What Justice Is
September 15, 2010 By The Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C
In the movies, justice is a masked man in a cape locking up bad guys. In reality, justice is much different: it's having money to pay a physical therapist to help you after you fell off a ladder at the job site. Perhaps justice is a wheelchair access ramp. Sometimes justice is having the money to pay for ongoing medical treatment.

text: Prologue to Mefistofele.Lucia: Act II finale. Praised by Opera News as a conductor who "squeezes every drop of excitement and pathos from the score," Steven White is one of North America's premiere conductors of both operatic and symphonic repertoire. In 2010 he made his acclaimed Metropolitan Opera debut conducting performances of La traviata starring Angela Gheorgiu. Since then he has conducted a number of Metropolitan Opera performances of La traviata, with such stars as Natalie Dessay, Hei-Kyung Hong, Thomas Hampson, Dmitri Hvorostovksy and Matthew Polenzani. This season's engagements include Tosca with Lyric Opera Baltimore and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Dialogues of the Carmelites with Peabody Conservatory, Mahler Symphony No. 1 with Virginia Tech University, La traviata with Arizona Opera, Rigoletto with Opera Birmingham and Aida at Bob Jones University. At Opera Roanoke, he will conduct a new production of Die Zauberflöte and cover that same piece at the Metropolitan Opera.

With that same orchestra he will be making a recording of 20th century concertos featuring acclaimed trumpeter Paul Neebe. This past season he made his debut with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra in a tour-de-force gala concert with soprano Sarah Coburn. Other recent symphonic engagements include performances of the Strauss Four Last Songs with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and the Naples Philharmonic, internationally televised concerts with Rolando Villazon and the Greek National Radio Symphony Orchestra at the United Nations and Alice Tully Hall, an all-Wagner concert with the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and Opera Birmingham, the Festival Finale Concert at Spoleto Festival USA, a concert with Angela Gheorghiu and the Canadian Opera Company orchestra at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, and numerous concert performances with the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra and Opera Roanoke. His many operatic engagements have included La traviata, Don Giovanni, Carmen and La bohŹme at New York City Opera; Lucia di Lammermoor at L'Opera de Montréal; Lucia di Lammermoor, La fille du regiment and I puritani with Vancouver Opera; La traviata at Opera Colorado; L'elisir d'amore with Pittsburgh Opera; Die Entfźhrung aus dem Serail at Michigan Opera Theater; La traviata, RomŽo et Juliette, I puritani, La sonnambula and L'assedio di Corinto with Baltimore Opera; Lucia di Lammermoor with New Orleans Opera; Aida, Lucia di Lammermoor, The Merry Widow, Tosca and Don Pasquale at Arizona Opera; and La bohŹme, Carmen, Rigoletto, Tosca and Le nozze di Figaro with the Naples Philharmonic.

Hollywood party planner Lara Shriftman shares her secrets for entertaining, with recipes, hosting tips, and more
So your Oscars invitation never arrived in the mail. That's no reason to forego the glamour of the evening. It's easy to host your own telecast bash, complete with eats and an atmosphere fit for the stars. To help, we've enlisted the expertise of Lara Shriftman, one half of the public relations and special events firm Harrison & Shriftman, which is responsible for countless high-profile book and product launch parties, film festival fetes, and Hollywood parties. She's also cowritten several books on entertaining with partner Elizabeth Harrison, including Party Confidential.
Do Something Different
The sedentary nature of a party based on long hours of TV-watching can create particular challenges for a host, says Shriftman, who's hosted an Oscars-viewing party with partner Harrison for the past ten years (and whose guests have included Serena Williams, Lara Flynn Boyle, Luke Wilson, Forest Whittaker, Adrien Brody, and Molly Sims). "The Oscars are tricky. There are a million other parties that night. You have to think out of the box." But such creative party-planning doesn't have to require great effort. Shriftman shared her tips for creating a successful party that's totally doable for the home-based host.
Fine-Tune the Guest List, Decor, and Menu
Shriftman's winning party formula starts with the guest list: "The real key to any party is to have a great mix of people." So while your good friends might comprise the core of your invitees, include others who will inject some fresh interest into the mix. "Think about whom your guests would want to meet," she says. Next, add some simple decorations, set up your living room for ultimate comfort, and serve a menu composed of small bites of familiar favorites such as sliders and pizza, plus brownies, cupcakes, and cookies (again, all mini). But just because food's familiar, that doesn't mean it should be ordinary, warns Shriftman. Make a gourmet version: You can serve pigs-in-blankets, but accompany them with three dipping sauces. Or, she suggests, serve bacon-wrapped dates or tomato soup in shot glasses with an herb garnish.
Lara Shriftman's Oscar Party Menu
- Paris's Crimson Champagne Cocktail
- Meatball Sliders
- Pig-in-a-Blanket Lollipops
- Parmesan-Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon
- Tomato Soup with Lemon-Rosemary Cream
- Mini Paris Cupcakes
- Tiny Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Mini Brownie Cupcakes
Pre-Party Planning
Create a game plan: Any pro entertainer will tell you that the two safeguards against party failure are careful planning and organization. This doesn't necessarily have to be a time-consuming step, but think about what you want ahead of time, make a list of what you need to do to accomplish it, and allow yourself enough time to execute it.
Allocate your resources: One component of your plan should be a budget. It will give you realistic parameters. Decide what is most important to you and spend the majority of your money on that, whether it's food, drinks, or decor. "Personally, flowers are the least important part of my budget," says Shriftman, who prefers to decorate inexpensively with votive or floating candles.
Do a dry run: "Listen, I'm a party planner, and I always forget something," Shriftman says. Write down every detail of your party and go over it with a friend a day or so before to hammer out any unforeseen details.
Enlist help: Throwing a party with a friend is always more fun and helps distribute the work. Shriftman also likes to hire someone from a catering or bartending service to tidy up and make sure snacks are replenished. It's always uncomfortable when the host is cleaning, she says, and hired help frees you up to enjoy your guests.
The Art of Invites
Make your invitations enticing: Invites are the first impression guests will get of your party and set the mood for what's to come, so put some creative effort into them. Write or print the particulars on the image of an Oscar or a still from one of the Best Picture nominees. Shriftman suggests using colored or outsized envelopes to signal that there's something special inside. And make sure to send out your invitations no earlier (or later) than two weeks in advance: "Any earlier, and people forget," she says.
Over-invite: Face it, as fabulous as your party may be, there's a lot of competition on Oscars night from other entertainers. Even at celebrity-studded Hollywood parties, there are always no-shows, Shriftman says. "If you want 20 guests to come, confirm 25." And in order to confirm 25, you may need to invite 30 or more to account for folks who will RSVP in the negative.
Follow up: Ask your guests to RSVP by a certain date, and if there are any guests who haven't responded, call them to follow up, Shriftman instructs. Often a personal phone call can turn a "maybe" into a "definitely."
Party Setup
Winning decor: The Oscars provide a ready movie motif, so use that in your decor. You can do something as simple as placing fake Oscar statuettes around or serving snacks out of a film canister. Or line trays with the Oscar image or stills from nominated movies.
Create comfort: Since the awards ceremony is a long haul, it's imperative to make your living room as comfortable as possible, says Shriftman. Rearrange your furniture into what she calls "lounge-like vignettes" to create a cozier atmosphere. Provide floor cushions or drag in soft chairs from other parts of the house if you need additional seating. Also, Shriftman suggests dimming your lights or changing to amber or peach bulbs.
Provide an alternate viewing area: There are always two kinds of viewers, the die-hards, who are glued to the telecast even during the Sound Editing awards, and the more casual watchers, who attend mainly to socialize. If you can, set up two TVs to satisfy both types.
Make your guests the stars: For the parties she hosts professionally, Shriftman always offers gift bags as a memento of the event. It's not necessary to do so for a home-based party, but consider offering a movie-themed prize for the guest who predicts the most winners (hand out a ballot at the beginning of the night). You can also add an element of the paparazzi to the party (the nice kind only!) by taking Polaroids of your guests as they arrive.
Food and Drink
Make it mini: Bite-size is best, says Shriftman, as it allows for easier conversation and cuts down on silverware, which means less clean up.
Offer a good mix: For a smaller party, Shriftman suggests a combination of three salty and three sweet food offerings, plus bowls of nuts, candies, and dried fruit for snacking. Also, make sure your food can withstand sitting out. Sushi is bite-sized and delicious, but it's not something that has staying power for a four-hour-plus event.
Order out: Instead of making pizza, Shriftman orders it from a parlor serving gourmet or artisan pies. To ensure freshness, she orders a pie every hour on the hour, and asks the restaurant to cut it into squares.
Create a dining destination: Shriftman doesn't usually like buffets-however, she concedes they do work well for smaller, home-based parties. Set up your offerings on a table away from the heart of the action, like a corner of your living room or in the kitchen. This way, the mess of the food stays in one area, and eating becomes a respite when guests need a break from the duller portions of the telecast.
Always have a dessert table: Entice your guests with a variety of sweet offerings grouped nicely on a small table to be eaten at their leisure. You can even work this into your decor by naming different tables for nominees.
Concoct a signature cocktail: Shriftman suggests serving a special cocktail, such as a Champagne punch (like the Crimson Champagne Cocktail she served for one of Paris Hilton's party), and giving it an appropriate name (go for something goofy like a "Startini," or riff on one of the nominated movies-No Country Cosmo, anyone?). Not only does this keep your liquor costs down, it also helps to "brand" your party.
Outfit a simple bar: In general, beer, red and white wines, Champagne , and one cocktail will be enough to satiate your guests. Ice, lemons, and limes are other musts. And don't forget the designated drivers (or pregnant women or anyone else who might be sober). Always, always provide water, Shriftman says, plus lemonade or iced tea-even drinkers need a break.
Consider renting: If you don't have a surfeit of glassware, rent it, says Shriftman. It's cheaper than you think, plus, you won't have to wash it at the end of the night.
Oscar-Day To-Dos
Set up early: Decorate and arrange your furniture the morning of the party, or better yet, the night before. Get yourself ready two hours before your guests are scheduled to arrive, Shriftman says. You'll be calmer and ready to party when they do.
Do a double-check: Make sure you haven't forgotten any of the important items far enough in advance that you can make any last-minute runs to the store if necessary. And, Shriftman says, don't forget to check your television! Fix any speakers or wires that require attending to.
Meet and greet: Shriftman likes to set her party time one hour before the telecast begins. Welcome your guests with a cocktail or Champagne , and enjoy mingling before the show starts.

Throw Out Those Jars of Baby Food
By Cynthia Lair, reprinted with permission from Cookus Interruptus, © CookusInterruptus.com
For many years, I was a guest speaker for the Evergreen Hospital postnatal mom and baby support groups. I would haul a butane burner, pan, some toasted brown rice, a little grinder, and tiny cups to serve samples in up the escalator to the meeting room – I needed luggage with wheels. The room was chock full of moms and babies and toys and blankets, so I had to use my big voice. What I was yelling, while stirring freshly ground rice and water into cereal, was that if I could make this cereal in this room while talking to them, I was sure they could do it at home.
I also brought in some boxed baby cereal, which sort of looks and smells like shredded plastic, and let them decide with their eyes, noses, and taste buds which might be better to eat. The choice was obvious.
Cheered on by the Evergreen's wonderful Molly Pessl, RN, childbirth educator, and IBCLC, I reminded moms that nowhere is it written or proven that it is detrimental to give babies food with flavor. Why train the baby to prefer bland, tasteless food? If you do, you will end up with a three-year old who will demand plain macaroni for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They simply want the empty carbs with no flavor, what they are used to.
Molly says, "What's wrong with giving baby spicy food?" Amen Molly.
Years later, pediatricians came out with the same conclusion. Subsequently, we saw the birth of "cultural" jarred baby food. Hmm. Why buy curry in a jar when you could make it fresh for everyone and just give baby part of it?
This fire-in-the-belly I have about feeding babies and children better food has been kicking my hind end down the path toward writing, teaching, and now video-blogging for a couple of decades. I rant about it if only slightly prompted.
We can do better for our children. It doesn't take that much effort. Don't feed baby curry in a jar while you eat take-out curry from the whole foods deli. Save money. Make a simple curry dish. Eat together. Eat the same food together. It's a big strand in the tie that binds.

CBS Looks Into "the hottest thing in police work these days"
On Sunday, CBS staple 60 Minutes looked at Tasers. The report was more or less based on a May 2011 National Institute of Justice study which suggested that Tasers are used too often (something the ACLU also agree with, at least in New York state) and that there's something called "Lazy Cop Syndrome" which is what it says on the tin— officers using Tasers instead of their training in order to defuse a situation.
However, it seems that the brothers who brought stun guns to the masses (and the trading floor) by changing the method of firing from gun powder to the unregulated compressed air — thereby cornering the stun gun market with their TASER International— wanted to clear up some supposed misconceptions, so they went to 60 Minutes themselves.
An interesting aspect to the story is that the Baltimore Police Commissioner has some misgivings about the mostly non-lethal weapon.
The Baltimore Sun blog highlights these excerpts from the show:
Baltimore's Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld may be Taser's most reluctant customer.
Bealefeld: I recognize, one, the utility of this device. It makes the public safer in a lot of situations. It has helped contribute, in some measure to reductions of deadly force.
David Martin: But you're not a fan?
Bealefeld: On a personal level, no. I'm absolutely not a fan.
Bealefeld is a third generation cop who believes there are better ways than Taser to avoid the use of force.
Bealefeld: If you don't emphasize the training, and that's a key component, and the oversight, the use of them - it could lead you down a path of over dependence on that device. That's been a chief concern that I've had. That we don't substitute our basic responsibility to a short-cutted method of deploying a Taser to get people to comply.
And he believes that, even though the Baltimore police department has used Tasers for over 10 years.
Bealefeld: Even now less than 500 of the devices are deployed across the whole police department. I have 2,800 sworn members.
David Martin: What do the ones who don't get a Taser think about it?
Bealefeld: They're clamoring for 'em.
The whole show is worth a look, if only to remind ourselves how unfunny the screams of the "don't tase me, bro!" kid sound.
Reason on Tasers, particularly their part in the death of Allen Kephardt.

from what i hear, it was a pretty good report
definitely, cops have and do overuse tasers, a point i have frequently made. this is both an institutional problem (poorly written policies in many agencies) and an individual officer problem. in some cases, it is also a dept. culture problem
oh, i'd also like to know when the baltimore "police commissioner" had to actually DEAL with a violent subject, or heck... even make an arrest.
it's great that a cop-o-crat has misgivings, but he's not on the line making shoot/don't shoot or tase/don't tase decisions.
i;m not sure about baltimore, but in some jurisdictions, police commissioners often have literally NO police experience whatsoever.
From his departmental bio:
Commissioner Bealefeld began his police service in Baltimore as a cadet in May of 1981 and has served in almost all operational units of the Baltimore Police Department, including patrol, narcotics, district detective, homicide and on a federal task force. -
nice. CRED
Shhhh. You're interfering with his "cop-a-crat" hate, which he uses in the place of the more logical cop hate that most libertarians employ.
We've all seen the Wire, we know how he got his job.
yea, cop-o-crats like kerlikowske are AWESOME!!!
obama should get more!!
yea, cop-o-crats like kerlikowske are AWESOME!!!
You misunderstand. Cop-
o-crats suck. A cop-o-crat is still a cop. The o-crats part is unnecessary. -
bureaucrats suck
so, if you think cops suck, can you imagine the combination of bureaucrat AND cop?
of course my point about cop-o-crats is they are NOT cops. they are bureaucrats POSING as cops
in this case, he appears to be a real cop
"to remind ourselves how unfunny the screams of the "don't tase me, bro!" kid sound."
What? That was funny, someone even made a song out of it.
Just because it's painful and cruel doesn't mean it can't be funny. -
especially considering the "don't tase me bro" kid did it FOR political theater. his GOAL was to create EXACTLY the sort of the "theater" and controversy that he did, and to force the cops to respond to his idiocy. he was clasping his hands underneath him and was given multiple orders... iow it wasn't even an unjustified tase.
it is an AWFUL example if you are criticizing taser misusage.
Ah, a taser thread. Here's where I get to show, yet again, that not only are tasers are more deadly than other UOF options, they fail to show any decrease in officer or suspect shootings.
The only thing they're really good for is gaining compliance from a cop for some arbitrary bullshit that he wouldn't bring out a baton for, cause he knows it's bullshit, and jurrors usually only reward damages to broken faces.
Money quote from the study:
Fifty cities provided predeployment and postdeployment data on in-custody sudden death, 21 cities reported firearm deaths, and 4 cities reported OIs. The rate of in-custody sudden death increased 6.4-fold (95% confidence interval 3.2-12.8, p = 0.006) and the rate of firearm death increased 2.3-fold (95% confidence interval 1.3–4.0, p = 0.003) in the in the first full year after Taser deployment compared with the average rate in the 5 years before deployment.
actually, i give mass props to coeus. THIS is actual evidence, and rational, REASONable data to oppose tasers, at least as currently employed.
in all the anti-taser threads i have ever read he is the only one i have ever seen to offer compelling evidence
evidence that could very well change my mind
that's pretty fucking bitchen!
in all the anti-taser threads i have ever read he is the only one i have ever seen to offer compelling evidence
Did you forget about this?
was there a link to that full study, or just a money quote?
if so, fair enuf
this study that coeus provided is excellent, either way
anybody who is not willing to change their minds when data is presented that conflicts with their beliefs is... by definition... NOT reasonable.
Read it closely, now. I didn't see anything questionable, but we don't look too closely at stuff which confirms our perspective. I almost got rooked by that study you provided for excited delirium which was actually tracking the number of people who died while tied up (no other qualifications), till I tracked down the sources.
i *am*.
that's my point, coeus. it *is* compelling. i concede that
like i said, a reasonable man CHANGES his mind when presented with enough data.
a bigoted/prejudiced one does not
you have presented compelling data.
I've also cited that study on here before.
You have indeed. I just googled it, and you even found it a day before I did.
The report was more or less based on a May 2011 National Institute of Justice study which suggested that Tasers are used too often (something the ACLU also agree with, at least in New York state) and that there's something called "Lazy Cop Syndrome" which is what it says on the tin— officers using Tasers instead of their training in order to diffuse a situation.
You "defuse" a situation, much as you would defuse a bomb. Diffuse is the opposite of concentrated, as in "diffuse particles in the air."
"excerts" is an excerpt of "exerpts"!
The "don't tase me bro!" wailing is as hilarious as ever -- thanks.

Preseason predictions of SOS don't mean sh*t anymore. ND was supposed to have a tough schedule last year, with the likely hood of a 7, maybe 8 win season if lucky. They go 12-0, and suddenly they played the sisters of the poor every week. These 'experts' doing the predicting don't know sh*t. They should wait til week 4 or 5 before they start ranking teams in the polls.

Teams lose games that are far from their toughest every single season
Texas A&M wasn't Bama toughest game
Louisville lost to UConn and Syracuse last year for christ sake, in back to back weeks
FSU lost to NC State
Florida lost to Lousiville
Miami lost to UVA lol
Every year we see this, with just about every single team in america
Yet every year we have anime watching morons like you who think teams only lose in their hardest games

User Review: The North Face Men's Aleutian 3S Bx
Price Paid: around $70
Overall I had no problems with this bag. I was sleeping in about 25 degree weather on top of snow and it held up fine. My head got a little cold but I forgot to bring my beanie in the tent with me and I didn't tighten up the hood drawstring. I'm 6'9" 250lb and the long size did the job.
The only drawback is that is is pretty tight around the hips but not many mummy bag aren't and one other thing is that it's a real pain (at least for the long size) to stuff in the bag compartment of my pack. I can work it in but it does take some effort.
It's a great bag for the price and seems to be true on the temp rating. I do recommend it for people who don't want to spend $200-$300 on a sleeping bag.

Serengeti sunglasses pioneered photochromatic lenses that use energy in sunlight to darken as the light brightens, and the glasses have been popular with pilots and drivers. I have flown with a pair of Serengeti glasses for at least 15 years and like the variable darkness of the lens, and the sharp contrast the lenses provide in high glare conditions, particularly on bright hazy days or when flying in or near the tops of clouds. But, until recently, Serengeti styles have taken a backseat to optical performance. Now the company has a new line that offers the latest in eyewear fashion with even better optics.
My favorite in the current line is called the Navigator. The lenses are not as large as the traditional aviator style-which is also available-but still provide full coverage. The earpiece is quite thin so it doesn't harm the seal between my head and electronic noise canceling headset, which is important for pilots. Any type of glasses compromise the headset seal at least a little, but the Serengeti navigators were as good as any I have tried in my airplane.
The Serengeti photochromatic technology uses glass, not plastic, so the lenses are a little heavier than some other sunglasses. However, the glass lenses are far more durable than plastic and can last for many years of normal use without scratching or crazing. The new glasses in the "Driver" series have gradient lenses that are darker at the top. The view is good both out the windshield in the bright light and down at instruments or charts in the cockpit.
Younger pilots will probably be attracted to "wrap around" styles of which Serengeti now offers a big variety. No matter what style you choose the lens performance is the same so you can be in fashion with optimum optics. Serengeti sunglasses are available from a wide range of retailers, and street prices start around $100 for types pilots are likely to prefer.

Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2009-10: Mathieu Brisebois skated for the QMJHL's Lewiston MAINEiacs as a 17-year-old and played for the Sherbrooke Cougars in Quebec junior A hockey. In 31 regular season games he had 7 assists and was -5 with 22 penalty minutes. Lewiston made the playoffs despite finishing last in the Central Division. Brisebois played in three games in the playoff series against Drummondville and was -4 with no points and 4 penalty minutes. In 32 games with Sherbrooke he scored 7 goals with 9 assists and had 32 penalty minutes.
2010-11: Brisebois joined Rouyn-Noranda after Lewiston folded — skating in 47 games in his first season with the Huskies. He scored 3 goals with 15 assists and was -27 with 32 penalty minutes. Rouyn-Nouranda had the league's worst record; winning just 12 games.
2011-12: Brisebois was the second-leading scorer for Rouyn-Noranda in his third QMJHL season. He scored 17 goals and led the Huskies with 39 assists; finishing -17 with 106 penalty minutes in 68 games. Rouyn-Noranda made the playoffs despite finishing last in the West Division and was swept by Shawinigan in a first round series. Brisebois scored 1 goal and was -6 with 12 penalty minutes in four playoff games.
2012-13: Brisebois was the leading scorer amongst Rouyn-Noranda defensemen as an overage 20-year-old and also finished second on the Huskies with 103 penalty minutes. He scored 19 goals with 54 assists and was +15 in 64 games. The Huskies were one of the big turnaround stories in junior hockey — finishing second in the West Division and reaching the QMJHL semifinals. Brisebois scored 3 goals with 12 assists and was -6 with 24 penalty minutes in 14 playoff games. He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Coyotes in March, 2013.
Talent Analysis
An offensive defenseman, Brisebois is a shifty skater and has great puckhandling skills. Eager to jump up and join the rush, he has learned how to pick his spots better as he has matured. He has great vision in the offensive zone and moves the puck well, as well as displaying a great shot and the patience to get it on net. Only average sized for a defenseman, he will also need to improve his skating to improve his play in his own zone.
A late 2013 signing for the Coyotes from Rouyn-Noranda of the QMJHL, Brisebois will step into the AHL to battle it out in his first pro season in 2013-14.
Brisebois was dealt by the Phoenix Coyotes along with David Rundblad in exchange for a second round pick in March of 2014.

It would be fun to remember not only the big Classics of the game, but also the Stinkers: the kind of matches that made you wonder if there was something wrong with your TV set. I don't mean the fixes here (like West Germany-Austria in 1982 or Italy-Uruguay in 1970), but the matches where both teams just failed in almost every intention the may have had. Among the matches I cannot forget for this reason are England-Ireland in the 1990 World Cup, Sweden-Turkey in the Euro 2000 and Sweden-Greece in the Euro 2008, orgies in misplaced passes, mis-controling and wide shooting.
The aberrations have increased in correlation with the number of participants at the WC. I assume you're asking matches in which both teams were garbage, so it rules out such lopsided ones as Germany vs Saudi Arabia (WC02), Argentina vs Serbia (WC06), or Portugal vs North Korea (WC10). A few I unfortunately remember: Germany vs England (WC82), Netherlands vs Belgium (WC98), Ukraine vs Switzerland (WC06).
What I meant by stinker is a match with low quality that is also painful to watch. In Argentina-Serbia we got that incredible goal by Mascherano after 25-30 passes And Messi's WC debut, of course.
The goal was by Cambiasso, but I didn't count that match as a bad one since at least one team played well. It was dull. All I remember was Kluivert's send off and thinking why would the Belgiums naturalize such a useless striker as Oliveira.
If I think at a dull game with few chances created that is printed in my mind it is Netherlands-Sweden of euro2004.
I was at that game. Not a classic, but Zlatan did score an incredible goal. At least one thing that most fans could go away remembering. I was sat next to Phillip Cocu as well and behind Emilio Butragueno, but that's another story.
How was that fixed? That would be like Italian fans telling you that Sweden v Denmark from Euro 2004 was a fix and if you really must know, I don't think that Sweden v Denmark was fixed. Trap's side shot themselves in the foot during the Sweden game by sitting on a 1-0 lead. Do you have any evidence of a fix in 1970? Back to topic, I thought Italy's first half in the Italy v Slovakia match at WC 2010 was atrocious. The Azzurri barely put one pass together! It was only until Pirlo came on that the Azzurri 'magically' got their passes together.
It had all the ingredients of a fix: for both teams a draw was a perfect result (Italy having beaten Sweden and Uruguay Israel in the first round) and from the very first minute there was not one attempt to score a goal or even create a chance to do so. The fans started jeering early on and when it was over most spectators had already left the stadium. The match Sweden-Denmark was called a fix here in Italy, but elsewhere it wasn't. I give you a few examples: The Guardian: "Italy will wonder whether this was a fix but few here will believe for a second that there was anything pre-arranged about a result that sees both teams through to the quarter-final. Even if Thomas Sorensen spilled a cross to present an 89th-minute equaliser to Sweden's Mattias Jonson, no one except the greatest cynics or conspiracy theorists will believe there was anything untoward at work here last night." The Independent: "Yet this draw was no fix or stitch-up, even though the Danish goalkeeper, Thomas Sorensen, will be pilloried by Italian conspiracy theorists for parrying Christian Wilhelmsson's cross for Mattias Jonson to volley the fourth goal of an enthralling match with 90 seconds remaining." Kicker: "Eine schnelle und jederzeit spannende Partie endete am Ende mit einem für die Schweden etwas glücklichen Remis, das letzlich beide Teams ins Viertelfinale einziehen lässt." O Jogo (Portugal): "Se qualquer uma destas selecções fosse afastada seria uma injustiça para o futebol, porque este duelo entre nórdicos, em campo neutro, foi um espectáculo digno de se ver. O ambiente nas bancadas esteve tão forte como nos melhores dérbis da cidade do Porto e a festa ganhou mais força, com o apuramento das duas equipas para os quartos-de-final." Marca: "Si el partido respondió a un pacto de no agresión, el guión creado por daneses y suecos se merece cuanto menos un Oscar a la mejor interpretación por la emoción que ambos equipos pusieron sobre el terreno de juego." --->Om den har matchen var resultatet av en icke-aggressionspakt sa fortjanar det manus danskar och svenskar reciterade atminstone en Oscar for den spanning de bada lagen skapade. Bild: "Doch bei diesem Ergebnis wird es weiter den Betrugs-Vorwurf geben. Egal, wie beide Teams fighteten. Egal, wie sie die vorzeitige Entscheidung suchten." The only one that didn't excluse a fix was Argentinian Olé: "¿Escándalo? En el fútbol siempre pasaron cosas como éstas y, seguramente, seguirán pasando. ¿Acaso en Italia se olvidan de que el empate 1-1 entre la Azzurra y Camerún, en el Mundial 82, le permitió clasificarse al equipo de Bearzot para la segunda fase y también le dio lugar a Camerún, en su debut mundialista, a terminar invicto? Cuando dos periodistas de la revista Epoca escribieron una nota levantando sospechas, casi todo el mundo del Calcio se los comía. "No se puede tocar a la Nazionale, ¿cómo se permiten ensuciar al mayor éxito futbolista italiano de la posguerra?", les decían."
I wasn't asking about foreign media outlets writing about Italians claiming a fix at Euro 2004. I wanted to know if any officials, coaches or players from Italy or Uruguay spoke to each other before the match in regards to fixing the result in 1970. You haven't shown any evidence of an actual fix. West Germany v Austria in 1982 has been talked about much more. Why would both team want to do a deal just for the sake of eliminating Sweden anyway? Italy and Uruguay had defensive mentalities anyway and it was only the second phase of group matches, not the final match day in the group stage. A 0-0 draw shouldn't have been surprising. Regardless if there was a fix or not, do you seriously think Sweden had a good enough team to reach the quarter-finals? I don't think so. Aside from Bo Larsson, Nordqvist and Kindvall, Sweden didn't have many good players. If Sweden was good enough, the Swedes should have defeated Israel and beaten Uruguay by a bigger margin.
Sweden lacked creativity and was pitiful vs Israel. We had only three int'l class players back then, Bo Larsson, Ove Kindvall and Roger Magnusson, the great dribbler of Olympique Marseille. Unfortunately Ohème didn't allow Magnusson to participate in Mexico, and without him on the right wing, Sweden lacked flair and quality. Having said that, one thing has to be remembered: Sweden had an incredible defensive organisation, perhaps even better than the Italian one. Between 1970 and 1974, we kept seven clean sheets in 12 WC matches and conceded two goals in six WC matches. One of them was Domenghini's goal, where Ronnie Hellström made a terrible blunder. Unremarkable, defensive-minded teams have made results in knock-out tournaments before, and who knows what Sweden would have done if they had survived the 1st stage. Remember Italy scored one single goal (tho one mentioned above) in the 1st stage and still made it to the final. The Uruguay-Italy match was one of the strangest ones in WC history. If it wasn't the result of a fix, there is truly a mystery to be resolved.
I talked with PDG about this one recently and this match qualifies too for a bad game although it looks better in the highlights
I read some pages of Sandro Mazzola's book Ho scelto di stare davanti alla porta, and he confirms what I said: Before the match Uruguay's captain Julio Montero Castillo (the father of Paolo) approached Mazzola saying: "Hombre, aquí hoy empatamos y pasamos los dos". During the match almost nothing happened, but at a certain point Bertini made a solo effort and actually shot (not on target though). Montero went bananas and started insulting Mazzola with "italianos ladrones" etc.
It's enough to develop speculation but it doesn't necessary mean that a deal was done unless it was just a verbal agreement.
11 June 1990 England 1–1 Republic of Ireland Stadio Sant'Elia, Cagliari 12 June 1990 Netherlands 1–1 Egypt Stadio La Favorita, Palermo 16 June 1990 England 0–0 Netherlands Stadio Sant'Elia, Cagliari 17 June 1990 Republic of Ireland 0–0 Egypt Stadio La Favorita, Palermo 21 June 1990 England 1–0 Egypt Stadio Sant'Elia, Cagliari Republic of Ireland 1–1 Netherlands Stadio La Favorita, Palermo
Because of the stage and exposure, the 1990 World Cup final ranks among the worst matches at the World Cup level. For a change the Guardian made an accurate list - noting and writing down how it was seen at that time - rather than the usual revisionist claptrap. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/fo...8/memory-legal-backpasses-jones-souness-dixon The final was the epilogue to a journey full of dives, biased referees (Helmut Kohl, what's in a name) and serial fouling - by both sides. Unfortunately, the propaganda army (PR-firms?) is very strong in pimping up the overall performance and demeanor at hindsight, and doing so successfully. http://bundesligafanatic.com/is-germanys-midfield-of-the-early-1990s-one-of-the-best-of-all-time/
this is a good one..... egxypt deserved a win against netherland..unfortunately this game has ended only 1:1 for this Team..
Very well spot on ... JohnK' Besides the fact many regarding WC90 as the worst event ever, you also spot on few "worst games" of such event
