I for one am happy to see the smaller teams - like Iceland and Costa Rica - represented in the World Cup. Cinderella stories are much more interesting than the usual heavy-weights battling it out.

I agree, anything to destroy mono's system.

Does Swansea have a Reifenstahlian tinge?  Caught a game t'other night and got kind of a Mosely vibe.

Not that I've ever heard of.

Had a dads and lads footie trip to Italy a few weekends ago. We we're in the ultrasound end for Inter v Udinese. Some serious Mussolini shit going down there. Long time since I've heard monkey noises whenever an opppo black player touched the ball.
