World Cup fever exposes countries with poor infrastructure

In Bangladesh soccer fans are not happy after multiple power failures. Protesters wielding bamboo sticks attacked an electricity office for the power failures.

In Ghana the gold mines have been told to shut down power consumption during matches, as televisions suck up a lot of power.

The need for better infrastructure is a world wide problem. Even in India if the power fails during cricket matches or big TV sitcoms, the electricity department has to bear the brunt of the angry mobs.
