Fifa General Secretary Jerome Valcke said the right to sell beer must be enshrined in a World Cup law the Brazilian Congress is considering.

I’ve never been a fan of soccer but if FIFA is going to take a stand like this I might reconsider. A major food group like beer is worthy of our support. :)

I once sat through an entire Pirates game without having beer spilled on me.
Made me so upset, I smoked a cigarette risking a really big fine.

120,000 tanked up Brazilians with vuvuzellas watching a 1-1 tie for 3-/2 hours. What could go wrong?
