One of the main points on the agenda of the FIFA executive body’s monthly meeting in March, ahead of goal line technology, was the banning of Xs. "We want a debate over the X and whether it could be dangerous," a FIFA spokesman said. "There may be a safety issue.” "They've all gone soft," "I don't know how they do it and focus on the game, it's weird. That's the way the game's gone”-Roy Keane on the subject. X?

Someone had this to say about X: “We will not miss X. His technique is average, he lacks the speed and skill to take the ball past opponents, and ninety percent of his distribution either goes backwards or sideways. He wasn't a header of the ball and he rarely passed the ball more than three metres. Younger players will arrive who will cause X to be forgotten.” His opinion, however, differed from that of Zidane’s who had to say this about the whole situation: “Why put another layer of gold paint on the Bentley when you are losing the entire engine?” Put Fundae.

X played football and was first chosen to play under-14 football at age 12. He was chosen to play for Warwickshire. His football career was marked by a number of injuries, causing him to remark later in life, "Perhaps I was doomed when it came to football". In mid-1984, X had a trial with Rangers, the club he supported as a boy. He seriously injured his knee, smashing the cartilage during training. X continued to train and play on the injured knee, tearing a cruciate ligament during a squash game. He never fully recovered from the double injury. How is X more commonly known?

In the 1962 semi-final against hosts Chile, X scored twice time in a 4-2 victory, but the occasion was to be marked by controversy. X was sent from the field late on, along with Chile forward Honorino Landa. "Okay, I was sent off," he said afterwards. "All afternoon I am kicked. There is a limit to the time when a man must be a man. When I was kicked I struck back. I had been roughly treated and spat on. My legs were bruised and bleeding. Finally I put my foot up. Unhappily, it landed in the stomach of [Eladio] Rojas. Afterwards we met as good friends because we know the heat of a great game clouds minds. "Tancredo Neves, Prime Minister of X’s country, sent FIFA a telegraph appealing for leniency. Incredibly, FIFA agreed and X was allowed to play the final. X?

X: "At no time did I see Y because I was focused only on the ball. Actually, when I think back about it, it was not good at all. Of course the referee should have shown a red card for the foul. That is obvious." The incident left X fearing for his safety."I had the feeling that there were people who wanted to harm me," he said. "I've been public enemy number one on many occasions. Honestly, people treated me like a war criminal. It was an unpleasant sensation."

Founded in 1997 at Navy Pier, on the anniversary of the Great Fire, X immediately tapped into the diverse ethnic makeup of the city. The team brought in Polish players Piotr Nowak, Jerzy

Podbrozny, and Roman Kosecki; the Mexican Jorge Campos; and the Czech Lubos Kubik. While all showed their talent while playing for X that first year, American players (Zach Thornton,

Chris Armas, C.J. Brown) proved most integral to the X’s continued success. Under the club's first head coach, Bob

Bradley – and against all expectation – the team completed the double in its first competitive year, beating D.C. United in the 1998 MLS Cup Final, and defeating the Columbus Crew to win

the 1998 U.S. Open Cup a week later.

Dzudovic, a player for Spartak Nalchik, told the Daily Star: "I will speak for X if he appeals."I don't think it was fair [the punishment]. He just was not thinking in that moment and after that he realised what he had done. He realised immediately what he had done and he apologised to me. I had a slight swelling after the game but I didn't have a bruise." Give X.

X was originally chosen as hosts by FIFA in June 1974. However the X authorities declared in November 1982 that they could not afford to host the World Cup under the terms that FIFA demanded because of economic concerns. Y was selected as the replacement hosts, beating the bids of Canada, and the United States. Give X and Y.

Thierry Henry paid tribute to X's contribution to Barcelona's win after the game, saying, "People always talk about Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Giuly and everything, but I didn't see them today, I saw X. He came on, he changed the game, that is what killed the game. Sometimes you talk about Ronaldinho and Eto'o and people like that; you need to talk about the proper footballer who made the difference, and that was X tonight." Indeed his ability to give Barcelona the cutting edge required to overcome Arsenal was noted by the international press. X?
