Comments on: UEFA’s Watching You, Cheaters http://euro2008.worldcupblog.org/news/uefas-watching-you-cheaters.html News from Euro 2008 Championships in Austria and Switzerland.

If football was a different sport, OK. Anything that goes after the match is over, in such a competition, can never be above suspicion. It´d be a completelly different thing if it was something already implemented in leagues all over Europe. Like this, it just sounds like a lot of bull, to get SWI and AUS further in front... Or just to nail the "Usual Suspects", which due to some strange reason, never end up being either France, nor Italy (talk about “professional time wasting” - for them it´s an art), nor Germany... Go figure... You said it yourself... Guys like Robben, CRonaldo, Nedved... No italians (somebody is breathing on my neck, so I´ll just throw myself on the floor - gently, to keep the style - cos the pain is too much), no Henry (I´m gonna dive my way into 3 or 4 matches, till another frog hits somebody and we all play victims and see if we can get away with it again), no germans (hell, we invented the word Schwable)... If FIFA and UEFA were above suspicion institutions, OK.
