A very useful piece of advice for an Englishman: never trust an Argie. ;)

France vs. Italy. I cannot believe we have a matchup of two of the worst military countries in the history of mankind(cue large Italian response of drive by shootings, French response of surrender, and politically correct response of me reenforcing stereotypes).

Um, I guess that was funny, but what does military style really have to do with futbol style?

(intended as a rhetorical question, but if it /does/ have something to do with it, at least I will learn something!)

Good thing you didn't mention the USA, or right now they'd be busy invading you, grabbing whatever oil you've got handy, locking you up in an illegal prison-camp, and proclaiming how grateful you are to be liberated.

The US has many, MANY faults, but we are competant enough in military matters of the past(kindly disregard Vietnam and Iraq: The Revenge). It was a lot of luck that resulted in our military past not being complete s**t, but it is still solid. As for militaries; why it has everything to do with sports. Wars require strength, strategy, and solid training as well as a scouted enemy. Military campaigns require strength, stategy, solid training, and a well scouted enemy. The only difference is the lack of killing, and I've seen some soccer players that would have you think they were being killed(along with the Colombian incident).
