Today's World Cup Subplot

Just a little heads up for today's match between Spain and France there is not so subtle subplot. Spain's head coach, Louis Aragones, in 2004 was caught on tape giving motivational instructions on getting French superstar Thierry Henry. His motivational instructions though came in the part of a racist tirade that seemed to come directly out of the 19th century. While Aragones fell behind the classic racist defense (but I have lots of friends of different colors or it means something different in my native tongue) he has otherwise refused to make any apology. Today Aragone's Spainish team meet Henry and France head to head. One can only hope somebody drop kicks the Spainish coach in the jugular.
