Sports: Soccer World Cup: Developments in South Africa preparing for the month of games

South Africa is abuzz with debates and neogiations regarding the coming soccer world championship being sponsored by Zurich, Switzerland-based FIFA. Protest and bargaining down the cost of tickets, also insuring over-the-counter sales in various localities in South Africa, has seen the number of ticket sales mushroom to over a million. The fans in the stadium will be mostly Africa, not white South Africans, not Americans, not Europeans.

The concert for the games will be telecast worldwide, like the games themselves. But now the music will be a world-blend that nevertheless features talent.

Two wins for South Africa, and the proper gloablization and democratization of the world's must closely watched and intensely loved battle among national teams for dominance.

Call it soccer or call it football (as is the case outside North America), these games are going to be stupendous, I woud imagine.
