Sorry that I've been MIA for a while now. No excuse really. Just laziness. Basically nothing exciting going on except...France! After playing an abismal first round they have exploded into full stride and are looking fabulous. The great thing about this is that we're all getting a chance to remember why we fell in love with this man in the first place:




Even before this World Cup Zinedine Zidane's name would've inevitably come up in a conversation about the greatest soccer players of all time. He is past his prime though, way past it. He was at the top of his game over 6 years ago. He'd hardly hung up his bootstraps, but he was no longer playing the brilliant game of his youth. Or so we thought. Zizou is back in full force, and pretty much everyone I know is ecstatic about it. We're falling in love (or lust for some) with him all over again. His vision and ballhandling schooled even the boys from Brazil, and now he's on a roll and we're eating every bit of it up. Even if France doesn't win in the Final on Sunday one thing is for certain. In this World Cup Zizou changed this phrase, "Zinedine Zidane was one of the greatest soccer players in history." to "Zinedine Zidane was one of the greatest soccer players in history!" He's put an exclamation point at the end of his brilliant career, and that's something that won't soon be forgotten. Allez Zizou! Viva la France!
