"World" Cup after "World" Cup, we park our disappoint about the conduct of the tournament organisers and hope that we wont have to repeat the demand for equality for all teams at the next tournament. But unfortunately, NO!
If FIFA cannot guarantee a FAIR "World" Cup (through the conduct of its officials on the field of play, at least) for all countries,
and I mean all countries; irrespective of their status in the political divide: 1st World - 3rd World or Donor - Reciepient, then FIFA should rethink the name of the tournament and its participants.
I wont be surprised if this trend results in boycott of the tournament in the future by some powerful victim.
A case in point is the fate of the Ivory Coast team in Group C.
I invite comments from any one interested in this issue.
