In preparation for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics, Rio de Janeiro has established a huge state-of-the-art surveillance space, boasting 80 interchangeable digital panels, 450 cameras, 80 square metres of surveillance screen space, and an awesome Batcave-esque name: the Control Room. I don’t know how they paid for it either.

11 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I wrote earlier this morning about a row over the World Cup anthem “Waka Waka”, in which a musician called Dominic James claims that the song by Shakira, featuring Freshlyground, has been incorrectly credited, and has benefitted Freshlyground unfairly.

21 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Never one to shy away from saying things that might just come back to bite him, our national rugby coach and orator, Peter de Villiers, has pretty much called Sonny Bill Williams overrated. He’s also said that we’ll have him worked out come the World Cup.

14 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 13 Comments
I’ve been talking to rugby people for the past seven weeks and the amount of anti-Peter De Villiers talk is very concerning. What do you want from the man? In the build up to the world cup I think we should put a ban on all “Snor” bashing.

The Springbok Gets Kicked Off The Front Of The Jersey
29 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 12 Comments
This was not a very difficult prediction to make, but I did kind of predict that this would happen. Our glorious rugby union has seen it fit to move the Springbok emblem off the front of the jersey, and have relegated it to the left sleeve for the World Cup. And today it has been unveiled for an already miserable South African public to see.

Seth posted this footage of a man allegedly trying to steal the World Cup (that’s right, the trophy) at the 2010 Fifa World Cup final at Soccer City on July 11. Some of you were kind enough to point out that “a man” was actually Jimmy Jump, a 34 year old professional pitch invader and […]
