Singaporeans are soccer crazy....young kids to old man mostly from
poor families..would stay at home on week ends to watch EPL
matches...into the wee hours. They support their EPL clubs... MU,
Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool....

Bad news for Singaporeans...very bad news indeed. FIFA is asking for
hundreds of millions from us ...to watch the World cup matches.
StarHub and Singtel are unable to pay the ransom and pass it on to
their poor subscribers.

FIFA is greedy, ...asking for a ransom from the poor viewers from
Singapore.
Screw FIFA... Screw profiteering bastards...typical of Western
organisations.
