EURO 2008 Football Fever Sticker Book

Yesterday night I indulged into the extravagance of declared wakefulness (otherwise I pretend I'm sleeping, until I actually do). So I turned on the TV, and found nothing else, but the world cup finale.

After hearing for long "J'Aime Francais", tales of "Zidane", I had to!!

The closing ceremony was grand and it started on a very dancy note with Shakira performing 'Hips Don't Lie', I like that song a lot!! Then anthems of the teams and among the faces, I was looking for the cuter ones that would help me survive a game where all men run after a ball.

The trophy was a beautiful maid, that all wanted to get hold of, and surprisingly, the ball, that was the object of affection of both the teams was quite a beautiful one herself!

To be noted: Italy's goal keeper's very sexy and player numbered 9 (I guess) too!!

The game started with two fabulous goals, I liked both of them!

There's a fire in Zidane's eyes, that look of aggression, that passion, and in the end, that all made him fancy the red card, and in a way, be the major factor for France's loss but I can't say for sure, for it was the first ever football match I've seen!!

Zidane, fathered almost all the players on the field, with his body language, and awesome attitude. The other team feared him, and his team trusted him like hell, I mean until first half of the game, it was purely a one-man show!!!!

Zidane (first goal scorer) and Materazzi (the second goal scorer) entered in a tiff that led to Zidane leaving the WC finale!!

Some tactics, I was trying to absorb throughout, some missed, some baffled moments.There's one good thing that's not there in cricket but was found in that field of Berlin, players, even on the field, are ready to smile to each other, and also lend a hand when one falls. This was grand for me, and I liked it for this is the true "sportsman's spirit". Other grandness was sure to be there as it was the world cup finale, best ground, best referees, (supposedly) best teams, best football court (or whatever its called).

The penalty kicks, the referee running with the players in the field, players hitting each other, handsome goalkeeper, were some things I had seen for the first time, rather known for the first time!

And France, just lost by an inch!!

That fateful kick, maybe it was never meant to be!

"The Jinx hit the French!"

And Italians led the golden lady away to glory, holding her, fancying her!!
