Where have you been?

...to watch the Champions League final between Liverpool and some Italian team. Unfortunately the Italians won but not before they could show typical Italian sportmanship. Naturally all footballers are cheats and play dirty but Italians seem to do it with more style. For example, when this particular Italian team beat Man U in the last round several of the players developed "cramps" in their legs that required medical attention on the pitch, after only 70 minutes of play. Humm, professionals who are paid quite well should at least be able to play a full 90 minutes without succumbing to fatigue. Last night was no exception and they tried to run the clock out using this tactic. Fortunately the Ref was having none of it and would help the "injured" player off the pitch so play could resume. Naturally they would bounce back up immediately after the Ref's almost god like healing touch to reenter the game. But this was not enough as Liverpool lost 2-1. Oh well, better luck next time English Football...
