Germany has said that it will re-impose passport checks at its borders during the World Cup in a bid to minimize the risk of hooligan violence and terrorism.
Busch-whacked
Anheuser-Busch will sponsor the World Cup in 2010 and 2014 under a new agreement with FIFA.
Anheuser-Busch -- which makes Budweiser beer -- extended its contract from 2007-2014, meaning it will also have the global sponsorship rights for beer to the Confederations Cup in 2009 and 2013.
"This deal means that by 2014, Budweiser will have been the official beer at eight consecutive FIFA World Cups," FIFA President Sepp Blatter said. "The fact that Anheuser-Busch is extending its involvement with FIFA is testimony to the immense appeal of football."
