In 2010 when the World Cup was in South Africa, Bob Ruetemoeller, remarked on the PBS list:
"I just found a reference for this new species named Moraea vuvuzela."
The Vuvuzela was the cheap musical instrument of that World Cup.
Just saw the local organizing committee has banned beer just a couple of days prior to the start.
What are the folks gonna drink?
Apparently you can buy beer at $14 a pint in the fan zone (nearly as expensive as in the UK :) ), but sales have been banned from inside grounds.
unless you are the 1% in the private boxes, where beer wine and hard liquor are readily available
Money Talks!
Money talks and everyone else goes thirsty!
England's game against Iran was a revelation, it looked like they could play football. Tonight they played the USA, three of tomorrow's UK newspapers have the headline "Yawn in the USA". Back to classic England world cup play - a goalless draw. Draws do not win world cups, something England have proved a number of times.

You've hit on my favorite line/
If it is goalless it has to be a draw.
We had a TV guy here who would say a "Goalless tie"
