Croatia, Russia, and England

If it weren't for the Croatians, who beat the Brits 3-2, the Russian football team would have been disqualified from Euro 2008 Championship.
And if it weren't for Henry's gaffe, who mispronounced some words from the Croatian National Anthem, the Croatians might not have gotten "their luck of the Irish" to the detriment of the Brits.

In my view, this kinda luck, obviates any need for virtuosity or training. All one needs is sheer and mere luck.
