World Cup Widows of the World Unite!

The World Cup in Germany is the single most important global event to occur in the world in the last 4 years. The last event of such importance was the World Cup In Korea.

You think I’m exaggerating? Tsunamis, War in Iraq, earthquakes in Iran, famine in Africa, bird flu, Israel v Palestine, A.I.D.S. Nothing can compete with the never-ending ubiquity of the World Cup.

It is everywhere and has been for months. It’s in the broad sheets. It’s on T.V. It’s on the Radio. It is advertised on the back of the cereal boxes, bus shelters and on the train. Every two bit shop and supermarket has some sort of world cup promotion aiming to ride the wave of euphoria onto your shoreline of cash. The barrage of advertising, merchandising and revenue generated and dedicated surpasses any other single event.

Dedicated World Cup column inches surpass any disaster or war in recent memory. Does the public dress up in their nation’s colours and raise the flag as an act of solidarity for our boys fighting on foreign soil. Do they hell. As soon as the World Cup looms hazily in the distance every knuckle-grazing monkey has a flag sticking out of his rear window.

Did the Times, a supposedly quality paper, publish a 36 page special on 9/11, possibly the event with the biggest global impact in the last decade. No they didn’t, but they have for the World Cup.

I pity those people who dislike football. They are in for 6 weeks of absolute hell. If your significant other enjoys the beautiful game and you don’t you either going to have to threaten a sex ban, start a fire or fake a family bereavement to get some quality time with your other half.

I have taken 2 weeks off work and will watch every single game of the group stages unless I suddenly go blind. I am not fussy and will happily watch Outer Mongolia v Vanuatu if they had qualified. I will be in hog heaven. Should we win the thing I have no doubt that the country will probably explode into a million Carlsberg scented pieces and things will never be the same again.

In the meantime schools will shut. Businesses will stop. Life as we know it will grind to a football related halt. Think about it. You know I’m right.

You're right, The Times didn't produce a 36 page pull out after September 11. All they did was drop every story and fill the paper with stuff about some stupid plane crashes.
