i have lots of questions for you. first chris, to you. look ag head to the game, the match with germany this thursday, conspiracy theories flying today because, as i mentioned, both teams get equal points if they end in a tie, but come on, is that really something that happens? it allegedly has happened, past tense, 1982 world cup. there s some basis for this in the romanticism of the kind of of what kind of exaggerated circumstantial evidence you can have here in soccer land. this is a very romantic sport. there s a lot of passion involved. there was an instance where allegedly this happened, both managers of the clubs, coaches have said everybody wants to win here. i don t believe what s the point of being at the world cup if you re going to collude to move on. you should take it as face value, that they ll both go out and play their hardest.
