World Cup 2006 - Who are you cheering for?
As the teams are moving forward to the semi-finals .....Are you wondering whom to support? World Development Movement's World Cup site provides a ranking of the "worthiest" countries to support in the World Cup, based on their record as good global citizens.
You can find rankings for participating World Cup nations taking into account 10 different criteria, such as the level of corruption in the country, life expectancy and the amount of money spent on health care. The better a country is in “global citizenship”, the higher it ranks.
And the winner is… Ghana! According to the website, this African nation has relatively low corruption levels, and spends more money on things like health services than on its military.
