Is South Africa Ready to Host the World in 2010?  

I feel good as I watched the matches in Confederations Cup they host. The people there keep singing and playing during the match and the atmosphere is very happy.

The problem is, not many people in Africa are interested in soccer and so not many people attend the matches. In the World Cup, however, there should be more people from all over the world to come and watch, I think it is not a big problem.

Hi emmanola, I think they are ready and the confederations cup was like a "test" for them. I think they passed this test because there were no problems till now with anything except the rumor about Egypt's players being stolen but then they said it was only a rumor. South Africa is well known for its nice weather and stadiums but they have a big problem which is security and this is what people and players are afraid of when going to the world cup finals 2010. I think they are ready and I hope we will see a nice world cup there. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi emmanola,

For me, South Africa have done what to be done to host 2010 FIFA World Cup final. The stadium is ready. In term of transportation and other facilities like hotel, I am very sure about that. They are able to host this Confederations Cup smoothly may be because there is only 8 countries involve. But World cup final will have 32 participant countries.

The only problem I heard about this Confederations Cup is thief. Egypt and Brazil player claim that they have lose their belonging in hotel. This is not good for South Africa images. They should take care of this little mess if they want more people come to their country.

If we look at the football point of view, South Africa are ready to welcome their guests.

Thank your for the discussion and have a nice day.

Remember that they already have experience of holding the Rugby World Cup before now, so it not the first event of significance to take place there.
Of course the football World Cup is far bigger, but it will simply need the same organisation on a far bigger scale. I remain optimistic that it will be a well-run event. I only hope that there are not too many unruly fans arriving from Europe.

I haven't heard about South Africa too mich in soccer...unlike soccer South Africa is big name in the world of cricket and rugby...At first i thought South Africa is a amature team...but their proformance in the ongoing confederation cup has changed all that...they seem to have improved a lot going to the next years FIFA world cup...i just felt slight weakness in their defence..if they can improve a bit in that area they might be the favourite to win the cup...and talking about South Africa it is a beautiful african country...the stadiums semm very good...but the most important thing is the crowd...they are very much lively and they are passionate about their sports....their music are also awesome...i think visitor fans will love their stay in South Africa during the competition...so for me South Africa is more than ready to host the soccers mega event in 2010...all the best for them....
