The score is tied at 0-0, a few seconds remaining when suddenly an Italian player breaks from the pack and makes a run at the German goalie. Suddenly at that critical moment the German goalie slips and falls, the Italian has an easy shot and the entire Italian teams piles on their man to celebrate the victory. The German press is anxious to interview German team captain Kasparhoff to explain the loss... Kasparhoff: "Well, we were unprepared for the strength of the Italian team, and our prepartion for this match was ineffective. We got tired and allowed a final shot on goal in the final seconds of the critical game. But it's strange that our goalie slipped and fell just at the critical moment. Perhaps his wife needed a new car." TV-reporter: "What are you saying?!?" Kasparhoff: "Oh nothing. But one nevers knows for sure why games go this way." Kasparhoff was soon forced to retire from the game of soccer due to injuries inflicted by a mystery assailant. To this day he bears an imprint of a soccer cleat in his forehead, coincidentally of a size matching the goalie whose reputation he impugned years ago, although Kasparhoff insisted he never directly accused anybody of anything. Of his reputation for unsportsmanlike conduct, and a man locked in denial to this day, Kasparhoff says, "Well, really, what proof do we have that the goalie *didn't* do anything wrong? Hello? Hello? Where are you going?". Thus endeth the story. :))
