Everyone seems to have gone a bit FIFA World Cup crazy these days - people who never follow sport and don't know the difference between an assist and an assistant referee are suddenly soccer experts. Cars around here are zipping about with flags of the involved nations flapping in the wind. Every day you can hear cheers and horns honking at some point or another signifying that someone has won a match or scored a goal.
This bit of information was on twitter yesterday...
these are the women in Pakistan who hand-sew and polish the soccer balls which are being kicked and head butted on fields in Brazil right now.
They are paid $ 182 a month for this honour.
Yes, $ 2,184 a year for sewing the soccer balls that earn millions for FIFA.
