Fantasy football of the worst kind

The World Cup kicks off shortly in Brazil, with associated nonsense either starting soon or already well under way (exhibit A: Wayne Rooney’s faux outtrage, with the English media’s interest in him and his family).

However, Fifa have already showered the world with blessings in the shape of a soon-to-be-released cinematic treat: Fifa the movie.

At first, I have to say I thought this was a joke, some kind of spoof to be unveiled later as a post-modern jest at our expense, a sophisticated trap for the unwary.
