Bacchanal FIFA 2006

I barely talk about football. The predictions announced today in the Portuguese newspaper DN and the Guardian (November last year) leave me with no choice, though. The World Cup will be the biggest bacchanal ever, said a Portuguese MP, which I believe was well-intentioned but naïve about the power of his words. 400 thousand prostitutes, 30% above the normal in Germany, and a four-storey brothel in Berlin will be a delight for more than 100,000 England fans and a couple more from Portugal. Careful, other marriages between Sir Football and Miss Prostitution didn’t end very well.
