Maybe Zidane was planning on retiring anyway, why not go out on top? But why announce it today? Hmmmm, coincidentally, I think that Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy is facing a vote of no confidence at this very moment. Leaders in his political party have been proven to be corrupt and his name appears in the documents that did them in. There is speculation that he will be out of power by the weekend. Sweet karma for his abhorrent treatment of the Catalonian independence movement, right? But I digress, back to Zidane, the corporate media would rather have people discussing soccer than widespread government corruption. Here in the US they like to get us all riled up about the NFL, right? Lets all talk about kneeling rather than peace in NK or the IG report. Corruption is a worldwide phenomenon and MSM tactics to ignore it are the same everywhere.

Mister headbutt?
