You didn't ask a question, but as I was indicating, several countries with similar social and economic problems have hosted world cups before. One of these countries is about to host it for the second time.

Sure the issue of how to allocate monetary resources is a legitimate debate. However, the last time I checked we don't live in a one party state. Its a democracy and the large majority of citizens would rather that money be spent on the world cup. Surely if they didn't want this they would vote out the government? Or are you suggesting that our elections are a sham?
