Italians break the World Cup

So not only do the Italians not have the balls or the brains to play attacking football, they apparently also have about as little respect for the World Cup as they do for fairness and matches that are not fixed. And does anyone else NOT believe that of the roughly 100 players on the four teams involved in the match fixing scandal, NONE of them out of a hundred knew anything. I don't buy that at all.

Maybe so, but FIFA said it was a replica.

I think it is conceivable that the players didn't know anything. It's not something that really concerned them, they didn't have to do anything to fix the matches, and the fewer people that know about a conspiracy, the less likely it is to be found out.

GRub (and the British media) needs to move on. It was a replica. If you want to talk about World Cup sacrilege let's discuss Brazil, who "lost" the original Jules Rimet trophy after they got to keep it in 1970.

The English lost the original trophy first, in 1966! I remember it caused a nationwide search and the trophy was eventually found by a dog called "Pickles"! :)
(You couldn't make that kind of stuff up! :lol: :lol: :lol: ).....

From the telegraph.uk.co:
Quote:
Cannavaro admitted that he slept with the trophy on the night of winning the final against France.

(Insert joke here)

Rat, you've inspired me to write an impromptu Limerick:

There once was an Italian name Cannavaro
Who slept with the copa de la oro,
He woke up with hives,
After counting his team's dives,
and now he can't help but feel like a Whoro.


I know, I know, next time I'll keep it to myself. :ph43r:

Is that the rum talking there???

hic. What frum? :blink:
