I have to imagine that FIFA will put tremendous pressure on the competing teams to bring their A or A- clubs. This is going to be a worldwide event with high viewership and a wonderful opportunity for South Africa to ascend to the world stage. No need to ruin it with controversy about a lack of quality on the pitch.

Rest assured, the teams who show up in S. Africa in 2009 will be to notch.

Gut feeling...the African teams are going to put on a real crowd pleasng display. I believe that there will be 2 African teams (host- S. Africa and winner or African Nations Cup???)
