Futebol

Ooh Portugal is SO interesting! I thought it would be as boring as Mourinho's football and Cronaldo fanboys. But no! This is fun!
And new. In the way that Voetbal and Calcio and Foot are not... because a keen follower knows.
Futebol, is new. And fun.

Changing of the guard. '98 France - very Italian team! That defence! Thuram, Desailly, Blanc, Lizarazu. Deschamps Petit. Zidane, saw almost the entire WC from the bench, but for the final.
2000 France was different. Zidane's team now. Lemerre. Vieira, Trezeguet, Henry. Final was billed as good (France, attacking football) vs evil (Italian catenaccio)
Never. Calcio is so tactical, much fun. So was France. Love it!

So I haven't read a sports book for more than a year, it seems.

If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath I answered it.
