Sepp Blatter's wisdom
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

"What I've not not liked so much is the turf, especially in Accra - the grass is too high.

The idea of artificial turf in the World Cup has merit, Sepp's way of explaining why is just odd. theprof2008-02-12 15:35:25

I don't think FIFA should worry about the pitches in South Africa. It doesn't rain much, if at all, during winter in the majority of host cities. Which should make it easier to control grass growth and makes the pitches hard and fast (not too hard, they do play rugby on some of the grounds). Only Cape Town has seasonal rain in winter and where it could get muddy and the pitch cut up if drainage is not up to scratch.
