      <description>&lt;p&gt;chelsea bought him from parma, then he failed his doped test and
got free transfered. then juve signed him for free, then sold to
fiorentina, anyways he had quite a good season with fiorentina.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Mutu purposely missed tat PK against Italy le..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i tink..haha&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'cos rmb back in WC2002 in KoreaJapan?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;there was this Korea player from Peruga(&lt;em&gt;i cfm spelled
wrongly, its an&amp;nbsp;Italian club)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;who sent Italy out of e WC..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;n wad happened when he got back to his club?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;he kana sacked for no gd reason..haha&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;anyway Mutu surely or more/less wanted to save his rice bowl in
Forentina..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as this's the club tat gave him a lifeline right after his 1 yr
ban from football due to&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;use of cocaine..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I think it was juve who signed him for free then sold him a year
later to &lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Fiorentina and made a nice
sum in transfer fees...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No10: The host broadcaster&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A massive electrical storm in Vienna saw Germany&#8217;s thrilling
showdown with Turkey ruined for every armchair fan around the
world. At least 10 minutes of the rollercoaster semi-final was lost
in the TV coverage, including Miroslav Klose&#8217;s goal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No9: Karim Benzema&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The France striker went into the tournament with a growing
reputation as his country&#8217;s wonderkid. Fans were told he was the
hottest property outside Italy, Spain and England. But Benzema
failed to impress during his two dismal displays for the hopeless
French.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No8: Adrian Mutu&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The former Chelsea striker was tipped to pull up trees with
underdogs Romania. And with a penalty against Italy, he was one
kick away from sending his side into the quarter-finals. But Mutu
fluffed his effort and Romania later tumbled out against
Holland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No7: The co-hosts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Austria and Switzerland were both among the first seeds for the
tournament as the host nations but they barely raised a cheer for
their own fans. Austria bowed out with a single draw, while
Switzerland&#8217;s only points came against Portugal in a dead rubber
following their own elimination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No6: Mario Gomez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Germany&#8217;s route to the final was no mean feat &#8212; especially when
you consider they were effectively playing with 10 men for their
three group games. Gomez contributed next to nothing, with boss
Joachim Low seeing sense in the quarter-finals to finally drop
him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No5: Thierry Henry&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The man whose star continues to fade must take some of the stick
for France&#8217;s disjointed campaign this month. Henry&#8217;s goal against
Holland masked an ineffective showing, with his deflection against
Italy condemning his side to an early exit from the group
stages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No4: Greece&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems a bit harsh for the surprise winners of Euro 2004 to be
here but defeat in all three group games was truly woeful. And
Greece's arch-rivals Turkey rubbed the defending champions' noses
in it by reaching the semi-finals with a series of thrilling
comebacks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No3: Eric Abidal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Playing the world champions in a win-or-bust final group game is
never easy, yet France did not help themselves. When defender
Abidal chopped down Italy&#8217;s Luca Toni for a first-half penalty and
straight red card, it was au revoir Les Bleus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No2: Petr Cech&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leading 2-1 against Turkey with just two minutes left, Czech
Republic had one foot in the quarter-finals&#8212; until Cech&#8217;s howler.
The Chelsea keeper horribly fluffed a routine cross for the
equaliser, before an injury-time winner sent his side packing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No1: Luca Toni&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Italian hotshot came to the finals on the back of a golden
season with Bayern Munich, notching 31 goals in the Bundesliga. But
Toni endured a dreadful tournament, missing countless chances as
well as looking like a man running through treacle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Luca was apparently very dangerous, but the cow wasn't
worried,"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
