As the long reaching arms
of the Knights Templar inevitably encircle the Holy Grail (World Cup) and the
world watches knowing there is nothing they can do to stop it now (you will
need to read this if you do not understand why). Little do they realise what I
have discovered, which now makes their efforts futile. You see we need to look
at the achievements of the World Cup as a competition in the cold light of day.
So what exactly has the
2014 Brazilian World Cup achieved as the two final teams (Argentina and Germany ) face one another in their
true colours?
Have the people of Brazil been
left proud knowing that although they did not win, their team played like they
loved football, like they did as kids on the beach pretending to be Pele or Jairzinho,
running up the pitch being creative and taking risks . . . . . . . AH NO.
Did it help to solve the
terrible inequality and poverty that still exists in Brazil . . . . . . AH NO.
Were the ordinary folk of Brazil able to
get tickets rather than them being all sold off at huge profits to the rich
corporate bodies and the like. . . . AH NO.
Will the World Cup legacy
help Brazil
in the future. . . . . . . AH NO
Did it help just a little
towards World Peace and understanding, a competition of true sportsmanship . . .
. . . . AH NO.
Has it made the World a
better place . . . . . . . AH NO.
Is it the taking part not
the winning that is important. . . . . . . . AH NO
Has the corporate world
taken over the event so that it has become a money making machine for a few from
advertising and appealing to corporate greed and elitism of the few. . . . . .
AH YES.
So it is clear that the
World Cup can not be the Holy Grail, but just a lump of gold or the whole
competition would be an open, harmonious, and happy event without all that
money stuff lurking in the background and all the secret wheeler dealing
leading to suspicion of greed and corruption and a few men on a power trip.
So now I need to work out
exactly where that Holy Grail is before you know who starts sending its
Androids after me.
What’s that you say Skippy
. . . . . . The old Funfair near Stockdale . . . . . . . Surely not.
Grail ... gmail .... DotCom AH I see a connection.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are all elusive and intangible things.
DeleteAmazing how corporate greed gets in the way of a hopeful ideal of the World Cup unifying a nation, a world.
ReplyDeleteBrazil is still a country of vast economical extremes and turmoil.
I've heard a rumour about a Holy Grail World Cup to be held at your home. Have fun.

I think thats a George Forman World Cup Grill we are having Mr G.
DeleteExcellent! I'll bring the hot dogs!
DeleteI made 42p profit in the (buy biscuits) world cup. Maybe I should float myself on the (get some washing powder) stock market and sell advertising space in my comments... (do you need a car?) hahahahahahaha(have you been mis-sold PPI?)hahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteIt is a great achievement to make some money out of the Football World Cup. Only the inner sanctum of those in the know make loads of money out of this normally. OK 42p is not loads of money, but i have to ask does that Frans Slatter or what ever his name is spend his summer holidays at your place. . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of car is it
