soccer world cup Africa 2010

First time in a history soccer world cup is gonna be in South Africa.The best teams from all over the world will play for the title.South Africa is a beautiful country no doubt about that.Personally I would love to go there and see in action all the best teams on the world.Americans are qualifying regularly to the world cup tournaments in last two decades.They are getting better and better and they are hoping for their first big succes at this stage of game..Africa is known as very dangerous place on this planet.Killings ,robberies and rapes are nothing new there.Organization of such big tournament costs a lots of money and security has to be a priority.Some of the teams are hirring private security teams for their own protection.Why is FIFA putting all these teams in this dangerous possition?
