Unbelievable news about World Cup 2006:
Germany is investing billions of euros to stage the 2006 World Cup that is expected to be the biggest yet in business terms, but the honour of hosting the event has failed to impress German companies, which are crying foul at being squeezed out by big foreign players...German troubles started when it was announced that German beer would not be available at cup games because Anheuser Busch, the huge US brewer, had won the rights.So if you go to one of the world centres of beermaking for the world's celebration of soccer...expect thin, insipid American lager in the stands. Pure evil is afoot.

Might be a good idea to stop calling it soccer as well. The word is Football. This word should be promoted because I'm sure AB would prefer it to be called the alien word 'soccer'

I prefer "association football" but rely upon "fitba" for day-to-day use.

This is sad news to say the least. How can they allow people to travel to an ocean of great beer and then only let them buy pee-in-a-bottle(or can)? Luckily, I'm not going to be in Germany for the World Cup, so I can drink whatever I want while I watch it.
