If I wanted to see tribal dancing, I'd watch a documentary. I don't want bizarre, backwards local customs mixing with my football. It's like watching ER and Tina have a kick-about on Summerisle.
I believe it is because the people lack a strong, dominant, paranoid, dictator who will crush both dissent and basic goal-keeping errors under a relentless and mighty iron fist of oppression.
I thought I was watching a repeat of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Then I realised it was just a case of deja vuvuzela.
