How South Africa got the world cup is beyond me. A very beautiful country but freaken dangerous. Mark my worls, there will be murders, injuries and lots of theft of those who travel there to see matches.

People don'T complain about them because they spend money. On everything! Travel around Asia and you'll learn there is the locak price, the foreigner price and the Japanese price. The Chinese and Koreans are catching up in that department!
