In the on-going saga that is the World Cup 2010, South Africa finally had some good news about it's stadium and security progress: Sepp Blatter was so happy during his recent trip to view their progress that he claims to have danced.
While good news to South Africa and FIFA, i'm still not sure how convinced i am about it. I would imagine things will remain fairly quiet on the front until next June, when South Africa is set to host the ConFed Cup in advance of the World Cup in 2010. Four host cities will be used for the ConFed Cup, and there will be plenty of FIFA officials on hand to tour the country. You can bet it will be an open audition for South Africa, and unless things go well it will be panic time for FIFA. Keep an eye on this in the coming year...
