lewisrfc93 470 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i think its going to be the biggest let down world cup ever, south Africa is no place to have a world cup imo for a start the pitches are dreadful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie1807 146 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I agree.It shouldn't be in South Africa.No offence if we have any South Africans on the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The pitches won't be that bad but no doubt a lot of countries will use it as an excuse but you won't hear the winner moan at all about it.Im soo looking forward to it. A big summer of sport, a few beers while watching the world cup. The hype, i love it lol. England being in it is a good thing. The TV coverage will be much better.

bluenose_72 198 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 We can judge the state of the pitches once the tournament starts but what I am looking at now is the countries and players that will be on show.This will be one of the most star studded World Cups there has ever been. From Messi to Ronaldo, Drogba to Eto'o, Rooney to Kaka. Not to mention the amount of young and fairly unknown players that will be on show that we'll have to keep our eye on. IMO, this has the potential to be a great World Cup. Spain may be favourites but there at least 5 or 6 teams who have a genuine chance of winning it. No European team has ever won a World Cup outside of Europe....will that change this year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to go full-homo and get a big wallchart to put up on the wall with blu-tac.

GreigRFC 36 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The one thing I hate about watching African football is those bloody horns they blow for the entire game, and I'm sure the World Cup will be no different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,435 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 tbh i only really watch games that we are involved with, i dont mind the CL if its on tv, but i wouldnt go out my way 2 see it, the WC is no different, i might watch a few games when it gets to the semi/quarter finals, before that i couldnt give a fuck, on the question though, yes it will be a let down, south africa = Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm just worried about the lack of fans.The football won't be that poor, will it?Athletes shouldn't use altitude and climate as an excuse...I know i read the other day that they were really struggling to sell tickets That is fucking ridiculous. It's a world cup! I'd kill to watch a few matches in the flesh. if only it wasn't so far away, that's the problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 3,863 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Germany and South Korea/Japan were complete let downs!2002 was a farce in terms of the refereeing, with many officials just gifting decisions to the hosts!2006 started well, first game was awesome (Germany game, Lahm scored that scorcher). But after the group stages it was pretty poor, only the Mexico Argentina game, the France Brazil and final were that great! Too many teams with old squads and the football really suffered as a result. I think this will be one the best world cups ever! Mexico usually produced the best world cups, and I think the culture shock of SA will give us another classic finals! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR_54 15 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Im just worried the atmosphere will be shit. Cause there ain't gonna be near as many folk travelling to SA as did to Germany... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
