The Pompidou museum in Paris recently unveiled a 5meter statue of Zinedine Zidane. The statue depicts the infamous moment when Zidane
headbutted Mazzeratti in the 2006 world cup final.
You know the story, 2006 world cup final, france vs italy1-1 tie. extra time Italy's marco materazzi and french living legend zinedine zidane are getting into it verbally, enventually zidane cant take it anymore and this happens. everyone's stunned. Zidane gets sent off. Italy wins. Zidane said he did it because Mazzeratti insulted his family, but the how's and why's don't mater so much as one of football's great career ended like that. its almost tragic.... so naturally there's a 16 foot tall statue commemorating the head-butt in France.
So what special moment would you like to see immortalized? I would personally go for the maradona's hand of God.
Maradona's Hand Of GOD definitely... On the funny side,.... I'd like to see Nigeria make a statue of Yakubu's miss at the 2010 world, the last group game against Greece..
ReplyDeleteZidane great player, wonderful career, but bad personality. Head but is common with zidane far back when he was in juvetus, Bt a football legend no doubt. I'd like to see a statue of our own Rashidi yekini's goal @ the world cup in 94. The first goal from the best striker nigeria had in the last 2decade. Wonderful pass from amokachi and a wonderful finish, with a superb celebration inside the net. I love dat goal. Nice post.
