by frost

Its France ’98 all over again !

It seems ridiculous that two weeks ago there were people who thought France wouldn’t qualify to the round of 16.

Form is temporary but then, class is permanent !

What the heck…..

Argentina just got eliminated, by a penalty shootout. Crespo and Riquelme were taken out ten minutes too early. Klinsmann is an absolute jerk, I just hate him. Argentina deserved to win, the Ayala goal should have been enough. Some one should cut off Klose’s head. Germany didnt look all that invincible, they could hardly maintain possession for a minute before giving it away. There should be no penalty shoot outs, we should have just kept on playing till Ballack dropped dead and then declare Argentina as winners. I hope they get slaughtered by Italy (dont think Ukraine have much of a chance, will find out in two hours though)

There is still France though, but they have a very tough match against Brazil. But cometh kaka or kuruvi, I am always behind you Zizou.

Viva les Bleus
