World Cup of Peace

So today the world cup final football game was played between Spain and Holland. The Spaniards won 1:0. Here in America we call this brand of football soccer. I call it football. It makes sense to call it football, seeing they use their feet and only the goalie may touch the ball with his hands as he defends the goal. If a player touches the ball with his hand at any point, he gets executed right there and then, it is THAT prohibited. So to me this is REAL a well as DEADly serious football game.

Of course there is American football which has very little to do with feet, and Australian football, same thing. But because we are superior and better country than anyone else, we decided to call a game which solely involves a ball and feet 'soccer' and call our game, which has an odd shape ball and nothing to do with feet, football. Still, the rebel that I am, I refer to it as football, our game would be referred to as American football and that's that. This is some thing we need to learn, recite and accept.

The one thing I've noticed is, that the poorer the country the better the team. I mean we sent our American team to the world cup, but they didn't do as well as Ghana. I think one of the reasons Ghana always has a decent team is because they have no jobs, nobody goes to work there, they invent nothing, their infrastructure sucks and the nearest hospital or grocery store are a three day donkey ride. When people have nothing to do, they take a ball and play games. Next thing you know they send this team to the world cup that makes it to the semi finals, while all industrial nations whose population is actually busy working and being productive, get eliminated inside the first rounds.

Another thing worth mentioning about the world cup, during the games there are very few acts of terrorism around the world. The Somalian pirates have taken time off from pirating ships passing by due to the games, and the Hamas and Hezbula are too preoccupied with the world cup to fire rockets into Israel and terrorize the population.

We need to heed this situation called 'world cup.' It keeps people busy with flag waving, cheering and blowing buzzers to a point where violence decreases the world over in significant numbers. We should, perhaps, think of games the international community can participate in, (Tick-Tack-Toe, for instance) and have one every month. It will give people something to do along with national pride.

Think about it.
