Football Jinx - Farewell Germany..Hello S.Africa




Jinx!!! Purely jinx..both team that I routed for lost. First it was England then Les Blues. What a dissapointment. Nevertheless, to reach the finals after hearing many predictions that it would be Argentina or Brazil or Germany...was triumphant enough for me. Me, an average football fan can now understand the passion some people have on great football moments i.e cheering for favourite team, donning the fav team jersey, body or face coloring etc..

Why Zidane has to end his career in such way? No offence to Algerian, but I'm pretty sure that Materazzi had said something that provoked him so much that he's willing to jeorpardize his final cap. Dignity and pride has no price tag.... Apparently Materazzi had said something about him being an old african monkey..how far true?? I dunno..but whatever it is...he's still a legend. Even the red card can't deny him the Best Player award.

So farewell Germany...See you peeps in South Africa 2010. I hope by then I would already have another half whom I can savour the moment with...or better yet..be there at S.Africa itself. Now that would be a good deal.

Addendum - Tuesday 11/7/06

Heard on the radio this morning - Persaraan Zinadine Zidane berakhir dengan kad merah (Zinadine's retirement ended with a red card). Then the DJ actually "melayukan" Zinadine's name.

Zinadine Zidane - Zainuddin Zaidan

Don't sound so hensem at all.. I wonder how he would translate Ribery??

i wonder if zizou would still win the golden ball award if they had counted the ballot after the game rather than at halftime

i think he would have still got it. despite the head bud, from a layman view, i think he deserve it. out of curiosity, from yur point of view, saper sepatutnyer dapat golden ball award tu..

It's a pity that Zidane has to leave the world stage like that. And it's only fair fo FIFA to investigate the provocative words from the italian defender that blew zidane's head off.

One of my ex-colleague, nama dia Zainuddin, orang panggil Zack. After the 1998 punya World Cup, terus tukar nama glamer jadik Zizou. Mulanya I tak paham. Pastu my husband (then boyfren) explained that Zinadine tu french spelling for Zainuddin. Sama macam orang Arab eja Eusoff for our Usop lah... or orang Turki eja Erdogan for our Irduan.
