Gooooooooal!

The World Cup is the one time I put aside my absolute hatred of football and get involved in watching a tournament. Can't explain why. Maybe because it's over in a relatively brusque 30 days.

It all kicks off in Johannesburg tonight with a concert featuring Shakira, John Legend, Angelique Kidjo, Alicia Keys and the Black Eyed Peas. But none of them will be able to match the effortless brilliance of this performance from Diana Ross at the 1994 World Cup ceremony.

She mimes! She kicks a ball! She misses the goal!

It's the perfect tribute to England's strategic plan.
