Didn't you see that five-pointed star, two points up and one down, on 
the ball...? Those small trumpets on the shirts of both team...? Not 
to mention the bunch of Hereros on the tiers (obviously tv didn't 
show *that*)...? And you'll probably ignore that Pierce Inverarity is 
the sponsor of both teams, that their shoes are made of Imipolex-G 
and that the plate number of their buses are 00000.

No conspiracy? No, in fact it's usually called combine. But I cannot 
blame the honorable Vikings (all of them, honorable men), nor say 
that Italy was eliminated just because of that... this wasn't like 
Korea/Japan; we committed suicide when we didn't win the match we 
might and should have won, the one against Sweden, due to 
Trapattoni's wrong choices. And yes, there is a conspiracy, the 
pressures to get two zombies like Del Piero and Vieri on the football 
pitch because they belong to powerful and politically protected 
teams. Any teams which sidelines the fittest and most motivated 
players and have as regular players zombies like those (and everybody 
knew that, because they haven't played very much in their teams in 
the league) gets defeated.

What? Talking about football again? Holy shit!
