Still trying to make sense of what went on during the world cup - I mean all my predictions were way off target!
Anyway top news is still Zidane's antics and the press here as usual are trying to explain. Infact sports news today was all about analyzing the impact - heeehe - some even had lip reading expects to try and figure out what was actually said!
Here are some of the press cuttings:
'If we make gods of men, we should not be surprised when they fall to the earth... no footballer has received greater praise than ZZ. He has enriched our lives - So why could he not leave us in a way that is fitting?' wondered Simon Barnes, Chief Sports Writer of the Times.
Of course we forget he was human - and once in a while we lose our cool. It wasn't I wise move but I understand.
He continues 'The tension between being a real person who does things such as fail and defecate, and being a person who is seen as a god, is almost impossible to deal with.'
What do you think?
The most interesting coverage I came across was in The Independent newspaper.
1st there is the condemnation of the incident as Zidane's fall and act of betrayal. I was betrayed too - I still think weak teams advanced to the finals (I know I'm a sore loser!)
Look at the diving incidents - it used to be an outrage; thanks to this world cup it is an intrinsic part of the game.
well still reading the Independent and it is interesting - will publish some of the articles here.
