Let's call shinanigans on those diving beetchas of Italy!!! EVERYONE WHO CAN in Germany, print up diving judge cards - just bump up the point size and print out very large numbers on standard sized copy paper, ranging from 10 to 1 (as many or as few numbers as you want) and then print some extra copies to hand out at the match. Every time the Italians dive, HUNDREDS OF US can hold up numbers to show how we judge the dive. Can you imagine the global press we'll get for this, not to mention the hell the Italian players will have to pay??? WHO'S IN???? HOW MANY COPIES CAN YOU PRINT AND BRING? Look for a copy store - they have them in every German city of course!!!! I'll bring 50 copies of a set of numbers, bringing 10, 8, 5 and 2. DS39
Great Idea, I wonder if the media will understand what we are doing? I'm guessing they wont, but I will get a good laugh out of it.
Make sure you guys boo the hell out of any Italian who goes down "injured," gets carried off the field, and gets right back up again, obviously just trying to waste time and slow down the game (didn't Iaquinta do this against Ghana?). It pisses me off to no end that the refs always let these guys come right back onto the field after they were pretending to wallow in pain while wasting everyone's time, not to mention making the other team kick the ball out of bounds. They could completely put a stop to this kind of behavior if they would just make them stand around for a couple minutes on the sideline.
ok I printed up 100 copies of 9,5 (that's how italians and others would say 9.5), 7, and 3. started handing them out on the streets of heidelberg last night, will bring to the match. i hope others can print some up too!
