I love the World Cup because it gives us moments like this.

See "Beauty and the Beast." The mighty hunter Gaston's sense of entitlement to his pick of women, and willingness to resort to violence over it, perfectly illustrate all my thesis in this thread.

Though admittedly not very clear; I intended to point out how Rich Soccer players from the favored teams don't seem to display as much team work as do some of the teams that don't have the "stars".
