I don't get it ...
Tens of thousands sit on their backsides in a stadium while a small number of super-fit men kick a funny ball around trying to get it between some sticks at the other end. Meanwhile millions around the world sit transfixed eating and drinking unhealthy stuff while watching the spectacle.
A website offers random web-chat conversations with people anywhere in the world randomly linked. Meanwhile we neglect talking to the real people who are closest to us and with whom we are linked with filial and other bonds.
And on it goes .... its an upside-down world

I don't get it either. Never interested in the game.
On top of that, there are some questionable issues too:
"South Africa is splashing out $4.1 billion to stage the biggest football event on earth – the most ever spent by any host government... FIFA, has already made $3.2 billion on this year’s tournament, the largest profit ever recorded in the run-up to the World Cup. Yet four in ten South Africans struggle to survive on less than two dollars a day."
