Everyone is excited about the 2010 World Cup. The majority of the soccer fans here don't read overseas papers or blogs and wouldn't really pay much attention to the ranting from "across the waters" anyway. This is going to be an African World Cup and we have had cricket and rugby World Cups and many other big International events in all the major cities in South Africa without any incidents, so it really is just the perceptions of a few - I do believe that many western people don't want to see Africans succeed. I hear so much judgement and superiority in their tone when they criticize and judge us. But, hey, that is their problem, not ours. South Africa is getting ready to host the best and most fun World Cup ever. Those fans who are not here will be missing out on an experience of a lifetime. The Draw is close - December 4 in Cape Town. Hey Johnathan

I wonder, what is the buzz like in South Africa now with just 224 days until the World Cup finals? I imagine the excitement is building but how are people over there dealing with all the nonsense and public smearing of Africa from Western journalists claiming it will be 'the most dangerous, fan un-friendly World Cup yet' etc? Have these jingoistic, nasty perceptions (no doubt based on nothing more than stereotypes) affected the mood at all in South Africa and Africa more generally at all? On the point of it all becoming real, I imagine once the draw is made in December then anticipation of 2010 really will go into fever pitch! :) Jonathan. Looking very nice indeed!
