Who attacks dogs with machine guns ?
Don't want to be the harbinger of doom, but the SA police are already putting plans into place for the WC, as they 'expect' fatalities
Slightly O/T, I'm not sure what others think but to me hosting the World Cup in South Africa is just asking for trouble, it's well known that crime is extremely common in Africa and its something you would have thought the panel making the choice as to where it would be hosted may have taken things like this into account, I fully expect multiple deaths which is not something I would ever dream of saying if it were to have been hosted somewhere else.

The US has a far higher murder rate than the UK but I don't see many people questioning their ability to host a decent World Cup or Olympics.
The way I see it is that most people going will have an amazing time. I know loads of people who've lived in or been on holiday to SA and they've all loved it and had no problems. 99% of fans will have a brilliant trip, the other 1% might encounter an issue with crime, as they would in any other country, but which will be highlighted by the media here in a way they never would do if the same incident occurred in Brussels, or Rome, or Moscow.
Let's not forget that plenty of England "fans" have in the past disgraced many a tournament with their own brand of criminality, so maybe we should wait and see what happens in SA before rushing to judge.

This is very sad and also has far wider implications with an impending World Cup in Africa.
