This is the best day of the world cup!!!

Now we only need their grandpas (the italians) to be eliminated,
and then we can have real football with more or less honor,
i.e. not a lot of diving, no theater, etc.

😀

Right, because Brazil never dives or play-acts. And of course Portugal would never do such things. And the reason Henry was clutching his face on the foul that led to the winning French free kick vs. Spain is that a bee flew onto to the pitch and stung him. Right?

As for the Germans. Ballack had a couple of very theatrical moments yesterday-- if I remember right, on one occasion he responded to a mild tug on the arm by dropping to the ground. On another, the Argentine rested his forearm lightly on Ballack's neck. Ballack responded by frantically clutching his face, despite the fact that his face had never been touched. And of course the German coach is one of the most famous divers of all time.

There's something so absurd about singling out certain teams (Argentina, Italy) for diving, play-acting and so on. Any reasonably attentive viewer should have realized by now that every team, or almost every team, does it.

Not England though - we play proper like and all that. 😉
