Third place play-off
England v Czech Republic
The result cannot be confirmed as nobody watches the game; not even the managers of the sides involved.
THE FINAL
Argentina v Italy 2-3
First-half: In what will be described as ‘the meeting of 2 pythons on a rope-bridge overlooking the chasm of death’ the men with the waft of cheat hanging over their well coiffured barnets will triumph in a feast of midfield chess on grass. Although Argentina take the lead through Carlos Tevez, Italy reply sharply from a corner through Luca Toni - his third goal of a mildly successful tournament. As half-time approaches, Sorin is straight red-carded for a neck-high roundhouse kick aimed at Juan Pablo Aimar on the bench, but this does not stop the Argie-bargies from regaining the lead through a nasty own goal from Alessandro Nesta (details of which are too bizarre to print here.)
Second-half: There is a lull in what is described as ‘the action’ for 25 minutes before the Italians equalise a second time through Alberto Gilardino after good work from supersub Simone Barone. With a man advantage and the wind in their jackets, there is only one outcome, and Inzaghi seals it by blasting in an already goal-bound Toni shot on the line and claiming it entirely for himself. What a way to win!! This of course occurs in the 94th minute.

Jesus. This has such a ring of truth to it I’m thinkng of bailing out of the whole thing right now. Thanks.

A straight red for a neck-high roundhouse?! Blatter’s directives have ruined the game.
