But now the crap can end; the speculation, debate and rhetoric is no longer required. We'll stop debating the squad selections, mourning the injured players, lamenting those who weren't selected or did not qualify. Now the actual football can begin!
It was little more than a year ago that I first visited South Africa, and anyone landing in Cape Town last summer could have been forgiven for thinking they had arrived at a disused suburban railway station, rather than an International airport. The place didn't look nearly ready to host a World Cup - unfinished stadia, unfinished roads, poor telecommunications and public transport. But no so now. Now South Africa is ready.
And so am I!
