Who Will Make It To The World Cup?!!!

no matter how much i prepare you for this video, you WILL be left doubting its authenticity... and i don't blame you. i thought i was on a drug trip when i first saw it. i know you must be confused so i'll create a little FAQ. here goes.

- what channel was this on?
the channel was cnn international

- what the fuck?
I KNOW!!!

here's my favourite part: go to www.homelessworldcup.org... THEY HAVE A HOMEPAGE!!! your browser tab will read "Home - Homeless World Cup".

once you've come to grips with your disappointment for not buying the rights to "homelessworldcup.org" (and "romaniatourism.com"... that would be "websquatting") you've probably started getting excited and patriotic about the tournament. on the tip of your tongue is the same question asked in the months leading up to any international soccer tournament: "who will make it to the tournament?!"
i mean, who will literally MAKE IT all the way there?

the netherlands is sending their team with one-way tickets.

why doesn't fifa combine this tournament with their already popular world cup beach soccer tournament and create a 'beach / bum' tournament?

after the game, the players trade jerseys... for food.

every four years, countries from all over the world get together and decide who will host the tournament. last year milan showed up late and lost.

is the homeless world cup made out of styrofoam?

wait wait, come back, i'm not done yet.

- cristiano ronaldo plays for the portuguese national team and mario plays for the portugeuese national homeless team

- ronaldo is real madrid's 80 million pound striker.
- mario is an 80 pound striker

- ronaldo is first in line to take free kicks
- mario is first in line to take free meals

- ronaldo came off the bench in 2006 to score a goal against greece
- mario spent 2006 on a bench covered in greece

- ronaldo has a shoe deal
- mario has a shoe

please don't hesitate to add further with your questions and/or comments
