The World Cup of "Futball" championship will be held in Brasil commencing June 12 with games in thirteen cities including the Amazon Basin. The referees have been designated last week and the final game will be held in Rio de Janeiro late June. The game has its own unique method of assessing penalties for infractions. If serious the referee will pull a yellow card from his pocket and hold it between his thumb and forefinger and wave it over the miscreant. I only mention this practice in light of a recent report from the Associated Press regarding the statue of Christ the Redeemer that sits atop a mountain near Rio. It seems that the statue was struck by lightning a month ago chipping a finger and just last week it was struck again chipping the thumb of the same right hand.
It would appear that the almighty may be sending a signal to the officials to be lenient drawing their yellow cards. I didn't know that Christ was a soccer fan.

I don't believe he is a fan. But, for sure, Brazilian officials deserves the yellow card. As a matter of fact, they really deserve the red card, already!
