A man is sitting in his mid-field seat at the France vs. Italy World Cup Final. The seat next to him is empty. At the next seat over a spectator keeps looking at the empty seat and at the man two seats away, he finally can't stand it. "Does this seat also belong to you?" "Yes," the man replies. "This is just unacceptable that you would leave this seat empty for such an important game, I just don' understand." The man replies, "My wife used to accompany me every football game, she shared the same passion as I do, but unfortunately she passed away recently." The first man felt ashamed of course of his first outburst but still couldn't resist asking, "Isn't there somebody in your family who would have liked to come?" "Why yes, there were many of them but they're all at the funeral."

But that type of thing really happens !!! I'll be cheering for Italia !

Ahh Italy... A bunch of professional 'divers'..

From an Aussie's point of view, you're spot on Sambar 9.3
I think all players are divers; it's just the Italians SEEM to get away with it more but I'm still very interested in the match and "good on" whoever wins.

What about "Das Boot" Klinsman? (spelling?)

And they WON! BASTARD!!!!!
