USA is the clubhouse leader, if for no other reason than the weak dollar. Makes it much cheaper for all those Euro-toting fans to spend a month following their teams.

(And is it wrong for me to be rooting for the bottom to fall out in SA? I'm not talking deaths and destruction, but just enough to cause FIFA to move it to the USA.)

Oh, well aren't you fancy? What about the rest of us, who can't afford to suckle off Steve Jobs' teat, huh? What are we to do?

Um...sorry. I'll go now.

 

BASF'd.

 

You mean like he did at that Free Kick Masters event?
