[cite]Posted By: Chunes[/cite]Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a mental amount of handballs in this tournament?
Yeah, was thinking that earlier. The Algerian's deliberate one was the worst.
Anyone else think Khedira should have been given a second yellow for the Germans earlier? I think the ref would have booked him had he not already been on a yellow or if Germany were not down to 10 men.
[cite]Posted By: ValleyGary[/cite]anybody know what the blue sticker/plaster things the players are wearing are about?
I was wondering that, the only logical thing I could come up with was maybe to cover tattoos?
ah yeah that would make sense, altho dunno if its madatory as KP Boateng had all of his on show when he played. I was thinking they might be to do with temperature, but tattoos does sound more sensible!!

Several players have had their tattoos on show, why would people cover them up? Just looked on Google images, doesn't appear that he has a tattoo on his neck either.
Several players in the English league this year have had similar black strips along their arms or thighs, Steve Morison had them in a few games towards the end of the season, I can only assume it has an electrode or something taped to the skin that measures their vitals etc, I don't really know!
[cite]Posted By: MrOneLung[/cite]Some of the French players seem to have a black shiny tape as part of their kit, whilst others dont.
Anyone know what that is ?
Have noticed this too i am not sure, I dont think its a tribute to anything or one but am not sure will ask my cousins in Paris tonight if no one else has the answer before then.

McCarthy is speaking as he finds today. He's called the ref a clown and the Serbian keeper a tart.
Germans hit the bar just on ht.
Serbia 1 up at ht.
I'm being beaten at work in the predictions league by people who don't give two hoots at football.
What do I know!
