Subject: RE: BS: World Cup Final
Yea - but the same people who are complaining would keep very quiet if a dodgy decision went their way! One of the issues facing any sport that relies on a referees or umpires decision is that all parties are bound by the same rules. And by the referees decision. Until such a time as all parties agree to instant TV replays etc. there is no point in whinging about how or when you loose.

For what it is worth my prediction is that Germany will play Brazil but due to a previously unknown virus the referee, and both his assistants, will turn blue, stand on their heads singing 'I've got a luverly bunch of coconuts' and award the match, by a points decision, to Wales. The decision will stand because a replay showing that Wales were not in fact playing will be inadmissible...

Cheers
