You're just trying to twist the statistics to find a number that comforts you. Here's a different twist on the numbers: Italy's WC record when there are at least 5 juventini in the squad: 3 first places, 1 4th place, 1 QF, 2 first round exits Italy's WC record when there are fewer than 5 juventini in the squad: 1 first place, 2 second places, 1 third place, 4 exits before the QFs. Number of juventini on the 2010 squad: six D

Unfortunate, like suckitude, is in the eye of the beholder. > > >> Anyway, so Bayern has a streak of 7 consecutive finals. >> Now can some village club from this mediterranian >> dwarf state top *this*?!? > > You're just trying to twist the statistics to find a number that > comforts you.

Brazil in 2002 ? It seems to me they had players from all over in their startng lineup. Inter - Ronaldo PSG - Ronaldinho Barca - Rivaldo Roma -Cafu Real - Roberto Carlos Betis - Denilson (on as sub) Bayer Leverkusen - Lucio Lyon ? - Edmilson Milan ? - Roque Junior The three Brazil based players (Marcos, Kleberson, Gilberto Silva) all played for different teams too I think (wasn't Marco Palmeiras ? Not sure about the others). Argentina 1990 seems like a decent bet though. > > -- > Ll�o |
