...fans anymore. Uptight players are resorting to beastly behavior too, and against their own sides. Roy Keane, the potty-mouthed Irish captain (Ret.), led the way with a lurid team-meeting harangue that caused manager Mick McCarthy to send him home. Rising to meet this challenge, Spanish idol Raul exchanged angry words with assistant coach Carlos Lorenzana. Even the icy Scandinavians are surrendering to their primal urges. Swedes Freddie Ljungberg and Olof Mellberg got into a scuffle in front of live TV cameras during a training session. The Danes mounted their own smackdown, a three-way rumpus involving Jesper Gronkjaer...

With quality players like Raul Gonzalez Blanco, Luis Enrique Martinez Garcia and Gaizka Mendieta, the Spaniards should cream Paraguay, as well as Slovenia, the smallest country to qualify; and South Africa is hopelessly out of its depth with striker Sean Bartlett lost despite Benni McCarthy's recent run of form.

This was not the first time I saw Esparza on stage—I was impressed by his turn as Che in the 20th anniversary tour of Evita that played Boston two summers ago and was wowed by his Riff-Raff in Rocky Horror—but as Jonathan he displayed such vocal power and genuine vulnerability, that there was no way I could pull my eyes off of him.
