ever since 1970 has any world cup oroduced cracking football.probably 1986.germany in 1974;2006 drab.japan/koreatoo hot and slow and probablythe most tedious itlay and spain.if brazil come to aworld cupwith 2 holding midfield playersand a single striker then attack minded football goes out the window.at least in south africa the party atmosphere created by the locals allowed one to let their hair down and produce a world that is different unlike europe where there is much of a sameness.also one gets to visit a contry with great diversity and boasts the finest stadia the world over in fact groun breaking in terms of technology and design.i think hats off to a 16yr old democracy on what has been achieved.proudly south african
