2006 world cup in Germany

NACE13:
I won't forget his testimonial match in 2017, mehn, I almost cried, in fact, I cried but had to switch channels not to make it too obvious. But just 35yrs, that's quite early, take a look at Lord Zlatan still slaying @ 38.

what happened? Why did you cry?

Portugal. Third place match. 2006 world cup. Scored 2 goals actually

Bastian. One of my favorite player. Happy retirement champ!

Legend...
can't forget your "unstoppable" strikes against Portugal in the 2006 World Cup third place play-off

and if not for that third place match, Ricardo would have been the best keeper of that tournament

From a guy to a fellow guy, I won't admit I cried. I was chopping onions while watching the game. The fans/spectators kept on applauding and singing him praises while he was making a speech, they didn't even allow him speak, like if he utters a word they'll start clapping and singing him praises all over again. He himself couldn't hold back the tears, he started sobbing. He tried so hard to hold himself from bursting into tears

StrikeBack:
What of amokachi who retired at age 27

Heard he had a career-ending injury that's why. How true is that?

Danke Basti, Deutsh fubal meister!

if he had a failed career, then we have very very few players (past and present) with average football career, let alone a successful one

Yakarii:
Chelsea was destined to win UCL that year

starting from terrific comeback against Napoli
knocking out Barcelona with 10 men i mean the real Messi Iniesta xavi Barcelona and the late drogba equalizer
everything that happened in that season shows that you need a bit of luck to win UCL no be by i sabi play football sometimes

you are Goddamn right....I even composed a quote because of Chlsea's exploits that season. It goes thus:

A CHAMPION IS A PERSON OR GROUP LUCKY ENOUGH TO DISCOVER ITS TRUE POTENTIAL BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO LATE AND THEN USES THAT DISCOVERY, TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING TRULY WORTHWHILE....

...the second leg against Napoli was where Chelsea discovered themselves that season. The rest they say is history....it was truly a fairytale story.

PS: I am not a Chelsea fan, just a believer in fairytales
