Like most of the planet, The Spoiler shall be going increasingly World Cup bananas all the way up until the summer.
Today, to get everyone in the mood, above is Ricky Martin’s France 98 anthem, which came out nearly two years before he blew everyone’s minds with “Livin’ La Vida Loca” - which, by the way, means “Living the Crazy Life”.
The above one means “The Cup of Life”.
He also released a single called “She Bangs”, which needs no translation whatsoever.
The journalistic landscape is a vast one. Right this second, in snazzy areas of London, hardened tabloid hacks will be posing as bin men in order to rifle through celebrity rubbish. Higher brow scribes will be loitering around Parliament, ears flapping, dictaphones strapped to their stomachs. And somewhere in the Zoo/Nuts axis of sophistication, a trendy young journalist with deliberately messy hair will be pitching a feature called “Tit for Tatt”, in which girls on the street expose their breasts in return for a free tattoo. Most probably positioned on the small of their back.
And yet, The Spoiler is concerned with none of the above. Instead, we choose to follow the hard working sports journalists - from the likes of The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Guardian etc… - who have just today reported the following:
For today’s bet we’re chasing big odds and tip-toeing our way into an exotic market that rewards bravery: the half-time correct score. The match in question is Manchester City versus Bolton.
The Citizens continue to look a bit rubbish on the road but they almost always do the business at Eastlands, winning seven on the spin and going unbeaten there all season.

With the Terry debacle set to drag on and on, the jokes will surely keep flooding in. Footballers, another scandal is needed, and quick.
Remember, keep your jokes coming - just email us here with the subject line “Joke of the Day” and the pick of each day’s bunch will be published for all to see. Today’s comes from Spoiler reader/lady, Susie Boyd.
With the battle to keep/sign Cesc Fabregas set to rage until the summer, it’s probably as good a time as any to relive a few of his finest moments. Plus, it’s Tuesday, and Tuesday is now “Video Special” day. Those are just the rules.
Make no mistake about it, this season’s Premier League looks set to go to the wire. The top spot looks to be contested, rather predictably, between Chelsea and Man United, but after that, it’s all up for grabs!
Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool will all be feeling the pressure of ensuring a Champions League finish to keep the men up top happy/in a job, which might yet find Spurs and Villa producing some dazzling, free-of-the-shackles football to nab a spot.
But who do YOU think will be representing the Premier League in the football equivalent of Eurovision 2010/11?
Let us know by picking your Top Four teams, and leaving a lovely comment.
Like a proud lioness protecting her cub, Arsenal have reportedly stepped in and demanded that the honchos at Barcelona stop waffling in print about how Fabregas will be returning to his roots in the summer.
The public campaign to snare the midfielder has been hotting up, with rumours of a £40million swoop in the next transfer window, as Fabregas becomes increasingly like a pawn in a very smelly game of chess - what with Laporta stepping down at the season’s end, and the new presidential elections very much on the horizon.
