That's *your* supposition, he is not an ambassador, period. Example to kids? Ask their parents and teachers, he is none. Fair play? Then why do you need referees? This is *professional* football. There are penalties for diving and arguing too BTW. I think you are missing the 50's or even the 40's. But man, those times are long gone. Even for rugby. > Sepp Blatter and the idiots in FIFA who have a vested interest > in making sure the big countries get through are a different story. > FIFA is not a sport, its business, tv audiences, sponsorship, etc. So let's not state the obvious. Not vested at all. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
