Losing 2010 laughable

We are the WC hosts, signed and sealed, there will be no reversal.

You are mistaken if you think they cannot take it away from SA, but I doubt that will happen.
 
we dont deserve a world cup

we will never get it

maybe if the government woke up and started doing something about anything we might get it

If we do get it (and we probably will), then it will be a perfect advertisement of how lunacy prevails in African gvts

He never said we dont have it he said we dont DESERVE it. But Angelo you are mistaken if you think FIFA cant and wont take away the world cup from us. But I am hoping just like you it doesnt happen so the rest of the world can see our crime "free" country :D
 
yea digital thats what i meant

just because we have it now does not mean we will have it in 2008 when inspections are done

personally i would put money on us not getting it

actually i wonder what odds a bookie would give me

The most important inspections have already been done which is why FIFA gave us the green light amongst many bidding countries.

For those who are Anti-SA your best hope is that the WC is not a success but IT WILL BE HELD HERE!

I actually got a mate in the UK to try and get me odds on WC2010 not being staged here. The 4 main bookies would not give odds. He even wrote to their
head offices.

However, they do give odds on Hitler being found in the Amazon. Read into that what you will.

I think it will be held here, but I regret that the it's the poorest people in shacks who are going to pay for it.

I cant fathom there being a single person here that wouldnt want to see a successfully organised event being held but if the country in unable to produce a safe well planned world cup then fifa will have no choice but to pull it regardless of the little engine that could mentality.

Its too early to be forecasting what might happen but the time will soon come that the country falls under the spotlight and either passes muster or doesnt.
 
Update on one of the stadiums to be built

"Nelspruit - Two Mpumalanga schools will be bulldozed to make way for the 2010 Soccer World Cup stadium.

Great. Just what we need. More sport stadiums and less schools....

Unbelievable - temporary (for ever) mobile classrooms? One more sign in a long list how little this government cares for the people - 1280 pupils banished to temporary classrooms - no problem - let them learn under trees. Great world cup those kids will have. Profit and greed - is all that motivates these - and an attitude of uncaring.

Uhmm........besides getting considerebly more customers to buy their hawked products and getting jobs in the construction sector for WC infrastructre, can you explain how "the poorest people in shacks" are "going to pay for it"?

These 'South Africans' are just disgruntled people who haven't come to terms with the fact that there is no longer legislation that makes them first class citizens in the country and relegates the majority to spectators in the affairs of their own country.
 
Funds will be diverted that may have been earmarked for regeneration of townships, hospitals, schools etc. Putting on the World Cup is not cheap.

No - we never cared for the legislation - and did everything to change it (ergo, the result, reality today.) And - we didn't want anybody to be spectators - which is exactly the situation this government has created today.
