So here is a little worry coming out of England today. The Gaurdian Newspaper, which is not a bad one as far as English papers are concerned, is reporting that top FIFA officials are having doubts over South Africa being ready for 2010.
This is not some "White man's propaganda" from a doubting populous, but some serious journalism from a country that has hosted the tournament. OK, it was a long time ago, but that HAVE done it.
Also worrying is that a final decision on the whole 2010 thing will only be taken after Sepp Blatter stands for re-election next May. That's May 2007 if you weren't concentrating. Sepp needs all the African support he can muster for his re-election and HE is the one that keeps saying that South Africa has what it takes and Africa can do this and Africa can do that. Maybe he is just electioneering??
I REALLY hope the 2010 World Cup comes here, I will become a rich man, but the report from the Gaurdian is a little worrying.
