No need for apologies. I was just curious. You´re entitled to your own conclusions. :-)
No, really - it wasn't intended to be a shot at Germany or Germans at all. Obviously, FIFA staffs the officials internationally. I would draw no conclusions based on that. It just happened that the most pressure-packed international competition in American sports happened to be 1972 Munchen. That's all. I've always enjoyed your company here.
