Ok, thanks a lot!
I am just amazed that most of times I think the refs made a bad offside
call, the replay shows I'm wrong. The guys at WC are very good at what
they do. Hence the shock at such a wrong decision.

It's a wrong call but it happens... Bayern got a goal like that against
Fiorentina, and you can forgive them for saying it matters. In our case
it was the 2-1 at the end of the game... we lost down there 3-2 but went
through on away goals.

Anyone ever have an answer on why the blue shorts? I don't like them.

What the? You obviously don't read the rugby newsgroup. There is *at least*
as much bitching there about refereeing as there is here. If not more.

Maradona likes blue?
