Clinton and Mick Jagger watched the US match and then the England and Germany. Merkel and Cameron watched the same while at the G20 meet. The beautiful game is the one whose cup does get the high and the low involved. From the Roman fora to the South African Kalabash the games go on. Life's spice. No divide except may be the gender bias. To be fair the stadia is full of women supporters. The girls shouting lustily and the men crying. What more does one need?
The game may be beautiful but the goings on around it are the same as in any field of human endeavour. The murky elections. Rich Russians,Thai,Sheiks buying their trophy teams. But let us enjoy the games with or without the hand of God intervening!

So rudely forc’d
Tereu
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse
Not in Football, not with Sepp Blatter no technology please!
