Most of the European teams have de facto nicknames as well, like the "Three Lions" (England) the "Azzuri" (Italy) "Les Bleus" (France), Clockwork Orange, and so on.

I don't think it was intentional.
Ribery is probably going to push France over the top.

They've pretty much controlled this game, barring accident.

You're right about Ribery - where'd he come from? Playing his butt off.

Ribery is definitely the most entertaining player on the field. Anyone know what happened to his face?

I'd quote the INS officer from "Scarface", but I enjoy being able to participate in this forum...

The African ones are definately always best.

Hehe..

"Where'd you get that scar Tony?"

I think I'll end the quote there.

No idea, but even without the scar, he would still be the ugliest player on the field too.

I like it. "Antonio Montana" - sounds like a midfielder to me.

He's playing for Marsaille, but trying to move to Lyon.
