Soccer: what's funny about?



Today's funny friday, thinking of the ongoing World Cup, here is my take:

Before Togo made to the World Cup, I didn't know about this African country at all. (until now, I know not much, either). However, obviously, I am not alone. FIFA, Fideration of International Football Associations, has to pay big for being not knowing Togo enough. Before the game between Togo and South Korea, two nation's anthem were played. To every Togo national's surprise, their national anthem was not theirs, but South Koreans. In front of the world, South Korean's anthem was played twice!

FIFA was protested by Togo's Ambassador to Germany, who said that every Togo person was hurt emotionally, ritually and spiritually, according to a Xinhua news story.
