Eyes closing
Event check: FIFA WORLD CUP FINALS 2006
Time check: 2 AM
Venue check: Podium open grounds
Atmosphere check: CRAZY.
Plain, plain crazy.
I watched the World Cup finals for 2 reasons and 2 reasons only: to see Italy win and witness Zidane's last game -ever.
I've always loved soccer (here in the Philippines it's soccer, deal with it) and although I have somehow lost my passion, touch and enthusiasm for playing the sport itself, I can't deny how much I missed playing as I screamed, jumped, clapped, booed and cheered for my one and only Italia. The match this morning was everything but ordinary. No other football game had that same ecstacy from the audience, pride in the players and controversy to boot. To say that the game was amazing is an understatement.
The game was well played, strategies were genuisly crafted and the defenses were nothing short of exhilirating. It was fun seeing the best teams in the league were battling the coveted title of being the World Cup Champions. For a lot of the times, being the only Italy supporter in the bunch, I had to scream and shout if only to feed my clamoring need to see my team win. But it seemed as though France had the ball on their side and I finally felt scared. But then I thought, if France did win, it'll be the worlds' gift to him as he walks away from the league and somehow that was fine with me. Zidane has been an amazing player and I don't think anyone else can contest that fact.
Zidane is Michael Jordan's football equivalent, you'll be taken cared of by your partners. He epitomized the very sense of the home stays and his relevance to the team, aiesec, the country and himself. He is such a graceful player in the sense that you see passion oozing out of him without smothering himself or those he's with. He's a peaceful guy as we have noticed so what he did 3 minutes before the game was an ultimate shock to all of us. Well to 3 minutes (before the game) and it was tied 1-1, the amazing Zidane did the unthinkable. He head-batted Materazzi which was totally uncalled for. I don't know why or how and where but I just want to try.
to be concluded...
