"SEPP BLATTER is horrified by the example set for youngsters by the foul-mouthed Wayne Rooney, so the Fifa presidentâs reaction to an idea proposed for part of the gala ceremony at next yearâs World Cup finals will be awaited with interest. Peter Gabriel has been enlisted to help to create the theme and music for the event, which takes place in Berlin two days before the tournament starts, and one of the musicianâs suggestions may alarm the more staid members of footballâs world governing body.
Asked for clues as to what the ceremony might entail, Gabriel divulged one possible detail. "Well, I did have this idea," he said. "A red curtain across the goal, and that would grow to a skirt, and weâd attach little tails to footballs so they become like sperm."
Reminded of the complaints prompted by the appearance of Greek gods in various states of undress during the Athens Olympics opening ceremony last year, the singer recognised the potential problems. "I donât know if this is an idea that is going to fly." A spokesman for the gala organisers confirmed that the appearance of a red curtain had been discussed but she refused to reveal any more as the content is supposed to be a secret. Further information might depend on Gabriel dropping hints in unguarded moments.
The 90-minute extravaganza is the first Olympic Games-style, full-length ceremony to be staged before a World Cup. The opening match in Munich on June 9 will be preceded by a traditional, more modest affair, but the gala will take place elsewhere to allow any damage to the pitch to be overcome by the time that football is played there. The first match in Berlin is on June 13, six days after the sperm  or other constructions  make their appearance there.
A former Genesis frontman who subsequently enjoyed hits such as Sledgehammer and Games Without Frontiers as a solo artist, Gabriel is said to have become a football fan only recently, developing a soft spot for Liverpool. Perhaps his bizarre idea is no surprise, given a musical background that includes a wild 3-D animation landscape of steam trains, bumper cars and singing fruit in the video for Sledgehammer.
Fifaâs anxiety to increase its own importance, revealed in its creation of the Club World Championship, an attempt to match the impact of the all-powerful, Uefa-organised Champions League, may be behind the decision to introduce a pre-World Cup gala. "I think Fifa just wants (to say) âAnything the Olympics can do, we can do betterâ," Gabriel said. "Itâs a pretty big audience."

Gabriel is co-ordinating next yearâs event with a French choreographer and a German producer and he is clearly excited. "Itâs like owning a big playpen and someone else is going to pay for it," he said.
