Fully agree. The bloke's hit the nail on the head. Especially with this World Cup. I'm all for taking the tournament to all the continents but it's clear to see that South Africa isn't ready for this World Cup. The travel infrastructure is apparently very poor and the tickets seem to be too expensive for the locals. Is it Rustenburg that is a massive stadium in a village? I'm sure there's one in the tournament.
The whole point of taking this tournament to these places is to give the locals a chance to watch top class football in their own town while building to improve the future like the 2012 Olympics will hopefully do. With South Africa all that's going to be left is a series of overpriced stadiums that will very rarely be full.
