Less than seven days from the tournament, you don't want people trampled in the streets. If you're FIFA, it's in your best interest to prevent that. What is so difficult to understand?Starting11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06424996798459297486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746801991353979435.post-13553628168781480162010-06-07T11:52:11.624-04:002010-06-07T11:52:11.624-04:00This has NOTHING to do with world cup security.

It is not FIFA's job to provide security to friendlies.<br /><br />It's crappy what happened, but should be no reflection of the WC security team nor a reflection of SA's ability to stage the WC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746801991353979435.post-71917467943235377432010-06-06T22:20:53.604-04:002010-06-06T22:20:53.604-04:00That's really cold man, "So what, 14 peop...That's really cold man, "So what, 14 people get injured..." You don't think that a week before the World Cup this is a big deal? You don't think there's been a microscope on South Africa and its security for the tournament? This is a big deal, sorry.Starting11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06424996798459297486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746801991353979435.post-4440832442592030972010-06-06T18:17:44.852-04:002010-06-06T18:17:44.852-04:00You're really blowing this out of proportion. ...You're really blowing this out of proportion. This WAS a friendly and per rules and regulations one of the teams is to provide security, in this case being Nigeria. I would not trust Nigerian security to run the World Cup, but the people that are in charge of World Cup security are COMPLETELY different and highly trained. So what, 14 people get injured in a big crowd over excitement, big deal. This could have happened anywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
