It's a harmless joke, but the game could become quite ugly. Many people blame the Italians for Frings' suspension, as the whole “blame Frings for the brawl after the Germany-Argentina match” campaign was started in Italy, apparently by a TV station named “Sky Italia.”

No doubt about it. The Italians made Frings throw punches against the Argyles.
It was an Italian/Argyle conspiracy. But then the BBC revealed the truth; it's an Italian/Argyle/Bush-Karl Rove plot.

I love when that happens. :)

Frings can only blame himself for punching the Argentinian and the suspension. There is also misinformation as to who informed FIFA and provided it with the video showing the deed - it was the German press itself.

Forza Azzurri!
