At least that’s the World Cup’s official song, which is admittedly catchy as hell.

And generally, yes, that’s the experience.  Unless you play for India or Pakistan, two cricket powers, both eliminated in the first round of play.  (In their place in the second round: Bangladesh and Ireland, two countries few would have given a chance.)  And the impact of cricket in India and Pakistan may be greater than all American sports have in the US, combined.

So India’s players now know that their property is being pelted with stones, they’re being burned in effigy, and police have had to begin guarding their homes 24/7.

Oh, and the Pakistan coach didn’t drop dead on the night his team was eliminated after all — he was strangled in his room.

Everybody sing: It’s the game of love and unity…
