The sad thing about the rightly deposed czar of US football &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/12/sports/soccer/13arena.html?_r=1&amp;oref=slogin&amp;ref=soccer&amp;pagewanted=print"&gt;spewing invectives&lt;/a&gt; outside the palace gates, is that his wisdom and xenophobia flow together like tango and cash. A lesser soccer mom could be left confused... A couple of days later, there was also an &lt;a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/grant_wahl/09/14/arena/index.html"&gt;apology and retraction&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a href="http://www.dunord.blogspot.com/"&gt;DuNord&lt;/a&gt;), showing that self-reflection is not yet a foreign thought to the man who blamed a lack of a WC'06 plan B on everyone but the person who was hired to devise it.
