2010 world cup

Fifa: WC 2010 to stay in SA

Johannesburg - Fifa has denied having a contingency plan to move the 2010 Soccer World Cup to Australia if South Africa is unable to host the event, the Star reported on Monday.

"That is absolutely untrue, 100%. There is no contingency plan at all," Michael Palmer, head of Fifa's South African office, told the newspaper.

"Someone has made that up. We absolutely, categorically deny it."

Rapport newspaper said on Sunday Fifa was working on a back-up plan to move the world cup event to Australia.

Its sources cited the levels of violent crime in South Africa, a third world public transport system, HIV/Aids and insufficient accommodation.

Danny Jordaan, head of South Africa's organising committee for the event, has also rejected the report, saying it was "laughable" and "absolute nonsense".

"What has changed since we won the World Cup? Why will we suddenly now lose it?" Jordaan told Sapa on Sunday.

You know what is nice about being pessimistic? When things go well we end up looking like chops but in a good way :D. Means things went well and are looking bright.

I would worry about the optimists having to read threads 4 years later. I hope i never have to bring up your posts about how this country is on track :eek:. I hope again in 4 or 5 years i am proven a chop.
