FIFA: South Africa Was ‘Best World Cup Ever’
Much like UEFA’s official match reports, FIFA’s general quotations are laden with bullshit. Sepp’s the galaxial high chief of clowndom, which has been well documented, but it trickles down the organization like some sort of maple from hell, clinging to all in a slow-moving avalanche of inevitability.

The World Cup as a League Table, After Two Games
So, one of the most exciting things about the World Cup is that you can compare all the best countries in the World and decide just how good everyone is. As the teams play in the Group/Knockout format however, most of that is conjecture. Except, now it isn’t.

Whose Reputation Might Be Made In South Africa
World Cups – they can make you, or they can break you. Particuarly in these over analytical times, arguments abound about just who the best players on the planet abound, and the biggest riposte to certain players is “well he never does it in the big matches”.
