World Cup Fever

Wednesday Aug 5, 2009

Here’s a fever we don’t mind spreading around! As most Europeans are aware, the World Cup of Soccer will be held in South Africa in the Summer of 2010. In spite of a global recession, there are nearly a half million spectators expected to attend from all over the world. South Africa is quickly becoming a more popular destination for tourists, as they had over 9 million visitors last year alone.

Just because they haven’t experienced an influx of tourists like this, does not mean they won’t be prepared. There are currently plans for tent cities to be set up near the sites of the games in order to accommodate those looking for a more down to earth experience.

The World Cup is a massive event, which is always filled with drama and anticipation. The support comes from all over the world. Each fan hoping that their country makes it to the next round. Some countries have higher expectations than others, and it seems like there’s an underdog who takes out one of the world’s best teams. There are only seven countries that have ever won a title: Brazil (5), Italy (4), Germany (3), Argentina (2), Uruguay (2), France (1) and England (1).

Will we see an 8th champion in 2010? Who will be the underdog? Will we see a game with more than 16 yellow and 4 red cards? What are your predictions?
