Friday with Coach Lippi
“Zidane is probably the best player there has been in the past 20 years.” - Italy coach Marcello Lippi
This is the man responsible for whether or not we Torontonians have hours of seemingly endless honking on Sunday evening. That’s a lot of pressure for one man to bear. All those who value serenity are pulling for Zizou.
Whoever put these things together has some weird musical tastes. Watching the clips I heard crooning from Bryan Adams and Cyndi Lauper. (Cyndi Lauper? What are these Europeans thinking? )
Very unfair to laugh now at the bit about Zizou and serenity. Great drama at the World Cup. For my money France was the better side in Sunday’s game, with a nice balance of defense and attack - esp in the second half and extra time. Italy were lively in the early stages but seemed to run out of steam.
I’m out like Spain in the round of 16.
