Where to Watch the World Cup in London?
One thing that you wouldn’t want between June 11th to 11th of July is a broken aerial or satellie dish.
2010’s highly anticipated FIFA World Cup is now only a foot away. 32 Countries will battle it out within the confines of 10 stadiums between Polokwane and Cape Town. The remarkable Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth Stadium (one of five newly built) along the shores of North End Lake is testament to South Africa’s continuing dedication as it prepares to host one of the greatest shows on earth!
