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.

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!

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.

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.
