However, I do think a change will take place in 2010. i think people get on whatever band wagon goes past them. If the vibe is negative and the media supports that vibe, most people are inclined to join. So if people see how well the world cup is going, more and more will join.

In terms of South African soccer I agree to an extent. It is still divided along racial lines, but I see it more as a cultural issue, not racial. I’ve only been to international friendly games. South African soccer has a very distinct culture that white South Africans find it hard to relate to. Most “white” schools don’t have soccer as a sporting option and so the only soccer white kids can relate to is the European leagues. I think SAFA is partially to blame for this.

Good article.

Now as for the sabotaging of the World Cup: I think there is a lot of dishonesty and neglect of facts going on. I have sources who tell me that the FIFA is working on a plan B and has two other ocuntries in mind.

Losing the World Cup would be terrible. But who would really benefit from it? Why isn’t South Africa able to speak with one voice?

Forget the ex-patriots. Let them say whatever they want. They are not really making a difference and blaming it on them would be to easy.

Why is not possible to silence these voice by documenting progress at the construction sites, by submitting some statements from all leaders in the country showing that they areon the same page and will EVERYTHING to catch up on the schedule?

A good part of the rest of the world are acting as neutral bystanders. Yes we are concerned. The World Cup is still South Afirca’s to loose.

I can’t really think of anyone to wish for that to happen. Why don’t you shut everyone else up and show the rest of the world what you are capable of. I know you can do it and you’d totally deserve it.

Let the FIFA make a little money as well. That’s all they care about.

Now people want to tell me I can support whoever I want? Interesting! The same people will support the boks even if they lose, but no in football, bugger your country.

Then they start with the administrators. Someone won’t support Bafana because of the administrators. Rugby administration has been in some shambles for a while, but nobody stops supporting the boks!

Give me a break!

Maybe I was a bit harsh in what I said earlier… The question of wheter I would support Bafana-Bafana is mute - of course I will support them, I am South African after all.

No matter how in any other way I differ with you on any subject, we are united in support for Bafana-Bafana. That is how sport unite a country.

Please do not start a racial debate on sport - it might be the one area where we can be united.

Win against whom? East Timor? Zanzibar? Papua New Guinea?

Bafana can’t even beat an egg, man!

If Bafana Bafana win, they will inspire the nation to support them, black, white and everything in between.

Until we all learn to stop obsessing about race we will never ever stop being divided.
