Given that the USA has just recorded over 46m of its population under the poverty line, it maybe needs to look within its own borders before indulging in philanthropy to lesser developed countries (a much better term than "third world").

Darran - Yes, but it's grit, hope and playing a severely weakened team. Maybe I'm just someone who things the strongest team possible should be picked, injuries withstanding, in each game, whether you expect to win or lose.

So the winning team doesn't actually get awarded a prize of $1m. They get a little less than that.

"Be a responsible member of the international community. Oh and by the way, our WWII war criminals shouldn't be described as such as it was a long time ago and should be forgotten about. One last thing: we have abductees in DPRK. Please get them back for us".
