Picture: Another Rinaldo in the making?
Football (soccer) is hugely popular in Asia, especially in South-East Asia. Everyone knows ManU and the other big soccer clubs and betting on games is widespread (or an obsession). Nevertheless it came as a surprise to me when I learned that for example Chinese families in Malaysia call their new-born twins David and Beckam (incorrectly spelled) or Christiano Rinaldo!
Talking about football, next year Switzerland will host the European Football Championships. And if you want to see the ugly side of football, watch this frightening BBC documentary about hooliganism at the world cup in Germany: http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=26713483704811088&q=hooligan+untold+truth
PS: Thanks Faiza for the contribution of this funny little story!
