South Africa 2010 Football World Cup Development- Sepp Blatter is Impressed

According to the President of FIFA, Sepp Blatter approximately 75 percent of the work has been done for the South Africa 2010

Soccer World Cup Tickets.

In Johannesburg, the president of FIFA has addressed a press conference and reflected his opinions regarding the Confederations Cup. He appreciated the organizers and also remarked that a few more things needed to be done.

The FIFA President also made statement, “I can say that the rehearsal from the FIFA point of view has been satisfactory. We are on the very positive side when we go to do an assessment. One of the items that specifically has always been put into question was that of security.
The organising committee, with Danny Jordaan as chief executive, have done a very good job. The hospitality has been remarkable. We know that some of the logistical things, like transport and accommodation, will have to be worked on. But compliments to the organisers. Accessing the work that has been done on a scale of 1-10, I would say that you are at 7.5. This is before the beginning of the next activity, which is the draw. If you pass that, then it could be eight and at the end of the World Cup, you could be at 10. This is my assessment.”

The enthralling on the field experience has been enjoyed by Blatter completely and Brazil has grabbed the match over United States by 3-2 win. The president further added, “Over the 16 matches, we’ve seen good football. The tournament has produced very attractive football, passionate football, football with results that have not been expected and games that reached the final moments before being decided. This is one of the most important things.”

Blatter also made encouraging remarks regarding Bafana Bafana, “They have improved from the first match to the last match. Again yesterday, they not only created problems, but almost brought down the European champions. Also remember what they did in the semi-final against Brazil when they lost in the last minute. So we look forward to them getting even better.”

Jordaan is also happy with the brilliant performance of Africa, as he stated, “It was after the fans celebrated in the stadium following the closing ceremony when we had a smile on our face. I think this event has brought and produced the most diverse audience in any sporting event in this country, and this is a huge contribution that this Confederations Cup has made.”
