Happy Birthday!!!




Zinedine Yazid Zidane was born on this day in 1972, at Marseille, France. He is regarded as one of the best footballers of France and the world. He helped France win the World Cup in 1998 and the Euro 2000. He retired from professional football after the 2006 World Cup. He is associated with the Real Madrid football club. He is one of my favourites.

Also born on this day in 1976, Patrick Vieira is another famous French footballer and former captain of the team. Born in Dakar, he is a Senegalese-born Frenchman of Cape Verdean ancestry. He was a part of the World Cup and Euro Cup winning French football team. I really miss his game in this year’s World Cup. It is a sad story that the French have to relinquish their World Cup journey this year due to the failure to win a single game. Hope they can come back with a bang. Viva La France!
