HeadStong!
It's over! The world cup, my loyal friend during this lonely month of thesis writing, is over! I rooted for Argentina, and then when they got booted out, I turned to France, after Zinadine Zidane's rebirth! France, a rather not-in-form team, couldnt play during the day, but kicked ass during the evening games. Why? The stars, the oldies, cant run when its hot! Anyways, anytime France lost would be Zidane's last game. Making it to the big final, made the final, IT! 4 minutes into the game, Zidane had taken a penalty kick for a foul and France and Zidane were on their way to a dream final! Italy came back to score and the game went into overtime. Somewhere in the overtime, Zidane almost blasted a header into the goal, missing as the goalkie barely got a finger to it. Things were going peacefully into penalty-kicks and then it happened. Suddenly, the camera focussed on Zidane, and he rammed his head into Marco Materazzi's chest. The two seemed to be exchanging trash-talk for a while, and then we saw Zidane send Materazzi flying to the ground with his head. Woooh! It was awesome. I know several reasons are gonna come up in the next few days. My take is that Marco kept saying nasty things to him all game and finally said something like "You couldn't head something if your life depended on it, could you?" and Zidane showed him that he could head an entire human being an entire meter. Last game, a red, but maybe the satisfaction of a lifetime! Now everyone's gonna say Zidane lost the game for France, etc, etc. Coulda, woulda, shoulda! Zidane couldave won the game for France, but he had already smashed 2 goals in the 1998 finals where France won. So for Zidane, been there, done that! but sending a man through the air with your head. Damn! Zidane shall be remembered for something that I have never seen anyone do before! Long live the KING!
