2010 FIFA World Cup Venues and Theme Song

Whenever the World Cup begins, people in my country are going wild. Even though the Indonesian Soccer team is not qualifying in the 2010 World Cup, many of Indonesians have their own favorite soccer team. This year will be no different; many cafes will set the big plasma TV screen and watch the match together with all the customers.

Many local TV stations have various soccer’s games and quiz. Many soccer souvenirs and anything about soccer games will be sold out. 2010 FIFA World Cup will be so fun and I'm already feeling exciting about that. 2010 FIFA World Cup will be hold in South Africa (ZA) from June 11 to July 11, 2010. Things that attract me so much about the World Cup are the stadiums. There are ten venues that be used across nine South African cities:
