As ironies go, this one's pretty good given the full spectrum of their acronym, and all, even if it's no longer surprising.

Everyone knows that the BBC's decision to broadcast their Panorama expose just two days before the vote hurt their chances. It was likely directly responsible for their exit in the first round of voting, even, though it's unlikely they were getting the tournament anyway (FIFA's lost its taste for vanilla, it seems).

Last year we had the drama surrounding Didier Drogba's participation in the African Cup of Nations. Or African Nations Cup. Whatever it was called. This year, Asia takes it's top teams to Qatar in January 2011, and it will have an impact on the Premier League. Park Ji-Sung is already with South Korea, and Lee Chung-Yong will join him.
