What a terrible way to end a glorious career. I'm sad that France lost, but that is completely overshadowed by my shock and disappointment in Zidane.
What possessed him ? It doesn't matter how he was provoked - if indeed he was - but there is simply no excuse for such behavior.
Zizou has always been a fair player and a gentleman. Why, why, why tonight, during the last match of his career, did he lose his cool and act like a common thug ?
You know I am just as stunned as you are. I sat there staring at the screen as if someone had pulled out my voicebox, and without it sounded completely OTT, my heart. It was unreal, unbelievable. He is usually so cool-headed, almost distant from everyone, and then this. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds in the days to come. I cried for their loss, and for the sheer madness of it all.
ReplyDeleteVery interested, if you have time, to hear more about the reaction from the street.
