2 Jun 2009 13:00:01
During June and July of next year the global community will be focused on South Africa, as the African powerhouse hosts thirty two of the world’s best national teams in the greatest show on earth. Goal.com’s editors from all over the planet have given their thoughts on the host nation and its capacity to host.The editors were asked the following four questions:
1) Do you think South Africa will be prepared to host the World Cup in 2010?
2) What are your major concerns for next year's event?
3) What is the general sentiment in your territory towards the World Cup being hosted in Africa?
4) Would you personally go to the World Cup next year if you were able, if no - why not?
My own response:
CJ-1) Yes, South Africa will be ready to host the next year world cup event, they showed a different on drawing ceremony, I think the world have to give Africa the chance to prove themselves instead of always underrating and demoralizing them, Nigeria is an African country and has hosted the world events like under 17.
CJ-2) Traffic is going to be a problem; robbing and kidnapping may be the highest risk on safety, same thing happens everywhere and are cared of during similar events, if not there would no Olympic game Pekin 2008, so that will not stop South Africa to host the event.
CJ-3) In my area, people are happy to see that the event will be held in Africa, for the very first time, Africans are in love of football and I rate football as the most energetic event in Africa, we all feel like gathering down to South Africa to live the event.
CJ-4) Yes! If I’d be able I’ll go, Why not if not?

Soccer City Stadium
Soccer City (also know as the FNB Stadium) is earmarked to host both the opening and final matches of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Built in 1987, Soccer City has played host to some of the most memorable matches in South Africa’s soccer history.
Soccer City is set to be enlarged from its present seating capacity of 80 000 to 94 700 for soccer’s showcase event. Some significant changes will be made to the present two-tiered bowl for the World Cup: the upper tier will be extended around the stadium, while an encircling roof will be added. New changing rooms will be developed, and new floodlights installed.
