FIFA unveiled the design of the World Cup 2010 tickets this past Friday. That’s FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke and Organising Committee CEO Danny Jordaan at the launch in Soweto. My initial reaction was that these tickets are a little on the large side, and that maybe there has been some sort of reverse Spinal Tap Stonhenge mix-up at FIFA HQ, but turns that giant ticket is just for show. Actual tickets will be normal size.
Read on for an up close look at the sample ticket. To zoom in further, lean forwards.
The ticket design has been unveiled ahead of the final phase of sales, which begins this Thursday, April 15th. South African residents will be able to buy tickets over the counter, while non-South Africa residents can apply for tickets via the FIFA website.

While most will be hanging on to ever call in South Africa, all the cool kids will be heading to Singapore for the real World Cup: RoboCup 2010. Like the real World Cup, but for robots.

I defy you not to watch these videos, including the greatest counterattack known to man after the break, and book your ticket to Singapore.
One of the qualification videos, in which one must be able to get up off the ground from multiple positions under their own power. Cristiano Ronaldo can’t even do that. And it was apparently named after his Real teammate, Karim Benzema. (Too soon?)
