As I replied to Andrew (when I wanted to reply to the list but the "reply=
-to:"
wasn't there) the construccion in Spanish would be:

- (=C9l) me culp=F3 por jugar all=E1.
(all=E1 =3D all=ED), the preposition is surely "por".  Anyhow in Spanish =
(and I guess
in most romance languages) the infinitive could be used with any preposit=
ion
(much as the -ing form is used in English)  Is the finite verb: "culpar p=
or",
"culpar de", the one which tells the preposition.
