Business as usual!
Never mind all the social concerns voiced about the wisdom of this World Cup. Now the games are on so that all attention is on the results. That might change if someone important is robbed or attacked but otherwise it's just time for the "circuses" part of that old success formula for keeping the poor happy, "bread and circuses."
In a few weeks the shouting will die down, the closing ceremony will have been held, the happy new World Cup holders will be jetting off homewards, to Pyongyang one hopes, and that will just about be that. If South Africa has a bit more debt to contend with, should that make things all that much worse, when there's not much hope for betterment under the ANC anyway?
You might want to look at it as a German does, when Schadenfreude (happiness over the misfortune of another) is a big thing with them. We now have the idiot mooing of the vuvuzela as a part of our sonic German landscape so that we can share a tiny part of your WC pain. Sat there in the garden enjoying birdsong there comes a "Blooo-arp!" to be answered by another and then a third one joins in. This is auditory graffiti!
