Caught in the middle of English channel?!

As the d-day beckons nearer and nearer,am faced in tis dilemma of my own which is routin whom at the WC.Traditionally my support has always been wid the les bleus which still has not waned with their performances..Though am not sort of a vacillating kind..4 the last coupla yrs watchin english players from close quarters has brought them even closer to my heart..this sudden change has even surprised me since not long ago i remember clearly cheerin the french all the way in 2-1 win over the English inspired by zizou heroics in the dyin moments of Euro '04 game.., i must say though am followin the intl friendlies of both nations with equal fervour only an encounter between the two at some stage of the finals will settle beyond doubt who has the edge coz i ll be forced to take sides..currently though it looks as if am caught in a storm in the middle of English Channel in a boat tat can sail either way as it subsides and things become apparent again (def its not goin to capsize!!)
The signs r ominous as regards italian football,a cloud of controversy is hangin over ready to explode once the WC ends ,FIFA and UEFA hav no doubt wid intentions of savin the tournament decided to keep a low profile of the issue tat threatens to rock very structure of the game..for long the chiefs of italian clubs hav been accused of buyin and threatenin referees,fixin matches and each time they've been brought under the scanner they ve come out unscathed one such recent houdini act bein staged by Juventus in the light of the drug allegation tat had such prominent names as del piero involved..u can as well equate the italian heads to modern mafia dons..the recent fixing charges only highlights their flagrant turpitude...if finally some justice and fair-play mark the UEFA hearin that has hitherto been absent then the 3 leadin clubs of italy in milan,inter and juventus may well b relegated and a quick procession of stars leavin will b inevitable .. i suspect the move of shevchenko to chelsea has more to it than a mere 'lookin for challenge' remark..its only the tip of the iceberg tat has been revealed and we r likely to see and hear more in the followin months..it doesn't augur well for the future of football at all.
