Disembodied Voices Are The New Astrologers
Recently I was watching Fox Soccer Channel as I'm known to (too) often do when there wasn't a match on and I came across an old episode of World Soccer. On it was a story about the Brazilian MNT using a psychic to help them win the World Cup in 2002 (which may or may not have been publicized at the time, I forget).
Well, even if it was a bunch of hooey, which it might or might not be (and since this isn't that kind of blog, I'm not going to get into my personal feelings on it), Brazil did win.
So perhaps other teams are following their lead. Not using a psychic and hiding the fact but using whatever supernatural means possible to get the results they need.
If Brazil in 2002 is any indication, maybe people shouldn't write off France in their 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign, because apparently there's some sort of mumbo jumbo going on.
Today Zinedine Zidane revealed to the world that he was drawn out of international retirement to play for the French MNT by a voice. And it wasn't a manager or another player's voice but a mysterious disembodied voice.
Now Zidane is getting up there in years, but he's far from senile and I don't think he's taken too many headers so perhaps he's telling the truth when he states:
Who knows though. Maybe he just got a late night phone call from Tony Parker and something's lost in the translation.
Fact or fiction? The world may never know.
*cue eerie music*

This next link isn't funny but it is really interesting so I thought I'd share. This year marks the first time since reunification that there is not a single team from the former East Germany in the Bundesliga.
Maybe they all the former East German teams just disappeared to consult with Zidane's friend the voice and will come back stronger than ever in a resurgance.
Fact or fiction? The world may never know.

There was one other voice obviously talking to someone and giving them bad ideas because Steve Sampson was chosen to coach the MLS All-Stars during their upcoming friendly.
That voice was obviously on drugs and has nothing to do with either of the two stories. Perhaps it was just Sigi Schmid making trouble.

"One night, at three in the morning, I woke up suddenly and then, I talked to someone. That person really exists but it all comes from very far."
Who knows though. Maybe he just got a late night phone call from Tony Parker and something's lost in the translation.
