One thing's clear: in a man's sport, if you leave the game on a stretcher you aren't coming back. So how many will leave this way in the final? Considering that the French and Italians are in it, the morning line should be at least 3.
I don't care what Europe does and I don't care what they do in South America, children in North America should be taught never to dive and never to roll around like a girly boy. American children are taught to play virile sports, where if you're hit or hurt you pull yourself back up and keep running until you can't run anymore, and if the ref calls a foul or not, its all the same. No wincing, no writhing, no wailing in 'pain'.

I voted 3, but I think it will be 1, maybe 2 where it will be needed; every final game of the W.C. has little, if any diving because the players know what's at stake.

LIST OF RULES FOR WOMEN DURING WORLD CUP 2006.

1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of the
newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World
Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you
fail to do this, then you will be either looked at in an extremely hostile
way, or totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any
attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any
exceptions. If your eye even falls on the remote control, you will lose it
(your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind,
as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If
you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on
right afterwards, because during the World Cup month I won't have time to
take you to the doctor or look after you if you catch a cold.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a
refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you
expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up
the baby that just fell from the second floor....it won't happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six-packs in the
fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please
do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the
games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am,
unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "Get
over it, it's only a game", or "Don't worry, they'll win next time". If
you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I shall love you
less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me, and
your so-called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break up or
divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game, and you can talk to
me during half time, but only when the commercials are on, and only if the
half time score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one"
game: hence do not use the World Cup as a cheesy excuse to "spend time
together".

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have
seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child-related
parties or gatherings that require my attendance because:
a) I will not go, b) I will not go, and c) I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch
a game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as
important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you
have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we
can all watch?" The reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World
Cup is only every 4 years". Remember that after this comes the Champions
League, Italian League, Spanish League, Premier League, etc etc.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards, Men of the World

I predict at least two instances of players clutching at their faces after having been struck in the shins; And at least three instances of players clutching at their faces after having not been struck at all.

So what was the final tally? Did they carry off that guy Zidane headbutted? After I read about that I figure there's hope for soccer yet.
