By now, we’ve all accepted the fact that Zizou will never be satisfied solely with pain au chocolat from Didier Deschamps’ wife. After winning almost all there is to win in world futbol, he wants more out of life! What a charming go getter.. nous sommes ravis!
You see, Zizou has gone ahead to produce and participate in a TV show called “Football Cracks” with his idol, former Uruguayan player Enzo Francescoli (whom he named his own son after... quelle belle!) The program is open to “all children who want to try out” and the prize is to be a part of pre-season training with a Spanish team. Casting will be done outside of Spain too…. so if you know anyone between 16 and 18, keep them in mind and round those niños up, aussitôt!
“Football Cracks is an academy that consists of two things: discovering new talents and teaching values. Enzo and I are the godparents of the academy. We will not train, but to be there, close to the players, to try to give advice and value for all… The camaraderie, teamwork and effort,” said Zizou.
As always, you know how much you love blasts from the past. So meet Zizirella, the Blushing Bride!

Thanks Alexia for the photo!So he’s not exactly the world’s favourite man right now, but Titipo Henry has officially joined The Dona’s recreational volleyball club after his handball against Ireland. Ok, instead of calling him a hypocrite like everyone, let’s sit down and have a drink. Yes… Détendez-vous, nos chers amis!
Tony Cascarino, a former striker whose national career with Ireland spanned fourteen years (dating from 1985) was one of the first to declare that the Frenchman’s act has singlehandedly tarnished his reputation.
“I am not an angel, but I would never have done what he did. Henry can say what he wants, but for me it was a well calculated deception. He put his hand (there) so as to not to lose control of the ball and then the ball landed on his right foot,” said Cascarino.
Time to go old school, futbolitas!
Via Alejandro Gonzalez for Real Madrid
We have no words for this epic pose, unfortunately. Part time childrens’ party entertainer Karim Benzzzzema is the next in line to join the Let’s Hit The NightClub y Douche gang owned by Sergio Ramos. That pose just earned him brownie points and they will now welcome him to Madrid and Greaseano’s tanning salon with open arms.
Anyway, he claims that he turned down United and Barca for Madrid. “Real Madrid are an excellent club. I’ve dreamt about playing here since I was 15 years old,” he said.
Yeah, Benzema has every reason to turn up at Potter Perez’s garden parties for his grandchildren’s birthdays now (“Abuelo, the clown is here.”)
No, you’re not looking at a pouting fish. It’s David Trezeguet! Word is he’s unhappy at Juventus and wants out! He’s not getting along with Raneiri aka Mrs Doubtfire and his agent has warned that he will be glad to move to another side.
“We are not talking about a 38-year-old at the end of his career. His 161 goals for Juve speak volumes,” said his agent. “I was sitting in the stands and I saw him on the bench and my heart was crying.”
The striker who looks like David Blaine and Craig David rolled into one, has a contract with Juventus until 2011. But with the way things are going, he’ll probably need to find a career in tango or magic. What do you think?
Ederson is quickly learning from Pato eh? They probably had a phone convo the previous night about the heart celebration (“Make sure your thumbs are adjacent to one another, pal” Pato warned, seriously)
Well, the celebratory gesture was actually directed at Ederson’s wife who was watching the game in the stands on Valentine’s Day. Sweet!
Anyway, the striker who scored three goals in his last four games for Lyon has said that teammate Farmer Fred’s possible departure to Fluminense may hurt the team.
“He’s a great player and has great presence in the team. He is always in (good) shape and makes a difference. He brings joy to us. I do not know how far the negotiations (with Fluminense) are going but in recent months, it hurts a little (to know that they are taking place.”
The Argentineans defeated France in Marseille yesterday and it was Maradona’s 100th day on the job as the team’s coach.
Goals from Jonas Gutiérrez (courtesy of a sleek Aguero cross) and Messi (of course he had to score!) ensured a 2-0 victory in front of the packed stadium yesterday.
“My guys played well,” Maradona told TF1 in an interview at the end of the game. “I am very glad. I am happy with their performance.”
Why is Kun walking away from Maradona in the second photo below? Listen to dad!
We know Karim Benzema is good, etc, but there’s something about him that reminds us of a children’s party mascot.
Anyway, the French striker has come out to say that he wants to play for Real Madrid. He told “Le Buteur” magazine that it is his dream to play for Juande Ramos’ team. Come on! I’m sure he didn’t say “I would like to play for Juande Ramos one day.” Anyone who says that needs to stand by the window immediately.
“It’s my secret dream and I believe that I am close to achieving that dream. I like the white shirt and the environment of the Santiago Bernabéu. I promised my mother that one day, I would play for Real,” Benzema said.
Do you hear papers shuffling furiously? That’s president Calderon throwing his 104th file at Pedja Mijatovic screaming, “GET HIM NOW!”
