98 once more
Two struggling teams during the group stage became the finalists of the World Cup Final. France and Italy, which team do you support?
In 1998, I wished Italy to win very badly. I wished Roberto Baggio have a chance to redeem his missed panalty in the final of 1994 World Cup. It didn’t happen. France became the Champion.
Today I wish France to win as a parting gift to Zinedine Zidane. This finest football player of our generation will retire after this World Cup. I wish him to retire gloriously.
Thank you Zidane, regardless of the outcome of today final.
