Sir Geoff Hurst on Englands chances; “Rooney is the one player that England cannot afford to be without, Wayne, with the season he has had for Manchester United and England, needs to be playing. Apart from Rooney, you can’t afford to lose a Steven Gerrard or a Frank Lampard. If we don’t, we have got a chance.”

According to South African news paper, the Daily Voice, the opening game and world cup final should not be held in Joburg at the newly built Soccer City but at the Cape Town Stadium. “With just 43 days to go before South Africa take on Mexico in the opening game on June 11, contractors at Soccer City are still working feverishly to complete it before they hand it over to Fifa on May 20. During a tour of the Soweto stadium last week, construction workers were still busy putting up fencing, painting walls and working on air-conditioning.”
