World Cup Fallout

...Nigeria's President has suspended the national team from international competition for two years following their poor showing at the World Cup...

...the French Parliament wants answers about the piss-poor performance of the French team.

...English soul-searching has also commenced, with rumors that Manager Fabio Capello still wants his job and that the English Football Association doesn't really have the $12 million to pay for his exit clause.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter is getting all sweaty about this, because political interference in football federations is a big no-no per FIFA rules. However, I'd like to submit that Blatter has more important things to worry about right now- like the astonishing poor refereeing that's been seen throughout the early stages of the World Cup. (England v. Germany, Argentina v. Mexico, Slovenia v. USA.)
