I am glad that South Africa is hosting the 2010 World Cup.  But I take it with a grain of salt.  I think FIFA wants an African host, but doesn't have the confidence in most African nations to be capable of hosting such a large international event.  It is unfortunate because of all the great soccer nations in Africa, South Africa is not on the top of my list.

World Cup is the name of the 'event', FIFA is who organizes it (F?International Football Association).\nCities can have teams with players from all over the world, but for the World Cup, each player plays for their own country (i.e. Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid of Spain, but on the World Cup he plays for Brazil) - the different soccer clubs have nothing to do with the Wcup. \nClassification starts like LONG time before and they'll play for classification and finally the best teams get sorted randomly to play with each other in different groups

Hey! I'm South-African and cutie77, just to set you straight, we're most definitely not a "violent" country. We are huge soccer fans... And everyone is really looking forward to hosting the world cup. Admittedly there are a lot of things that need to be done within the country, and you might consider "Africans" to be violent, and judge us because we're a third world country, but let me tell you this: When we decide to do something, we do it with passion and pride. Give us some respect and a chance to prove the critics out there wrong.

Hello,\nI presume you are talking about the football worlcup\nIt started in 1930 In Uruguay, why? well the FIFA (the organisation in charge of the football competiton around the world) wanted at the begining leave the world cup into the olympics game (1908) but after the great world war, the FIFA and his president Jules Rimet changed their mind and decided to creat the World cup, they took the decision in 1928. The first edition had 13 teams (countries) vs 32 today.\n\nWell it's brief and i hope it will help you to start, if you need more info on the organisation or the cup your best try will be www.fifa.com

It is unlikely that any of these teams will advance out of the first round.  It is unfortunate, because I love the passion, creativity, and energy they bring to the game.  African soccer continues to progress, and they will have a better chance in the future.

The economic reforms sweeping through Asia for the two decades will ultimately reach Africa in the next two to five decades.  And hence by the end of this century, I expect some part of the Africa to become a first world country.\n\nIn marathon's African's have proven that they are best.  Now in the 2006 football world cup, they came in as under dogs and caught the imagination of the world.  By the end of next decade I expect some of the African nations to be best in the football.  This will change the face of Africa and that will be the starting point.\n\nGood luck.

Early World Cups were given to countries at meetings of FIFA's congress. The choice of location was highly controversial, given the three week boat journey between South America and Europe, the two centres of strength in football. The decision to hold the first cup in Uruguay, for example, led to only four European nations competing.[15] The next two world cups were both held in Europe. The decision to hold the second of these, the 1938 FIFA World Cup, in France was controversial, as the American countries had been led to understand that the World Cup would rotate between the two continents. Both Argentina and Uruguay thus boycotted the tournament.[16]\n\nAfter the 1958 FIFA World Cup, to avoid any future boycotts or controversy, FIFA began a pattern of alternation between the Americas and Europe, which continued until the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The 2002 FIFA World Cup (hosted jointly by Japan and Korea) was the first one held in Asia, and in 2010, South Africa will become the first African nation to host the World Cup. (South Africa will not be the first Southern Hemisphere nation to host the Cup, as former hosts Uruguay, Brazil, Chile and Argentina all lie south of the Equator.)\n\nThe 2014 FIFA World Cup was allocated to South America in 2003, allowing the ten member nations of CONMEBOL to bid in order to host. However, after a short period of time, every nation in the continent backed Brazil as the only viable host of the 2014 finals, creating the odd situation where the 2014 World Cup host was unofficially determined. However, it is not yet certain that Brazil will be able to host the competition; if the Brazilians pull out, the tournament will be moved to another continent.\n\nThe system evolved so that the host country is now chosen in a vote by FIFA's executive committee. This is done under a single transferable vote system. The decision is currently made six years in advance of the tournament.

6 - Togo, Angola, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Ukraine and Trinidad & Tobago.\n\nIt can be argued though that Czech Republic is making their debut appearance, Their last trip to the Worl Cup was in 1990 as Czechoslovakia, in conjuction with Slovakia. In order words, this is the 1st World Cup appearance for the New Republic just like World Cup 1998 was the 1st appearance for Croatia.

There are 32 teams in the World Cup: \n\nAngola, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Cote D'Ivoire, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Iran, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Serbia and Montenegro, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Ukraine, United states of America.\n\nEach team can have a maximum of 23 teams. Usually 3 of those go for goalkeepers, and then 20 to divide among defenders, midfielders, and strikers.

They are not likely to win the World Cup, but they have a strong team. They did very well in the Africa Cup and have a lot of strong players from European leagues. On the other hand they are in a tough group with Argentina, The Netherlands and Serbia/Montenegro. To get through they probably have to beat at least one of those three and draw with another one.

Really Ghana's performance against the Czechs were best ever by an African team in WC . I would love to see them go far. Why not beat Brazil in 2nd round ??? But you know what African teams dont yet have that maturity, dicipline & experience to go all the way. I would love to see Ghana in semis,.

If we are considering the current world cup finalist, I dont see it happening. However, judging by the performance of African players in Europe and other parts of the world, it is likely that one of the countries would probably suprise the world soon. The exposure and experience is really helping develop african football. The major impediment however is the FA in the african countries. They either lack knowledge of what it takes to win a crucial competition or are too greedy and selfish/dont really care if their country perform well or not.
