Struck by World Cup questions SA failed to ask

One is this: why did we spend so much time worrying about whether SA was competent to host the World Cup, but not nearly enough worrying about the competence of FIFA, and particularly its sidekick,  Match?

The stadiums are finished and they look beautiful, even if some of them will never be used again. The first leg of the Gautrain is ready to roll. The roads and public transport networks are being speedily completed, even if some of the buses were bought only at the last moment, and with a bit of planning and some decent management the fans will be conveyed to and fro as needed. Last minute some of it may be, but SA will by next week have delivered what it promised, and more.
