10 DAYS TO GO!

[LancelotSA]

My daily aggravation for those dreading the world cup! You are lucky I did not start at 500 days!


By the way, I am basing it on my ability to count. Most countdowns now are saying 9 days... but I fail to see how that works out.... let's look at the days of the month below from the 1st to the 11th (kick off)

1 June 10 days to go
2 June 9 days to go
3 June 8 days to go
4 June 7 days to go
5 June 6 days to go
6 June 5 days to go
7 June 4 days to go
8 June 3 days to go
9 June 2 days to go
10 June 1 day to go
11 Kick off!

They use hours too, so I assume that is what throws out their numbers.

I heard that due to security concerns, the SWC is being moved to Australia.

I'll add some daily snippets of news to the countdown.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South Africa (OC) has delivered on its promises and stands ready and waiting for fans to arrive and enjoy the first FIFA World Cup™ on the African continent.

This was the clear message following the final meeting - ahead of the tournament’s 11 June 2010 kickoff - of the OC’s Board of Directors in Sandton, Johannesburg, today.

“What we have promised, we have delivered,” said Dr Irvin Khoza, OC Chairman, referring to the OC and South African Government having met all of FIFA’s requirements, as well as delivering several successful events including the Preliminary Draw, the FIFA Confederations Cup 2009, the tournament’s Final Draw in December and the Team Workshop.

“It’s just nine days to the kickoff of this exceptional event, FIFA’s World Cup organized on the African continent in South Africa by South Africans. FIFA has the naming rights to this tournament, but all the work has been done here. Without the involvement of the whole country, not only sports people, but the South African Government, local, provincial and national, it would have been impossible to put together this event. The Organising Committee, in which we have complete confidence and trust, has done a great job. Thank you so much for what you’ve done and what we’ve done together. This first African FIFA World Cup will be a big page in the history of humanity, not only in the history of sport,” President Blatter told the Board meeting.

Maybe they say it is nine days because on the last day they sit there, look at what they have done, comment that it is good and rest!

I can't wait actually, to see how it all goes.

I genuinely regret not acquiring a ticket, not a soccer fan at all but it would have been interesting no doubt.

LOL, that's PD worthy.

+1, getting more stoked by the day. i know $%$%^$% about soccer, but I like the vibe, the flags, the anticipation. Watching the opener in Cape Town! And the QF.

Makes sense, we will never be ready in time.

I actually can't wait for the WC to start, I just wish that I didn't have exams at the moment.
