	The Scotsman - Sport - Matteo latest to turn his back on Scotland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The injury-plagued Matteo, who won the last of his six Scotland caps in the 5-0 mauling by France in Paris almost a year ago, says specialist advice has persuaded him to withdraw from the international scene in an attempt to minimise the number of matches he plays each season.
		Matteo, who was sidelined for three months earlier this season after undergoing surgery on his troublesome knee, joins an ever lengthening list of players in recent Scotland history who have arbitrarily called time early on their international careers.
		Matteo’s absence is unlikely to register as much concern with the Scotland supporters as any of those who trod the same path before him.

		Matteo, however, will not be in awe of the group leaders, given that Leeds enjoyed home and away victories over the Belgian champions in eliminating them from European competition.

		Matteo was in the hospital for three nights last week....he had rotavirus, and became dehydrated.

		That night, Matteo had a collection of balls that he found around mom's house, and was keeping them in the bottom of his shirt, which he pulled up to his chest to make a "basket" of sorts.

	Hi - welcome to my site
		DOMINIC Matteo popped up at the right time to give Leeds a win that they fully deserved throughout, but had at one stage looked to have thrown it away.
		Milner's cross into the box was controlled by Viduka who managed to lay it off to Matteo right on the edge of the box, but the Scot sliced his shot and it went wide of the far post.
		Even then the drama was not over, Legwinski's shot was going in until Robinson got his finger to the ball, and then at the other end Matteo crossed for Pennant to volley the ball but Van der Sar managed to deflect it wide.
