  2. Wow, this is an interesting topic. I used to be a huge football/soccer fan before I fell in love with basketball. I actually had no idea Zidane played for Real Madrid! I remember him playing for the French national team so I assumed he only played in French leagues. I look forward to reading more about your blog.

    1. Zidane is a legend of Real Madrid, He scored a volley in the final of the Champions league and is also Real Madrids former sporting agent and now Real Madrid current assistant manager, he has a bond with Real Madrid and just can't stay away from the superstar club

  3. I love soccer but I tend to only follow it during the World Cup. It'll be interesting to get a new perspective.
