  That's some scrood up advertising right there D:
  But fifa world cup is awesome. It is the only sporting event I really watch, and most of the world seems to agree seeing as how it's the most viewed event on TV, beating Olympics + Superbowl combined.

  How is this in any way related to soccer?
  Japan: Hey let's advertise FIFA :D
  FIFA: 'Kay but we ain't paying anyone.
  Japan: It's okay, we'll just get a few people to go onstage :D
  UK: You can take Beckii, she does not belong here D:~~!
