There were some nervous faces around the South African capital of Johannesburg this morning, as reports came in that Zulu forces, numbering more than 120,000, were taking up positions on the outskirts of the city.
The Zulus, the same ones that were in that film with Michael Caine, are angry that many of the African teams are unlikely to qualify for the second stage of the World Cup.
Cameroon are already gone, with Nigeria struggling desperately and Algeria looking like they will also go out.
Even hosts South Africa are looking doomed after their 3-0 defeat to Uruguay last week left them needing to beat France in their final game if they are to progress, and that is about as likely as a former World Cup-winning team having a player sent home, and then rebelling and refusing to train before a big match.
That was a long sentence.
South African police and security forces are on standby to deal with the Zulus, by running in the opposite direction if things get a bit tetchy.
Not a lot of people know that.
