Welcome back. You were missed!

With respect you have obviously never played competitive sport.

Who in their right mind believes that ZZ offered his shirt to the Matrix…(in the heat of battle, after Buffon saved his great header)…….other than with disdain. Those offers are made prior to matches or after matches and Matrix response to him was tasteful compared to some of the things ZZ has said and done during his years with Juve and Real.

For the sake of argument let’s say you have it right, no one in their right mind would say the response was just. Would they?

Also please note when compiling a list of great players, as you did in your post the order goes Pele, Maradonna, Eusebio Roberto “the divine ponytail” Baggio….(according to Fifa as voted on by players and NT coaches and agreed upon by the majority of football papers, magazines and me) then the other players on the list are debatable.

Trusting now I can count on your support.

Regards

I was thinking about the situation. Who in their right mind, when somebody like Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff or Zidane tells them they can have their jersey at the end of the game (the last game of their glorious career), would answer anything else than:
“Oh gee Sir, thank you so very much Sir! What an honor Sir!”

As most of you know Zidane has yet to apologize to the matrix for his assault on him. Please write the FFF requesting that he do so in order for some form of honor be restored to his badly tarnished reputation. (CC the FIGC as well)

Thanks for your help.

Kyle, have a great time in Lyon! have some of that lovely sausage for me (saucisson chaud), and I hope you have time to spend time in the Alps. I’m not mentioning the wine of course.
