I am warming to South Africa as the venue for the 2010 football World Cup. The recent Confederations Cup played there served up a surprisingly delicious aperitif of sublime skill and fierce competition.
And it was the microcosm of the real thing – one team got robbed by hookers (Egypt), tournament favourites got beaten (Spain), there was a darkhorse in the final (US), the host nation reached the semis, and Brazil won in the end.
All South Africa has to do now is - ban the foghorns. Seriously, the foghorns destroyed the tournament and the cacophony killed the TV experience.
