L'Effet Zidane

4 Hours:50 Minutes:33 Seconds - Time left for the singing of the national anthem
7 Hours:50 Minutes:33 Seconds - Time left for Zizou to hold the Gold Cup. Time left for him to claim the Golden Ball. Time left for Paris to rejoice like never before.

Though I had anticipated an Argentina vs France clash, its not too bad. That clash would have really tested my choice for the favored team. But now that we have France, it has to be the Zidane effect to take them through. The present generation is damn lucky to see him because I am sure his name will be echoed with the likes of Pele and Maradona. I am just hoping that he delivers that killer goal. No matter what the result says tonight, I wish that the Italians, the stadium, the media and the French of course give Zizou the farewell he deserves.

Enjoy the visual spectacle offered tonight along with a billion other humans - from Siberia in Russia across to Tierra del Fuego in South America.

Damn. Isn't it boring that we all have to sleep early, Monday night onwards?
