IT COULD BE WORSE...:
A game of two halves: cheating and whining (Dominic Lawson , 11/22/09, Times of London)
I am grateful to all the many football pundits and even politicians who have declared that France’s qualification for the World Cup finals after a disputed goal “casts doubt on the integrity of the beautiful game”. In these recessionary times we need all the laughter we can get; and what could be more comical than this concerted pretence that professional football has for years been anything other than an inordinately well funded assembly of inveterate whingers and cheats?
...they could play three periods or four quarters. Posted by Orrin Judd at November 21, 2009 4:48 PM
