Amazingly, Xabi spent just a short time off the pitch and was able to rejoin his teammates in their triumph. Not much of a game to watch, though, lots of yellow cards and missed opportunities. Hope Rio's final in 4 years will be a better game to watch. Ooh, that Kung Fu kick was hard to watch the first time, harder still again in slow motion.

Their albums are good for keeping the dust off your turntable and that's about all." —Tom Waits, on The Eagles (somewhat disgruntled in 1976, after they had a hit with his song <em>Ol' 55.</em>) About Cher I will say nothing at all. “They’re about as exciting as watching paint dry.

I guess they spent their whole budget dressing Cher up as the King!
