Zidane announces retirement

Zidane, 34 years old, one of the best players of the last decade as announced that will left professional soccer after the World Cup Germany 2006, he says that the reason is that his body doesn't have the best performance anymore.


Zidane had a brilliant career, recently in the year of 2004 was considered as the world best player of the last 50 years.




Final with a golden ball

Every single game will have a unique ball with the names of the teams written, but this World Cup as a new thing, a final ball, a unique golden ball that only 22 lucky man in the world will have the privilege to play.





World Cup voodoo dolls

One thing we know for sure, there is no limits for imagination at marketing industry, a Germany company as launched the WorldCup voodoo dolls!!

So what a hell this means ?

The theory is, when a soccer player of your "enemy" team is almost scoring a goal, don't worry, just grab the needle and stick it on the voodoo doll and that player will suffer something and will not have any chance to score !!
