Everytime I read news from SA and seen programmes before - prime example Ross Kemp on RSA gangs it makes me wonder how demented Sepp Blatter really is. I mean think about it (and by the way this isnt a pop at joe bloggs in the street its a pop at the state of the country) women are sadly constantly raped and lord knows the amount of women that go to a world cup, theres lots of violence like house robberys, kidnaps, abductions, murders, thefts of almost anysort from cars to wallets
so why the hell is it still going there - isnt there any way the governing football nations in each country - so say the English FA and the Germans and the Dutch and French and Americans and Argentinians etc come together and say look were really not happy about people coming to watch us here and we refuse to play in the country on safety fears
at the end of the day im a sports fan but surely most people realise that its not a safe place - no where in the world is really but RSA in particular is heading
the way of Zimbabwe so is it possible for countries to say we refuse to play there or are they obliged to go come what may by FIFA?

I know where your coming from but think about it man - A1 GP one reason its popular - the guy who owns it is South African and Adrian Zaugg is in it, thats why SouthAfrica is sucsessful with it as they respect the guy who owns it and therefore want to support one of their own
same with the Rugby as its a rugby nation and lets be honest what crowd levels are you going to get at golf and swimming events in comparison to a football world cup
no where near the same numbers so I take your point on board but your looking at it at a patrioc standpoint not the same as the rest of the world
