Bono: Example of a great world leader
Bono and U2 have struck a deal with ESPN to use their music in the World Cup.

Bono may be stuck in a moment that he'd like to get out of, but he can take heart. ESPN struck a deal with his band U2 to use their music exclusively for their World Cup coverage.

Along with using the Irish supergroup's music, the South African Soweto Gospel Choir also recorded versions of some U2 songs for the network to use, and ESPN took footage from the band's 2009 concert at the Rose Bowl for some of their ads.

So even though they'll be away from our shores for a few months, they'll be inescapable here and all over the world.

Seeing as U2 are three-quarters English, will they be supporting England in the World Cup?

If you put "A G E" and "M IN GLE" together, then you will get the url. It's a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

Great news...U2 is "all ways" inescapable. I love this picture of Bono deep in thought.
