2010 READY

With 19 days left before the kick-off of the long awaited 2010 FIFA World Cup, some feel that we are more than ready to host it but others still have doubts. Others claim that South Africa has won the World Cup already. I am much concerned with the readiness of our boys. To me it looks like they are going there to learn rather than to compete. I do not know if I belong to the pessimists group, but what I say is the result of my own observation. It's good that we have a chance of testing our strength so that we can work harder for the next tournament.

Despite all that, I fully support our National team, Bafana bafana, no matter what their standard is. We have one National team, whether it is good or bad, the fact is; it is our team. The excitement among most of South Africans cannot be overstated. They really feel it. We are looking forward to the big event, to see what it brings for us.
