Let The Games Begin - World Cup 2010

 

64 Games

32 Teams

1 Champion

 

Friday June 11, 2010 World Cup 2010 begins.  Hosting the games for the very first time is South Africa.  The games will be played in 10 different venues.

Game 1 will be between South Africa and Mexico and played at Soccer City (Johannesburg), with a capacity for the World Cup of 94,700.  In addition to the opening game all the championship games will be played here, and also it will serve as home base for FIFA officials.

The afternoon will bring Game 2 between Uruguay and France at Cape Town Stadium (Cape Town), with a capacity for the World Cup of 69,070.

World Cup 2010 is expected to be the largest sporting event of all time with over one billion spectators watching the games from all over the world.  See the video the South African fans created for their team Bafana Bafana.

 

How about a quick quiz, what flag belongs to what country... good luck.

Al and Peggy...

I love the World Cup. It's such an International event that brings the world together to watch some great athletes!

Hey Josh, you might be right.  Imagine a final game between Spain & Brazil... Las Vegas will be going crazy. 

We always cheer the underdog... that leaves us 30 teams to choose from.

Wanda - crowd control is going to be a huge job at Soccer City with 94000+ seats.

Nicole & Richard - we agree 100%, an event like this brings everybody to a common level, wouldn't it be nice if we could drag it out for several months rather than the 30 days.

So Canada doesn't have a team entered?  I guess we lose again.  Good luck to Chicago.  Oh, sorry that's not soccer.

But the good news is hockey is over til Sept.  I mean it is June for heaven sakes.

These will be interesting to watch. The US thinks that they will be a contender this year - NOT...

Hi al and Peggy - I would need to pull up a handy dandy flag webpage to figure out most of the flags.

Posted by Marc Swartz, CA, CPA Toronto, Durham & York Regions, Ontario almost 2 years ago

What an awesome job you did on the soccer/football field with all the flags. I love the South Africa song, once you hear it you can't stop singing it :0)

Just like the Olympics, the World Cup is a great event. All the competing countries putting aside any differences and just playing nicely together.

So, who are you rooting for?!!!

I don't know I have a feeling that Germany might just bring the Cup home this time.
