France no chance? Food for thought.
Zidane retired from the national team. No WC for him. He was done. And so was France. The glory days were over. They had been good, but everything must end. Nothing worse than a legendary player who doesn't know when to stop.
Then Zidane had a powerful dream in which someone told him to play for France at the World Cup. He didn't want to say who, but the dream was convincing enough for him to change his mind. I remember reading about this at the time, and sort of half hoping that it wasn't JC. It wasn't. Zidane later revealed it was his brother who had come to him in the dream. His
dead brother...
Strong 'medicine' or not, the fact remains that nobody considered France to be among the favorites, let alone beat Brazil with Zidane at the controls as in his best days. I have no idea what the extent of the dream was, but I do know that, sometimes, dreams do come true.
