Today i started thinking, wow, we are coming to the end of the season. this means if Zidane calls it quits after the summer we wil have very few opportunities to see the great man play.
so i worked out we have a maximum of 16 games in which he could feature if he does retire this summer:

1 v Getafe (16/04/06)
2 v Málaga (23/04/06)
3 v Osasuna (30/04/06)
4 v Racing (03/05/06)
5 v Villarreal (07/05/06)
6 v Sevilla (14/05/06)
7 v MEXIQUE (27 mai 2006)
8 v DANEMARK (31 mai 2006)
9 v CHINE (07 juin 2006)
10 v SUISSE (13 juin 2006)
11 v COREE DU SUD (18 juin 2006)
12 v TOGO (23 juin 2006)
13 World Cup 2nd Round (24-27 June)
14 World Cup Quarter Finals (30 June-1st July)
15 World Cup Semi Finals (4-5 July)
16 World Cup Final (9 July)

There we have it. if he is to retire this summer these are the games in which he could feature. personally i think out of these he will play about 10.

all this could be irrelevant if he honours his contract until the summer of 2007

and here is the great man in action : http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...zidane&pl=true (probably the best compilation ive seen)

I'll bet you any money he finishes his career in France with Marseille.

ANY money. You just know it'll happen.

That's what happens when a Corsican tries to play soccer.

if anybody is interest. news around Real is that he has called a press-conference for 26/4. apparantly he is expected to announce his retirement after the WC.
i was alerted to this news int he real madrid forum, where there is a thread on it

its a pity that he's going to be retiring.

u see a lot of great players continue into their late 30's

i reckon his move to real madrid ruined his career

he shouldve stayed @ juventus.

Highly agreed, I think he would've been better off staying at Juve.
