Jimmy, here's exactly what I'd do if I earned your salary.
First, I want to say this: you're not irresponsible. You're just carrying more people than your salary should carry.

You want to be a contractor in building your own country? That's okay, but you need a willing buyer. He's probably not your market. Go sell to others.
Mexico won, that means South Korea must finish up South Africa to qualify for the next round. It’s gonna be easy cos they originally don’t mind Asians taking their jobs.
