Disagree. The French clearly played to win. Getting a medal as a consolation prize is absolutely worthless when all you wanted was the cup.

for arguements sake please define 'cheater' and 'cheats' in the context of soccer.

To dive is not to cheat because then ALL soccer players are guilty, it is part of the sport to embelish...ALL TEAMS DO IT...

then apply it specifically to Italy...keeping in mind that many of the worlds most famous players in the world cup were caught and called on taking a dive...MANY...starting with the worlds most overpayed, over played, overused bullshit out of shape B actor, Ballack...we can start with him and work out way through EVERY team...including Italy...

watch the sport more than once every 4 years and you may have an understanding of the nature of soccer...

as for the girls, hmmm, the only girl I saw crying was a lady at least 85 years of age on Oakwood avenue, waving two flags, alone, in tears - her birth nation had won the title.
