Soccer as a moral endeavour

Hmmm .... as I heard on the radio this morning.... in the aftermath of losing the game, the italians did what all good soccer players do, they blamed the referee!

I also heard that the coach claimed that in any case, Italy had the "moral" victory!!!

I am starting to think that perhaps the UN should design a series of soccer games to resolves key problems between nations - so that war would be possible, and legitmate, only if the loser refused to abide by the refs decision.

The ref would, of course, have to be a committee consisting of Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha.
