Yes, Domenech, the french coach, uses astrology to select the team...
"...few took Domenech seriously. It was discovered that he consulted the Zodiac in squad selection.

"

Hmm.
And with both Italy and now Honduras out of the cup too, that really is the end of the Blues, is it not ?
@Alastair: No, Uruguay wear blue (though it's a powder blue rather than a deep blue).
