Translation: Every football fan will tell you that "football seat ratio is just a game". I believe they are right and this year's World Cup is why people watch it. Football brings us together, who we are, and often turns enemies into friends. When people think of Africa, they think of its problems. But taking place in South Africa for the first time on the continent, the World Cup shows that African football fans around the world are seeing more than just another side of their favorite players in South Africa's branded new stadiums: South African culture, love and hospitality will also be on show. South African President Jacob Zuma knows how the World Cup is for his country; "It will forever change the world's perception of South Africa - it is in our hands to make this the best World Cup ever," he said. History teaches us that football can also heal wounds and contribute to world peace. In 1998, the United States played Iran at the World Cup in France. Despite the vast cultural differences between the two countries, they met on the football field of friendship. This year, all the World Cup hopefuls went to thirty-two countries to do the same thing. Everyone enjoys a festival of football and friendship in South Africa this summer. If you have ever gone to see the South African Pavilion at the Expo, you will have the unique experience of watching a game at the same time.
