Fifa admit plan B for 2010

[Syndyre]

'Plan B' is also South Africa: Fifa

How things change in a year.

 

[Fudzy]

And so they come out of the wood work
Yeah I am going to believe a South African site from May...

Come now, we can't let you negative Nancys have your tea-parties alone now can we?

I'd like to here capetownguy's views on this. I'm sure alot of World Cup hosts have backup countries.

 

[Skinner]

Capetownguy must be traumatised by now.

 

[Devill]

Ouch.
Honey, I've got a new boyfriend just in case things don't work out.

ROFLMAO

I think they should go to plan B now already.... It will be embarrassing for us, but nowhere near embarrassing as totally stuffing up the entire Soccer World Cup.

With the crime rate as it is here, Metro cops shooting at the SAPS, killing of foreigners, situation in Zimbabwe, power crisis, fuel price... there is enough reason to go to Plan B.

+1

Now to dig up that thread where all the patriots said that a Plan B would only be enacted if there was a natural disaster.

T-bone is as dumb as dirt, so he is natural and he is a disaster......

..."earthquake" hey?

I have never heard of the ANC referred to as an earthquake although it does sort of fit as they also leave a trail of destruction behind.

I'm pleased to see that Blatter has giving an overly complacent government a long overdue wake up call.

Do you think it will actually wake them up?

We hosted successful rugby and cricket world cups. Why couldnt we successfully host a football world cup? Slightly larger scale but the concepts have been tried and successfully tested. I reckon we will host a very successful event, but speculating isnt going to get us very far...

No, because there is always a backup country/plan.
Sheesh, we discussed this to death last year some time already.

*sigh

Exactly. I dunno what is wrong with some people. Wanting this event to fail. Makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Still the fact that they're making these statements says a lot.

Slightly . The WC is far larger. Secondly the country has degraded significantly since the last event

It says nothing at all if you ask me. There is always a backup plan.

You remember when Greece weren't ready to host the Olympics like 6 months before it was meant to start? You think there wasn't a backup of some sort in place then??

Who said anything about 'wanting' it to fail

Not you man, But have you read the rest of the posts in this thread. Damn negative, the lot of them.

They seem to have a point though. Not much to be positve about

because the crime has gotten worse and after the xeno attacks things do look a bit shaky

Just let us host the damn thing already and then we can see what is what

Being negative is very different to 'wanting' it to fail.
