There is a general agreement that the government break even on its capital investment. The president, Jacob Zuma said, a recent conference in Cape Town that the government is convinced that the 2010 has a success, with a good return on the investment of R33 billion in economic output for the transport infrastructure, telecommunications and stadiums. This had created an estimated 66 000 new construction jobs and ZAR1.3 billion spent on safety and security included the permanent addition of 40 000 new police officers. South Africa's finance minister confirmed that the> World Economy Add ZAR 38 billion of their country.

While many argue that the funds could be priorities were social better spent on housing or a number of others, there are very good reasons for the tourism industry Cup World are satisfied with the results of the change due to perceptions of South Africa, the rest of the world. It has amazement and admiration for the ability of the country has been host to such a successful internationalTournament, and it has moved nations in the perception of the world next to the shed developed its stereotypical image as a backward country.

The Internet, blogs and social media are full of positive comments from those who have visited South Africa during this tournament. The positive publicity has been massive, and it is now as a safe, friendly and positive place to visit and to do business noticed. The real benefit of hosting the World Cup 2010The production by South Africa in the world, tourism its will to grow the.

"South Africa has branded Cup in this world in a very special way.Many people do not think you can draw from. South Africa is an opportunity to learn from one that can set standards for the world. "

South Africa has a lot to positive its stock has more than exceeded most of the rest of the world, and the currency a year has appreciated about 30% in the past due to the massive influx of foreign investment capital in search of superior returns and interest rates when world compared to the the rest. The countrynow has a picture of a warm, stable and peaceful society, and is also one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The many positive comments from people who had to be surprised that South Africa is not filled with crime, in contrast to the negative image that previously shown, will help to change many perceptions. South African Tourism is to ensure an excellent job reporting on the major international TV networks during the tournament, when the interest of the country was at an all time high. A well-known Web-based hotel booking portal, has information that shows that Cape Town prices released the 9th, the most popular destination in 2010 for their customers.

Danny Jordaan, CEO of the Football World Cup 2010 Organising Committee says: "They said we would not build the stadium in time: we have said. They said we could, the infrastructure does not provide, in the had time, we, from the front. we could not the TV broadcast capability, the rest of the> World did. We "There were stories of crime and terrorism, and even an outbreak of giant snakes, said he has pointed. There was even a rumor that a major earthquake would hit opening that night. All this anxiety in mongering aimed Africa was to host naive to . the games South is a fact that South Africa the World Cup is a great success among the best run in history - perhaps the most profitable for the FIFA ever. "and

Tourism brings in about 4% of the South AfricanTotal GDP and is a major employer for a country with a lot of semi-skilled workers. lead the growth of tourism growth in job creation, as shown released in the new tourism strategy through its Minister of Tourism, which the creation of up to 225,000 new direct jobs and 400,000 indirect jobs in tourism and the promotion of Tourism's direct contribution to GDP target of ZAR R64bn and 3.4% in 2009 to ZAR R125bn 2015th

The official statistics about visitors to show for the timean increase in the number of tourists from the most traditional markets for South African tourism, but there are new markets develop as a result of reporting on the world championship, like the U.S., the composition appears to have South to discover Africa as it is the largest number of visitors from all countries. The country should take advantage of this massive Cup and prosperous market as a result of favorable world image portrays the country during the. TheTournament a success for South Africa was, but the main advantage is not the immediate economic benefits, but the current growth in tourism, such as Germany, a growth of 30% in tourist numbers to learn after they hosted the 2006 World Cup tournament, and this spread economic benefit, a large portion of her.

Sunday night brings five times winners Brazil back on the football field. They will face the Ivory Coast at 19:30. Paraguay will play 12:30 Slovakia and the other match in Group F 15:00 see the world champions Italy face New Zealand in

The early kick at 12:30 clock shows left Paraguay and Slovakia. With Roque Santa Cruz in Paraguay, the line-up will ensure the knock-out stages of progress. Although Slovakia has played well in their world cupQualification I think it is for them to make the last sixteen hard. I predict a 0-0 draw as both teams will look to take something from their game.

The 3-Clock Kick-off is the current world football champions play their second game of the tournament against the team from Down Under. 4 years ago they played another team from Down Under. The Australians came within 1 minute, the Italians a penalty kick. With a goal from the leftback, the Italians went on to win the world championship time for the 4th. Somehow I do not think that New Zealand are in the same league as Australia. Do not have a world-famous players and so I predict a simple 3-0 win Auzzari one to the.

Five-time world champion Brazil maintained Ivory Coast. As one of the strongest African nations at the World Cup, Ivory Coast with their star striker Drogba is the Dider represent a major threat to Braziltheir qualifying group. I predict a great game open ends in a 3-2 victory to Brazil. Somehow it's always the big teams, assert themselves.

Well, you can not ask for a better opportunity to impress the coach, when. The Manchester United striker Michael Owen had a similar chance the other night against WolfsburgManchester United Champions League. And although the best chance to impress the coach was Michael Owen had a disastrous time in the field. He was seen limping to the ground before Fabio Capello, the English national team coach. This happened when Owen was on the field for only 20 minutes.

Manchester United manager Alex Fergusan accused the wet surface for Owens injury. He also revealed that Michael Owen had a slight groin strain after training for the lossesUEFA Champions League on Sunday. He pointed out that although these things happen to football players and he was not cared much about the injury would still Owen in for two to three weeks. He will therefore miss Manchester United English Premier League fixtures against Bolton and Sunderland.

The most worrying part of all this is that Owen will be able Owen episode, Belarus take part in England's World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and. Many fearThis means that Owen may not be a part of Capello's summer plans in the World Cup in South Africa on for.

This is not only frustrating for Michael Owen, but also for his fans who thought the striker would be his old flair after arriving at Manchester United Old Trafford stadium to find. The future does not look good good for Michael Owen. The most frustrating part of all is that Michael can only wait and see how his fate is decided.

The 2010 World Cup is still some time off, qualifying campaigns have not yet started, but now as good as any one time to get the ball rolling and start predicting the eventual winner in South Africa?

For the first time ever, the world's leading sports event will be hosted on the African continent. This will bring a different culture to the forefront of everyone's consciousness, although the tournament itself will take in Africa's richest economy.

IsIs there a home advantage? Does this mean that the emerging countries of Africa better in recent World Cups have been fair as tipped by size, but always seemed to fall short? Or will one of the usual Gang of Five Nations Trophy, that the lifts be back? Among the usual suspects, there will be no surprise to see, in Brazil or Argentina - the giants of South American football.

From Europe, we need look no further than the current champions Italy, the perennial tournamentExperts Germany, and the flair of France. Or do we want? Will England finally rid of too press it crashing? And under the guidance of Italian Fabio Capello, it will finally reach their dream land after 44 years, which is the sole World Cup success? Can Underachiever Spain fellow come together and once they meet a concerted usually the talent bring to every World Cup?

Following these teams there is also aNumber of possible winners. If given a run of luck which require each country during the tournament dark horse Croatia are always technically gifted. Sweden, Norway and Russia firmly. Holland is full of talent. Greece and Turkey have come a long way, respectively. In truth, it is difficult to assess the result, but my head still says to me, it is one of the usual five. My heart on the other hand, hopes it will be England.
