#2 What is this World Cup that you keep speaking of?

It is unfamiliar to me.

#3 So who's bright idea was it to send this little kickball tournament to that hellhole?
And they better bring their own whorehouses this time unless they want the entire planet dying of AIDS.

#4 tu3031,

The idea was FIFA's. Think of UN corruption then times it by 10. Makes the IOC look like pikers.

It was political correctness to choose an African nation but SA, sadly, won't get it done by 2010. Look for the US, UK, Australia, or perhaps even Canada to be the emergency replacement host.

All have the stadia, infrastructure, and HIV negative prostitutes that soccer fans crave.

#7 Sounds like a Congressional fact-finding trip is called for. Put Alcee Hastings in charge.
