What drama will unfold June 6, with Barcelona, clicking on all cylinders with a top three forward line of Messi, Neymar and Suarez? Not to mention the elusively talented Juventus side, guided by Pirlo and veteran goalie, with some new comers and the guy that was "Messi" before the actual Messi came about, the illustrious Tevez.
It's finally here: Buffon's last run, Pirlo's last run, in the very stadium they won the 2006 World Cup in. What a beautiful time that was. Rome was set alight, as the Italians rode down the streets in cars before the throngs of Italian supporters, standing under the night sky, embracing their first World Cup title since 1982 with Gentile, Rossi, Cabrini, the number four. Almost ten years ago, nine to be exact, that Pirlo and Buffon led that team, beating an extremely talented France, led by an athletic, tenacious defense and Zidaine's last triumph, wearing all white, with golden Adidas shoes, head-butting his opponent in the best way he knew fit. Much of the world embraced Zidaine even more, for illustrating what great drama he still had left. At that stage, at that moment, to head butt someone? Thanks Zidaine, for completing one of the weirdest acts we could have ever imagined going down in a World Cup final.
