I have been thinking about three trivial questions involving 2010 FIFA World Cup:
- Why was South Africa, a country leading Apartheid practices where the sport king is rugby and cricket, was chosen to be the stage for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, a football (soccer) tournament?
- Why is FIFA against the intervention by governments, like Nigeria and France, in FIFA tournaments, when those governments are unhappy with the lack of professionalism and national pride shown by respective teams?
- Will the profit coming from the sale of thousands of deafening and awful vuvuzelas, not forbidden by FIFA in the name of a South African culture, going to be applied for rising the life conditions of millions of black people in South Africa?
I have been thinking, and thinking, and thinking, and thinking, and thinking (sometimes I eat, drink, sleep and snore too) until I found it. Just in time because the tournament is about to reach the end. The following song and video(1) are the answer.

By the way, now that Portugal is off, I am against Germany. May the gods be with the other teams…
