76% less Africans than expected at SWC

World cup will be hailed an amazing success. It will be like South Africa with be bukk@ked with extreme praise as a total heroic Utopian nation. Not because we're going to do anything exceptionally amazing, but because people like you have planted such a seed of pessimism that the expectations have been set so extremely low. Keep it up. The more people are expecting panga's gangs and starving children will flies on them , the more likely this succeeds as a marketing campaign. The 400 000 people we going to have here are not really that significant. It's the journalists were trying to win over. And after months of telling the "South Africa is a war zone , dump angle" from afar, what do you think they're going to report when they get here and see how nice and perfectly normal it actually is ?

Ha ha ha. World cup for the win !


If you're the type of person who has been trying to convince the world that South Africa is so god damn awful for the past 16 years you must be nipping in your pants right now. Like you're a mischievous kid just about to be caught out for a big lie. I think at least some of you must be worried that we are going to come out of this smelling like roses. I've certainly notice the "You will go home in body bags" type rhetoric has slowed down now that people have realised it's too late. Backpedaling ?

You must love the sound of your own typing

I made no comment about nor have I slated SA or the crime/poverty/corruption prevailing here. I merely commented on the BS that FIFA and politicians have used to convince individuals with your grasp of reality that the SWC was the holy grail for change in SA. And I had nothing to do with the current failures reported by both FIFA and politicians presented in the media such as the article in the OP. It was just apparent from day one that the projections was based on European conditions and not the reality in Africa.

And your slobbering rave about the type of person I could be, is based on your own ignorance and not on any fact in my post. Assumption is the mother of stupidity - and you have made many assumptions in your post.
