If the Italian Players awaits having their clubs degraded one or two leages to series c or worse i guess they need as much exposure as possible in order to be sold to clubs outside Italy. The French have not impressed me before their game against Brazil - or perhaps Brazil just disapointed me - But Zidane, Henry, Vierra and most of the rest of the French team seemed to be nice persons and not - like a lot of other players at this world cup - ready to put up some of the worse acting i have seen - just to get a penalty. I would not have considdered this before the start of the games but I think I hope the French takes the cup best Ruben Nathan Wajsman skrev: > I find it highly ironic that Italy is in the final with the corruption > scandal in the domestic game as the background noise (although in > fairness it must be said that no players were involved).
