16. 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.
