Now there's a wheeze! Get on to relatively poor but sport-talent rich nations (Brazil, perhaps?) and offer to allow their citizens access to no-questions-asked health and social security benefits in return for playing under some kind of handicap. Wear left-footed boots on both feet, that kind of thing.

Can you really imagine anyone going up to Phil Vickery and saying "come on, Phil, throw the match so that expats loafing around in the Dordogne drinking cocktails can get their health benefits back!" He'd probably tear their heads off and spit down their neck.

I'm not saying the idea doesn't have merit; just that it would take some very special diplomatic skills to carry it off.

Last night was definately one of the sweeter evenings I've had this year! [:)]
