England Might Not Qualify For 2010 World Cup

The loss was so devastating and the Football Association sacked their national team manager, Steve McClaren. Perhaps it was a good move perhaps not, who knows England's loss poses a huge threat to our country's Botswana plans for 2010.

Few weeks after it was announced that South Africa will become the first African country to host the Word Cup, a delegation from the Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism publicly announced their plans to make Botswana a training camp for some teams taking part in the World Cup. The large English support base is clearly seen as a major boost for our country's economy especially for the tourism sector. According to the ministry, this is a great opportunity of selling our country's fauna and flora, something which can help in diversifying our economy. Ever since then it seems like the attention has been on England alone. I personally have never heard other countries being mentioned.
