But look at the other side: Sneijder, the man most responsible for Inter getting past Chelsea and Barcelona and running the counters that beat us in the Final. He lives up to billing. Mueller, lives up to even more than the promise shown in the CL. Schweinsteiger, unbelievable, underperforming for years after 2006 and finally getting it together this season, is also even better in the WC than in the CL. Landon Donovan, billed up to the Moon and put under fantastic pressure, even though the US weren't that good and only got as far as their abilities, stood up to the pressure and provided many crucial moments for his side. Robben, as he recovers from injury, already crucial to the win over Brasil and the first and decisive goal in the Achtelfinale. David Villa, with the rest of his side not really living up to the pressure, scoring all those decisive goals for his side (of course we still have so see about it this afternoon). So there are plenty of superstars performing. Just don't listen to the bias provided by corporate advertising, which is almost always counterfactual in just about anything. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/ -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

Pantaleo Corvino is such a legend ... Yes indeed I recalled that commentary from you and Daniele during the second half yesterday :-) I was really happy, mainly because of the likes of Kaka _expecting_ the referee to give him some special treats. Man, he's like C-Ron for me (and I say that as a medium-strong Portugal fan). I do like Lucio, and I did notice that he went out like a man. He also tried to calm the younger ones down throughout the match, and had a good chance at the equaliser. I would have cheered him had he got it. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/
