The Australian Government should not be bidding for it, end of story. Dude, come off it. Soccer doesn't matter in the "Grand scheme of things" either...sport is a luxury item, a piece of entertainment. It doesn't matter a scrap "in the grand scheme of things". But Sports does matter to the unwashed masses like ourselves, and in Australia, AFL and NRL are 1000 times more popular than wogball. Yes, the world cup will attract a lot of interest, no doubt. But it'll be shortlived. The Government should not condone or enforce such drastic interruptions to 2 of Australia's favourite sporting competitions for a single event that is flash in the pan, overhyped, and far too expensive for our little economy to deal with.
