The Greatest Show

The FIFA 2010 World Cup is days away and the fever is mounting.Months of preparation and strategizing is finally going to put South Africa in the history books as the first African country to host the FIFA World Cup.Expectations are high.Both off and on the pitch.It is hoped security would not be an issue as SA is reported to be a country with one of the highest crime rates in the world.Credit must go to Danny Jordaan and his local organising committee for giving Africa something to be proud of.The Port Elizabeth born administrator has written his name into the history books.

On the pitch,one wonders how the African teams are going to fare.Nigeria,Cameroun,Ivory Coast,Ghana,Algeria and hosts South Africa will be trying to go one better than Senegal in Korea/Japan 2002 who surprisingly got to the quarter-finals.On paperP
