What do you think about the world cup soccer in South Africa?

1 Answer

Answer :

I don’t really have an opinion one way or the other about it being in South Africa. Any country it would be in I would be happy that the world has come together for an athletic event. I like these moments in time, like the olympics, when we feel more united, and that the world is small. I had not heard of any corruption, I hope it isn’t true.
