Construction Strike Could Affect 2010 World Cup
Construction workers for the stadiums being built for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa have gone on strike. The workers are demanding a pay increase. Venues need to be completed by December.
This is a potentially huge blow for the 2010 World Cup. This is the first World Cup held in Africa. It needs to be good, plain and simple. And if they can't get stadiums done in time, not only will it reflect poorly on Africa, but the World Cup may not be played. Let's face it: Most Americans are casual soccer fans, watching only in the World Cup or Olympics. I'm one of those casual soccer fans. So I look forward to the World Cup, because it's really the only chance I get to watch soccer. If there are no stadiums, I guess the World Cup will be delayed. No one wants that to happen. Let's hope this matter gets resolved, and gets resolved quickly.
