The World Cup Goes Cuckoo

Or should it be cuckoo clocks, with the Swiss beating the much-fancied Spain?

And then we have the ambush-marketing row over the Dutch and their orange mini-dresses! I have every sympathy for them, as Budweiser is crap American beer, that has no place in a sport, that is not mainstream in the United States. In truth no-one should be locked up for the way they dress. Budweiser is also not gluten-free. so I can’t drink it.  I suppose if I were in South Africa I’d be drinking Diet-Coke or some excellent South African wine.  I’d love to know what coeliac friendly alcoholic drinks are available in the stadia for the World Cup.

It will be interesting to see what happens the next time the Dutch play.  I wouldn’t bet against enterprising street traders selling everything they can find in orange and we’ll see strapping Dutchmen in orange T-shirts with matching wigs.
