Swastikas in Italy

Aside from the possible racial comments made by the Italian team on the field, the New York Times reports more racial unrest growing in the Boot.

Following the celebrations of its victory over France, Swastikas were discovered in an old Jewish ghetto.

An ex minister also enflamed the situation by declaring that the Italian team had vanquished a team of "Negroes, communists and Moslems."

FIFA is going to investigate the Zidane headbutting incident. I wouldn't be surprised if Materazzi gets a suspension in the end. Unfortunately, this is a World Cup to remember for all of the wrong reasons.
