good choice I would like to see that too.

Blatter has to go, world football/soccer cannot afford this man in charge anymore.

What do you think of this world cup as whole compared to others ?

I don’t think it is as a success as previous ones like in Germany.
Empty seats, bad atmosphere, there has been some trouble but of course it was not England so hardly anything gets said, the segregation looks awful and while there has been some decent games others have been woeful.

Personally I don’t think it should have been held in south Africa , if they wanted it in Africa which we know FIFA did then why not have to in the north part of Africa.

I think they knew they eventually had to award it to Africa, and perhaps the thought was to give it to South Africa, before it goes the way of Zimbabwe, so they might as well get it out of the way, since this one couldn’t be in Europe.

It’s a shame really, because many more Americans were interested in the WC over even 2006, but it may set things back here in this country because of the things like the Vuvuzelas and the bad officiating. It was a missed opportunity.

Hopefully the Brazilians will put on a good show in 2014, and at least here in North America, the games will be on in Prime Time for a change.
