<p>I knew I liked you dstark! :wink: Any fan of Michigan and Nole is good in my book. If you tell me that you support Les Bleus in soccer, you could well be my favourite person on CC! </p>

842

<p>I support Les Bleus… but in Rugby. :wink: </p>

843

<p>Alexandre, I love soccer but I dont know Les Bleus. If I run across Les Bleus, I promise to support them. :)</p>

<p>I loved the way Zidane played if that helps. :)</p>

844

<p>Well, this men’s final has been pretty boring so far.</p>

845

<p>“I love soccer but I dont know Les Bleus”</p>

<p>French national teams are always referred to as Les Bleus. </p>

<p>Their rugby team, aka Stade Francais publishes calender every year of the players nekkid - which is why I fancy them. :smiley: </p>

<p>I’m pulling for Marin but would love to see Kei pick it up and go at least 4 sets. </p>

846

<p>Nekkid calendars. Lol!</p>

<p>I will have to tell my wife. </p>

<p>I did say I like Zidane. :)</p>

847

<p>^ Why tell her when you can show her!</p>

<p>Just google Stade Francais calendar. </p>

848

<p>Oops is it rugby players…</p>

<p>I think she prefers soccer player body types. </p>

<p>She is on vacation with a few older female soccer players. A calender of the french soccer players would be a big hit.</p>

849

<p>I’m sure if she saw them she would change her mind! They even put out a “making of the calendar video” every year. :slight_smile: </p>

850

<p>Lol!</p>

<p>If she likes the rugby type, I have disappointed her for over 30 years. :)</p>

851

<p>^ If we waited around to marry a guy of our preferred athletic body type, a lot of us would still be waiting. :wink: </p>

<p>Anyhoo - congrats to Marin on becoming a GSC! Clinic. </p>

852

<p>Done and dusted! Goran is still gorgeous, by the way :).</p>

853

<p>Tired, if you like Goran here is a great video of him and several other lovely tennis boys (Pat, Flip, Sergie - minus Fabrice) singing Satisfaction at a players party. McEnroe is on guitar. They should, however, all keep their day jobs. </p>

<p>Lol!</p>

<p>I was very close to my wife’s body type when we married and now, I am close enough…Especially considering my age.</p>

<p>In between those years, not so much! :)</p>

<p>Marin played great.</p>

855

<p>emily, I am a fan of French rugby. They are so unpredictable. They have never won the World Cup, but they made it to virtually every single WC semi final. You can always count on a crazy finish with those guys.</p>

<p>dstark, I love Zidane. His play making ability and ball handling skills were majestic. </p>

856

<p>Alexandre, I know you love Zidane. One of the best players ever…</p>

857

<p>emilybee, that was fun, thanks… I saw Goran in Dubai - and those were the days of Thomas Muster and Petr Korda so he was well appreciated :).</p>

858

<p>dstark, enjoy this link. The goal that Zidane scores at 4:18-4:25 (they show it from several angles) is one of the best I have ever seen. </p>

<p>Who is two footed like Zidane these days?</p>

<p>I think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a pretty accomplished two-footed player. Franck Ribery and Eden Hazard (is this a cool name or what?!) are also two footed. Of course, CR is probably the most famous two-footed star today.</p>
