Grey Nomads
Yesterday was a day of some surprising announcements.
Some that were happy, some that were sad.
——————–
1.Anika Sorenstam Retires. (Don’t like golf, not a feminist, so don’t care much)
2.Henin announces her retirement with immediate effect.
WHY?? I loved Henin. Never seen a player who was mentally stronger. The female Federer for me. She could have dominated the WTA circuit for at least 2 more years.
On a happier note—
Henrik Larsson named in the Swedish Euro 2008 squad.
For some reason I am a sucker for those romantic come back stories.
After all, who can forget Zidane in world cup 2006, almost the perfect swansong.
And anyone who saw Larsson playing in the last Euro would agree with me. With everyone speculating whether he was fit enough or not, we saw Larsson scoring a brace against Bulgaria in a 5-1 mauling and it included that astonishing flying headed goal .
I am sure he will give a good performance this time around too.
How I wish Pavel Nedved had decided to do the same for the Czech’s , the dark horses (for me , they would have been contenders if Nedved was there.)
Still, I am happy enough with Larsson’s return .
