Zidane who?

I. has often heard my rambling about one of the greatest soccer or football players that I have ever had the honor to watch. His name is Zidane and he plays for France. He's from North Africa. He has magnetic feet and a grace that is hard for a ballerina to accomplish. In short, he's magnificent. He is also, sadly, retiring from the sport. Zidane is a little bit older (34) than most on the field and has a long, brilliant run. No one can blame him for retiring now, but he will be missed by many in France and the rest of the world. If you do not know Zidane, look here and it will give you an idea of who he is and was.

* EDIT: 07/11/2006: What?? What was he thinking? His last game, the World Cup Final, and he goes and does this? Zidane gets a red card and is thrown out of the last game of his career, I don't believe it.
