The 6 biggest off-the-field World Cup controversies

The Week: Fake North Korean fans, illegal Dutch miniskirts, and a Brazilian Twitter hoax. The drama behind the scenes at the World Cup is almost as scintillating as the action on the pitch.

Although some pundits are bemoaning the lack of on-field drama during the first round of the World Cup — only 6 of 32 teams scored more than one goal in their opening matches — there's been plenty of controversy outside the bounds of play. From allegedly fake fans to sexy miniskirt scandals, here's a round-up of World Cup controversies. (Brazil, FIFA World Cup, Korea DPR)

The Dutch models( beer)
also cost Robbie Earle his job I'd like to point out. He was the one who gave the free tickets.

Earle
Why?
Harry190  +   703d ago
He is/was a commentator
and he received around 100 free tickets. Usually, those tickets are given to family or friends but he gave them to those models. His bosses found out and since it's illegal, they had to fire him.
