"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck

World Cup Final Sux!
Ruud Gullit is expressing his disappointment on ABC. A “terrible game” he calls it, “boring,” and “not an advert for football today.” Truer words were never spoken. Too bad Mueller was disqualified by a phony yellow card and couldn't play in the semi-final with Spain---soccer still has too many holes just like baseball that don't permit instant replay or even delayed replays. The Dutch play dirty, whereas the Germany/Spain match truly was a "beautiful game." Even against Uruguay, the third-place game was very clean, compared with the smudged-up shoddy final with more dives than a triple half-gainer per minute by the Dutch. The Spanish did the same just to keep the game on a level [!] playing field!!! Gresham's Law of Soccer: Bad Acting Drives Out Good Futbol!
