By the time you read this, FIFA™ may well have left the stadium, and we will be allowed to say outrageous things like ‘World Cup’, ‘2010’, and ‘South Africa’ again. Zakumi™ will have retired, resting his weary green tresses on an official polar-fleece pillow bearing his likeness. And Sepp Blatter will be hectoring the Brazilians to put more golden taps into their hotels.
