A copy of the World Cup trophy was seized at the Bogota Airport in Colombia. The contents? You guessed it, cocaine. The trophy was a replica of the real one, and was meant to be sold as a souvenir. Too bad Colombia isn’t even in the World Cup this year, and hasn’t even qualified for the group stage since 1998.

Colombian soccer and cocaine have a long, and tragic history. The 1994 squad, arguably the best in the team’s history, felt extreme pressure from cocaine dealers who had bet on the team’s performance. The team’s poor performance that year lead to a player’s murder. Putting blow in the trophy the victim was desperate to win seems less than tact.
My thoughts exactly, Puppet LeBron.
Why were these criminal masterminds shipping blow to Colombia? Don’t they know where we get ours from there? I could understand them sending the drugs to Madrid, Spanish fans may need something to take the edge off after the Germany game.
I guess there’s no such thing as a smart drug dealer. They’re all dead, made up, or retired. If drug dealers were smart, drugs would probably be legal by now. Here’s some video of the bust.

“Putting the drug that transitively pressured the best team in the history of their country to choke, which led to a player’s murder is not a great idea.”
I read this 5 times and I don’t understand what this sentence means. I’m usually not a dick that points out typos but given the amount in the past few weeks, a little proofreading would be nice.
That’s a pretty large typo. Thanks for the tip.
Ironically, the real World Cup is filled with baking soda.
I think the largest typo is “BY: realryanwalsh”. Dude, do you just ignore all the green and red squiggly lines?

I’d say the biggest problem was not actually listening to the posted video where it says the coke WAS BEING SHIPPED TO SPAIN FROM COLUMBIA.
