Within 1 day, 4 hours and 30 minutes, will start one of the most massive and spectacular events all can be held in our globe in recent years: the soccer World Cup in South Africa. It sounds exaggerated, really, but if we consider some "details" is not so. After all, there is no "religion" in the world with many followers (in this case, football), or language that has a shared terminology; All states (and non-state) in the world are representative team and are part of a global international organization (FIFA) that exceeds even the members of the United Nations Organization (UN), economic level, the organization manages respectable sums of IMF and World Bank (with the difference that the latter handle more debt than money) and has been able to build infrastructures in most countries worldwide, including more than 99% of the world population did not know existed; As a body, is able to raise more sponsorship money than it is able to raise that tax any other developed country. And, on a cultural level, may be a common topic of conversation on an equal footing between people of different ethnicity, race, tradition, language family, social status, etc.
Undoubtedly, the World Cup is an ac 
ontecimiento large. At the media level, has its own coverage of major world political and economic events (sometimes more). Thus, it is hard to believe this is reduced to a simple game, 11 to 11, with a ball to enter the opponents' goal. Canadian Declan Hill is one of many investigative journalists who come to remind us that football is more than just a game, more than a sport, socio-political connotations and / or economic with some influence, more or less, in Many societies in the world. One of his books, "The Fix" (translated in Spain as " Foul play. Soccer and organized crime ") opens the door to a world where they are supposed to change all the factors, internal or external, influential in a game. For many it is a lifestyle that brings income not reported in any farm public to others, even more.

Logic makes us think that things like chance, able to combine in certain fortunes or misfortunes, or the mere ability, it can reduce more than it is believed . No everything is in the hands of the gods or of men (at least, not that short dress), but there are many interests that make it possible to "push the destination" to a previously established. And fans of the sport will continue the competition with all the enthusiasm in the world, ignoring the possibility of which is served already written a script (even roughly) and convinced that the gameplay is free of artificial interference (the issue of corruption are urban legends). I do believe that not everything can be controlled, that uncertainty is real and that our favorite team can really win the tournament. And, above all, the end of the road can not be simply a product of marketing, more or less surprising (you have to please a very large audience), prefabricated earlier in caring offices, local selective or discrete boxes of glasses.
'm looking forward to it already!
