I just heard a couple of sports guys on the radio talking about the Cup. They were talking about all the pressure on the players and the coaches. They said some of these coaches, if they lose a couple of games in a row, can be fired.

Then they mentioned that the coach of Mexico was told by officialdom not to smoke on the sidelines during the games. These guys on the radio then quipped:

"Damn they don't want them to smoke....... heck there's so much pressure they should be allowed to smoke ....... and drink.

LOL!

Considering that soccer players have been shot for own goals at the World Cup, being fired is a rather harmless fate.
