The trophy
Conclusion• South Africa hosted a very successful soccer
world cup and had many people come visit that had never been there before. All the schools got soccer fever and gave away soccer shirts and 5 weeks of no school. Every body started to love soccer and want to play it all the time. The whole of South Africa had changed and become a soccer fever country. Even the radio stations had a day set in which everyone would blow their vuvuzela’ s at 12:00 to see if the rest of the world could hear us. And every Friday, EVERYONE would wear a soccer shirt.
