Yes, I saw that yesterday and I agree with you 100% (btw, thanks for putting the link to my post in Thread Morons). I will make a deal with you, I will go to the Canadian Options thread and I will say my piece, in exchange for your prediction for the first four places in the Cup. Like yourself I am also interested in the "folklore" of the cup, as much as I am in the games, it has never ceased to amaze me how heated up the interaction amongst soccer fanatics can get. I believe that if world differences could be resolved via a soccer match, (supervised, and no weapons allowed amongst the attending public of course), we may live in a better world, of course, there would be two championships, the current world cup as we know it, and then a separate one, run every year, were only THE POLITICIANS would play..... he, he, he, he.... That would be a riot.... an All politician, religious leaders, and bureaucrats championship matches would look like this: Imagine the US Republicans -vs- the Mexican PRI dinosaurs, and the prize would be for example.... free border passes for illegals for one work season... Or... The English MP's (member of Parliament), -vs- The Irish IRA's (NOT independent retirement accounts).. again, NO weapons allowed... and the Prize.... managing for Northern Ireland for a year... Or... the Iran's Ayatollah Arsaholas -vs- Iraq Saddam's Republican guards, (including Hussein himself), and their cronies prize: Oil supplies for a year at half price. Or...a round robin between all the Pope's bishops -vs- Yasser Arafat guerilla council -vs- The Jerusalen Rabbi league Prize: Winner gets to manage Jerusalem for a year. And a priceless match between Uncle Fidelito comrades -vs- Jesse Helmes and the N. Carolinans (I guess Virginians would sound better, but.....) Prize a supply of Habaneros (the cigars, not the chiles), for a year, and lifting of the embargo... The Indian Nukes -vs- the Pakistani mushrom clouds.... And so on... Anyway, let's not change subjects. So how about it Marcos, drink your four tequilas, and shoot.... fastnet.ndirect.co.uk Four places, that is all, fill the blanks: 1. 2. 3. 4. Otherwise we may have to ask the webmistress to...... starbase21.com it won't take but a... fastnet.ndirect.co.uk just like... fastnet.ndirect.co.uk Anyway, thanks in advance and... fastnet.ndirect.co.uk Z.
