FIFA World Cup in South Africa
South Africa has spent billions of dollars on building stadiums for the World Cup. Some people feel this money would best be spent on other things. What is your opinion?
Sell the stadiums to FIFA and use the money to help families in need. Their houses need to be re-built and they need running hot and cold water. There is a saying that if the rich wage war it is the poor who die and that is what is happening at the moment.The rich need to keep their street cred up and we know that but for once they need to think about others not themselves.

I reckon thats it's pretty stupid that they spent lots of money on stadiums and that they are not going to use them that much unless its the ruby world cup in 2011. I also thought that it was quite sad that they crushed down alot of houses to build a stadium , some of us wanted to know why they spent billions of dollars just for a few weeks.
I reckon that they had to have really cool stadiums at the world cup but I don't think they should cost that much

I think they should of given some of the money they used on the stadium and give it to the poor or use it to get better homes.

i think that they shouldn't have used so much money on the stadium so they could donate some money to the poor people and upgrade their homes

It's really unfair that they haven't given any money to the poor people
