Use this link to send a message to FIFA to take the World Cup away from South Africa and give it to a more deserving country.

A country that cares for it's people and won't use the World Cup just to exploit it's people.

Send this to everyone in your address book and let's tell FIFA what this World Cup is doing to our country.

Tax money is being wasted on things we do not need. People are in need of stable power, clean drinking water, shelter and food.

Please, let's use this to inform FIFA about what we, the people of South Africa, think about this.

I already sent in my message. Do the right thing, send yours too.

The more they get, the more they might really look at what it's doing to our country.
 
Erm ........... you wearing a flamesuit? ....... coz trust me, you gonna need it :rolleyes:
 
Flame on.. I still think that our Government are making a mockery of their citizens just to have the World Cup. If anything, it may send a message to the Government that they had better look after their people and country before trying to be a big shot by hosting the World Cup. I honestly think it will better if it gets taken away.
 
WTF are you on?
Asking FIFA to take it away from us? That is the most stupid, idiot thing ive ever heard.
This worldcup can do wonders for this country.. Yes we have internal crime issues which could effect tourists, but this can only be proved at the time. If it turns out to be an absolute disaster, this country will know about it and at least well be able to address these issues, possibly. Taking it away is just shooting ourselves in the foot.

Your request is a joke.
 
You have got to be smoking some serious crack there....

FIFA won't be taking it away from us, they're making a boat load of cash from it...
 
funniest thread i've seen in a while. well done harpon
 
"This worldcup can do wonders for this country.. Yes we have internal crime issues which could effect tourists."

If its such a problem, then why are we riding our own countries success on the lives of innocent tourists?

Thats fkn disgusting
 
Yes, indeed it will be vrery funny when the entire world laughs at us and they start pulling their investment because of silly little things like crime, electricity shortages, fuel shortages, food shortages, etc..

Let's all join hands and celebrate when this country goes the same route as all the rest in Africa. Hell, at least we had a bit of footie in the end.
 
and what will pulling the world cup do in terms of changing ANY of those things, except of course remove a large impetus for the massive infrastructure projects currently on the go?

It will help taks focus of something that will not do anything for our country. If there was no World Cup, I think we may have seen other more critical things take the spotlight.
 
Its a stupid idea.

Our guavamint will beef up police and security for the duration of the WC....
 
Me naive?... and here are you thinking taking the WC away will do something good for this country. Thats a rich one.

Key word here is "Could" not "Will"
Tourists in all countries are targeting by criminals during these events, it wont be much different here, naivete will say we wont have any issues.
This country can still do alot regarding the safety of the players and tourists, but obviously criminals can get away with alot.
 
Which is a bad thing, and I repeat my statement...

The guavamint will beef up security for the duration of the WC.... why exactly is that a naive point of view when it has been stated by the guavamint.
