You are mistaken if you think they cannot take it away from SA, but I doubt that will happen.

We already have it/killadoob said: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 gvtskilladoob said:we dont deserve a world cup

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

For those who are Anti-SA your best hope is that the WC is not a success but IT WILL BE HELD HERE!
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.Angelo said:The most important inspections have already been done which is why FIFA gave us the green light amongst many bidding countries.

"Nelspruit - Two Mpumalanga schools will be bulldozed to make way for the 2010 Soccer World Cup stadium.
The John Mdluli primary and Cyril Clarke High School at Mataffin outside Nelspruit will be demolished so that a R450m stadium starts.
Provincial education spokesperson Hlahla Ngwenya said temporary mobile classrooms will be provided for the 1 280 pupils until new schools are built in the same area."
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.Provincial education spokesperson Hlahla Ngwenya said temporary mobile classrooms will be provided for the 1 280 pupils until new schools are built in the same area."
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"?PCW said: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.

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.hj2k_x said:Sadly i know personally many many 'South Africans' that want to see this country fail.
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.Angelo said: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.
Nah - look at Zim - you can always print more money.PCW said:Funds will be diverted that may have been earmarked for regeneration of townships, hospitals, schools etc. Putting on the World Cup is not cheap.
