To all the soccer (er, I mean, futbol) fanatics out there: Marlon's diatribe, following the outcome of the Final, was not surprising nor unexpected. However, I was unsure whether his rant was a result of his frustration at the existing quality of German football or whether it was at his embarassment that the mediocrity of the German national team (Pete, you do not have to be polite; call a spade for what it is!) was displayed on a global stage! :-) Of course, a more sinister reason was that he was so mad that the Germans were unable to luck their way to another championship that he decided to get his kicks by stirring the pot on GN! :-)
Speaking of sinister plots, here is another one for all you conspiracy theorists out there. For all the bitching and moaning of the European teams that there was a conspiracy hatched by FIFA to favor an Asian team (remind me: who controls FIFA?), maybe there was a conspiracy after all, but to favor another European team! After all, once the Azurris and the Spaniards were pushed out, who benefited the most from that outcome? Good ole, Deutschland! Considering that a German speaking Swiss is at the helm of affairs at FIFA, it's not too much of a stretch. :-) That would then explain why the Koreans were the "favored" Asian team, not the Japanese. Imagine then the gall of Oliver Kahn to jump aboard this "anti-Euro" conspiracy wagon prior to the match with Korea! Of course, he now also says that Collina is the problem since the bald headed Italian also happened to officiate the Champions final beween Munich and Man U when the Red Devils beat up on Kahn. Of course, the simpler explanation could be that Kahn has a knack of coming short in the games that really matter! That may be the real reason why Marlon was all riled up! :-) And now, as the Mike Meyers character would have said a few years ago on Saturday Night Live, "Talk amongst yourselves!"
