World Cup Cash Cow: For Whom?
As millions and millions of women around the world wait in excited anticipation for the football to begin it is our duty to keep up to date and to inform the good readers about the latest top quality news.
This World Cup is, for sure, a cash cow, well milked by the governing body FIFA. In fact these FIFA people are the new fat cats of sport. These FIFA people are basking in the South African sun as they watch, minute by minute, their bank balances on the rise. The main problem here is that it is only the FIFA bank balances that are on the rise. The South African people only see their bank balances drop down and down.
The Swiss banks are also happy. Lots and lots of tax free monies coming into their FIFA accounts. This looks like being a tax free cash cow to the tune of well over a billion Euro for FIFA. And it is all legal.
As for South Africa, a country where about 50% of the population live in the poverty zone, it is a different kind of pay day. The South Africans will do the big paying and receive back very little. Ah the beautiful game and the wonderful way that football is used to really help peace and prosperity for all humankind. Ah the real sporting life.
The forecasts for the visiting supporters and the paying customers is also a bit of a worry for South Africa. It seems that they will be lucky to get 60% of the estimated returns. Ticket sales remain on the downside. However FIFA cares little or nothing for that. FIFA does not make its fortune through silly ticket sales.
Swedish born coaches Sven and Lars are also quite happy. Somehow they both have this ability to milk a cash cow rather well. But, for Sven, we must find sympathy here. He needs the extra cash to sustain his lifestyle. His women do not come cheap you know. Who is Sven and Lars? You are on the wrong page. Get a football life!
The world is also waiting for the infamous Wayne Rooney to lose his head and get sent off for bad behaviour. It is difficult to place a good bet on this right now. The odds are far too high on him throwing a big wobbler. But Wayne Rooney is in good company in the England camp. The manager, a rather temperamental Italian, is also showing sure signs of temper tantrums. Will he become the first ever manager/coach to be sent off the field in this African circus?
Many are making noises about the USA team. They call it soccer in the USA, not football. So it will be interesting to see the early game between BP and Obama. That translates as England versus America. The rumours are that the USA team are out to really ”unsettle” the Brits. Watch yer testicles and toes Wayne Rooney they are after you!
I have a deep feeling for Spain somehow. No rocket science reasons but just a deep feeling. Spain look good for this competition. I also sense that Germany will have a shocker this time which is totally radical. Usually Germany do well at all times. There is also Holland. They are a team that might shock a few this year. So in Europe we have some hope.
There has also been positive news coming from the whore-houses. HIV precautions have been taken. The good supporters of the beautiful game can enjoy the South African night-life without too much fear of bad consequences. However it is said that supporters should avoid the poverty stricken areas at all costs. Anyway FIFA have learnt the lessons from the recent Olympic games. There will be extra condoms available everywhere. No shortage there. It is good to see the moral aspect shown.
The FIFA magnates and mafia styled bosses have no fears about HIV. They use only the massage parlours that have been approved by the Swiss banks and the super-clean services sponsored by Addidas and Visa. FIFA are clean. We can also trust that the Coca-Cola clean sporty image will also remain intact. Budweiser beer and the McDonald's food will also improve the South African living condition too. So that's alright then.
So we wait until Friday. Bring it on we say. Always remember the FIFA motto taken from W.C.Fields:
”Never give a sucker an even break”.
