Hugo Lloris

There is a 75% chance that the world cup winning captain will be a Spurs player.

How does that work? At the moment there are three captains left, two of whom are Spurs players. So that's 66%. Oooh, spooky ;-)

You could introduce the odds, from bookies or whatever, but that's an unnecessary complication. This time tomorrow, it'll be either 50% or 100%. Hopefully the latter.
 
A young budding tennis star.

There is a part of Hugo Lloris that would have liked to stay up late, gripped, long into the night on Friday, two days before his first World Cup final. Lloris enjoys his tennis, you see, and his expert eye would have appreciated the suspense and athleticism that turned the Wimbledon men’s semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal into an overnight saga.

Lloris once aspired to be there, commanding tramlines rather than goal-lines and using his broad reach and quick footwork to become the next Pete Sampras. He was a talented junior tennis player, thought to have genuine prospects of a professional career with a racket until well into his teens. He had access to the best facilities, too. As a kid growing up on the Cote D’Azur, not far from Monte Carlo, the son of a banker and a corporate lawyer, Lloris knew many privileges that most of his France teammates did not.

'O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring.'
 
'O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning.'
