Alessio, and with photos! He’s actually apparently in Uzbekistan. The odds of this happening have suddently dropped from stratospheric to maybe 100-1.

Matt, how true. Why would nations need any other means of support, if they can tax The Ronaldos in football prostitution?

Semi on topic, I almost quoted this bit in the Dose, because it sums up the situation (S. African restaurants closing because they can’t afford to remain open) so accurately:

And for the record, while PLANS TO LEGALIZE PROSTITUTION for the duration of the tournament may serve as an enticement to many, the customers may end up having to ask the hookers to skip the sex and cook them dinner.

Are you saying you don’t think the new legalized prostitution industry will help South Africa with the World Cup? If Brazil and Portugal qualify, they’ll build the stadiums on a profit with Pretty Ronny and fat Ronny…
