| It'll be interesting to see how many fans make it home! Last I heard, SA isn't the safest place in the world to visit, and that was from a South African!

| was talking to a south african friend today and there are at present near riots because the government has done a lot of work to the public transport system and the taxi drivers dont like it according to him there has even been hijacking of busses by armed taxi drivers Just as a side note adam (south african friend )carries a .45 pistol with him whenever he leaves the house

| I worked with this guy, he had to go home to SA in a hurry because his mother and step-father were murdered in a burglary, both shot dead. While he and his brother were sorting out the family affairs, he found a letter addressed to him at his parents farm, it was an old bank statement. He had a bank account he'd forgotton about, with about €800 in it. He went to the local bank and cashed it in and closed the account... he got mugged walkng back to his car! Some bloke pulled a gun on him and stuck it in his mouth knocking a tooth out, he just handed it over. He said 'you can't take a chance with these f*ckers bru'. While they were clearing stuff out of a shed one day, they heard a loud explosion, they saw smoke rising in the air in the direction of the main road. They hopped in their dads pick-up and headed down the lane to the road, as they came over the crest of a hill, they saw an armoured car on its side on the road, on fire. There was 3 bmw's surrounding it and 8 men with AK-47's shooting at it. One of them spoted the pick-up and opened fire at them! They reversed back behind the crest of the hill to get away. The cops arrived minutes later, but the hijackers were gone, empty handed, the 2 men in the armoured car died. (This incident was reported on the SA news websites) All this happened in one week, in some remote backwater!! Imagine what it'll be like with thousands of rich foreigners decsending on the South African cities.

| Those scores really are not much. They played Luxembourg and San Marino. They are not really good teams and are made up of average joes like you and me. Germany beat Luxembourg 11-1 the last time and they beat San Marino 13-0 the last time.

| i hope they do a good job of hosting the world cup, they seem to manage rugby and cricket tours well enough but i imagine there might be a lot more people travelling for the world cup finals though
