You remember Bob Geldof. He was the leader of the Boomtown Rats who almost was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for organizing the Live Aid concert. He's in the news again recently, this time for being blamed for causing INXS singer Michael Hutchence to commit suicide. I think the truth is that Hutchence just woke up one day and realized he was having sex with a woman who had had sex with Bob Geldof, and the thought was too much to bear. Talk about a new sensation.
Hooligans bring an air of excitement to the soccer matches.
They also bring chains, knives, guns, bottles and brass knuckles. No one really knows, or cares, who's going to win this year's Copa Mundial. The 1994 Cup went to Brazil, which defeated Italy in the finals by a score of 1-1. Now you see why this sport is the worldwide craze that it is. What we do know is that the United States probably won't win.
