So far it has gone pretty well and I hope that it does continue to go well. Yep, only the one report of the hotel burglary and the drunk Australian who passed out and woke up sanse wallet or cell phone but later on someone contaced him to let them know that they found his phone.

Yes, we are in a bad way but a shitload of insfrastsructure was upgraded and all the stadiums were freshly built up for the event so I do think that right now FIFA sort of own the country but the feeling in the air is very festivy and everyone seems to be getting along. I hope it lasts.

JJ bare in mind that the media will broadcast the worst about SA that they can. I'm not saying that it isn't bad but so far the WC seems to be running smoothley. There were a shitload of striking done before the WC but it seems to have been taken care of.

		It's actually going pretty well I think, only the one riot so far that we've heard of and the cops quelled that pretty quickly. No tourists murdered yet that I've heard of. One Network News camera crew had their gear robbed out of their hotel, that was fucking funny because I hate One Network News. TV3 all the way for me.      Becks wrote: Well it looks like the everyday South African is having a wonderful time so far. I just hope it's a peaceful, or as peaceful as can be, world cup. With NZ winning some games LOL!      jimmyjames wrote: South Africa is basically a dictatorship. There is no way in hell that tinpot country with it's ratshit economy put in the best bid for that World Cup. They got the cup through lining the pockets of people like Sepp Blatter with shitloads of cash. It's fully corrupt. For what possible reason would you put the premier sporting event in the world in a country where you can't walk around the streets in the major cities at night. Insane. The Fifa heads are even more corrupt than the IOC heads.         Becks wrote: Saw that on the news, crazy. I think this world cup will end up being crazy in general lol.      jimmyjames wrote: There was a riot after the Aus / Kraut game. The workers at the football stadiums went on strike demanding better wages. So in true South African fashion the cops went in with tear gas, nightsticks and plastic bullets, as you do when your slaves start playing up.

Cheers!

No I missed that, LOL! Well I saw the mistake the goalie made, but didn't see mohawk dude get sent off, sounds amusing.

		Sweet, I'll see what I can do. Did you see that freakshow Algerian side play last night, the keeper, this blonde drag queen looking freak, made a howler of a mistake like the English keeper made. And then this crazy looking mohawk man on their team got sent off. Jeez it was funny.      Becks wrote: Hmm how about More than Meets the Eye - Testament.      jimmyjames wrote: Hey you got any requests, I'm putting together a radio show at the moment?      Becks wrote: Hmm, I could believe that actually. Plus, it wasn't that long ago that they had the Cronulla race riots. Now that was crazy.      jimmyjames wrote: You could easily spend ten days in Sydney or  Melbourne and not see an aboriginie.      Becks wrote: Man, if it really is like that, that's awful.      jimmyjames wrote: They present a forward thinking and politically correct public face but they hate everyone. Abbos, Blacks, Pacific Islanders, Lebanese, Arabs, Asians, Poms, Indians, Americans, Maoris,  just everyone. Honest if you spoke to the average middle class Aussie about racism or something they would say the same as everyone else about how it's disgraceful etc. But if a family of abbos moved into their street they would be seething. They would move, they'd be shitting themselves about the value of their house going down and it probably would because all of them hate everyone and noone would move into the street.      Becks wrote: No, not yet. Strange considering it's like 3 hours away LOL.      jimmyjames wrote: Have you ever been to Aussie?      Becks wrote: Ahhhh I hadn't heard about that. Yeah, not saying this to make Aussies look bad, but they don't have a good history with regards to Aborigines etc.      jimmyjames wrote: He's actually in trouble at the moment too for making racist comments. It cracks me up that because everyone knows that all Aussies are racist.      Becks wrote: Ahhh it's been happening for years, Kiwi players always get hit harder than say Andrew Johns ever would have.      jimmyjames wrote: Just double standards, not worth going into if you don't follow it. Basically certain high profile Australian players getting off on serious disciplinary breaches while lesser known players and Kiwi players are handed out playing bans on less serious charges. It stinks.
