This is a piece of world cup coverage many non-soccer fans might be interested in. Apparently a bunch of ivory coast fans watched the game in their underwear after being denied entry at the gate because their orange shorts were advertising a Dutch beer. Making matters even more interesting, it brings up the point that Anhauser Busch secured exclusive rights to advertise and sell beer at the world cup. A bunch of poor sods go all the way to Germany to watch the world cup and get stuck drinking worse-than-piss American beer. That's just sad.
