In a few days Africa will host, for the first time in history, the FIFA World Cup. For some days the world will be looking at South Africa and the country (and the whole continent),in a way will have the opportunity to show their honest, hard working people and the effort they´ve made constructing and refurbishing stadiums, hotels, creating new means of transport , airports (as the new international one in Durban, King Shaka, check it here), overcoming a major energy crisis, in a few words, giving the best in them for the thousands of people from all over the world who will go to this precious country to support their favourite teams.
For a few days, the world will come to a stand still, we will all have the "illusion" that the whole world can be united under the banner of football. Let´s have the illusion for a while that if the world can be united to support a game, we still have the hope that we can be united for bigger issues...Perhaps the message of hope, peace and love is not so far away...You may call me a dreamer...but I´m not the only one!!!!
With U2´s "Magnificent" as background music, Bono gives us the message of this World Cup, "United" in an ESPN commercial.
