Thats why the Somalian referee has been blockedThey need to find a temporary solution around the WC so fans are not stopped, I read they are doing this and one of the ideas is $15k deposit you get back "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
