As the 2010 World Cup draws near, we spoke to some pupils from Ogwini High School about their opinions on the World Cup being hosted in their home country. Many pupils believe South Africa have a good chance of going all the way, a few thinking they will win, others being more realistic and aiming for the quarter finals. South Africa have drawn France, Uruguay and Mexico in their group and possibly have a chance of going through to the last 16. Subjects also touched on were the wealth that hosting the World Cup will bring to South Africa, the pupils thinking that this will be good for the South African economy. Another thing found out in the video clips was that many street kids and beggars would be thrown into some sort of home for the duration of the tournament, which is said to be a good idea as the pupils believe that this will make South Africa look a lot cleaner and a nicer place to be.
Spain and Brazil are the bookies favourites to win the tournament with England just behind in the odds to win. The English, feeling fairly confident that they will win, are resting all their hopes on star man Wayne Rooney who is now on 30 goals for this season. But a lot of rumours are surrounding the England players and their personal lives, with John Terry recently being stripped of the captaincy and Wayne Bridge withdrawing himself from possible England selection. Can England pull it together for the World Cup? Will Spain win the competition for the first time in their history? Or will Brazil add to their record of 5 times winning the competition?
