A case of buyers' remorse, I think. I'm sure any great/good player, when he retires, always casts his eyes longingly at his successors, figuring he could do better or at least as well. Mind you, France are so crap now, I think Platini would be a good addition. Zidane would definitely add a bite to the French attack, but my guess is that when France roll out in Lansdowne Road next autumn, he'll be in the stands. I'd prefer it that way, but having said that, a win over France with Zidane is more emphatic than a win without. Mind you, the way things are going in this group maybe that should read a draw with France with Zidane is more emphatic than a draw without.
France would be top of our group by a big margin if Zidane was playing for them. Domemech: "I would welcome him and I would select him with great happiness. I would just like to know that this is a reality." "The door is wide open," "Zizou is still one of the best players in the world and if he says he is eligible, I will call him with great joy."
No Father Ted.......What's funny is that your odds on becoming the next Pope have been slashed from 200-1 to 250-1 at Paddy Powers...........Is that white smoke I see coming out of your ears ?
