        Here's a piece of news that won't change much about the Welt Kup: Zidane declared this evening that he would "definitively stop [his] career after the World Cup in Germany".
        Well... unless he starts hearing voices again.
        I've never liked that dude much, in fact. That monk head, you know, and his being some kind of a dumb ass "on the edges" during interviews...
        At least Platini or Cantona could speak, and say accurate things when they were asked... well, maybe not that much in English!

          One month to go for the Frogs... France vs Switzerland, June 13th. The French team composition has just been revealed: they chose Barthez as the goal-keeper!

          Hey, DLN, Jero, are your national teams known now?

                I would initially have asked you about the Scottish team too, but I remembered they'd been eliminated.
                What a score! Bulgaria eliminated France from the World Cup in 94, BTW... 2:1 in Paris, last match, a second goal in the last 3 seconds...

                  Ha! Ha! "Cocu" means "deceived husband" in French...

                  There's another (Brasilian, I think) player whose name is Kaka, which means "poo(p)" ("caca").

                  There's a French player whose name is Sagnol, which sounds like "his hooch". Besides, I'm sure there will be other funny names in June, in any language.

                  I'll look for the French team and post its composition asap.

                    Yeah man, I know. When Holland played in France for the Worldcup, everytime Cocu was at the ball, you could hear the French repoter fighting to hold his laughs! That was very funny and was played over a million times at Dutch radio!

                          This time I'd find it fair if the Orange won the Cup, really. It's their turn. That would be most fair a thing to happen, if you look back. I already thought so in 1998 and during the 1986 Euro.
                          You know, I'm no chauvinist, I just like it when the best win, but it doesn't so often happen that way in football...

                                Yeah, they were pretty unlucky to lose on penalties to Brazil.
