If the situation in Zimbabwe deteriorates further with SA blocking international efforts - will the EU send teams to the cup?

This should be an opportunity to showcase southern africa from a tourism point of view and South Africa's neighbour Zimbabwe should get their house in order Africans should be proud abouttheir abundance of natural beauty the only thing that spoils africa is the POLITICS

A matter of priorities: What does 2010 mean for Zimbabwe? The wellbeing of the Zimbabwean people is far more important than a footballtournement.

To J-hollow, AK-47, Phiri and any other defenders of ZANU-PF/Mugabe:

1) 231 MILLION per cent inflation! 2) 80% unemployment 3) How many zeroes did the RBZ take off the currency 3 months ago? 4) Hospitals and major healthcare infrastructure - closed 5) Schools and Universities closed for lack of plumbing/funding 6) Clean drinking water unavailable to 80% of the population 7) Cholera killing thousands in Zimbabwe 8) Intimidation and closure of the free press 9) Intimidation and suppression of the free right to assemble

This is the Bill of Indictment presented against the outcomes of the policies of ZANU-PF/Muhgabe. How do you plead?

Regardless of the "causes" or any blame you would like to assign to the "Imperialist West", take notice that all 9 (nine) Indicments are FACTUAL representations of the state of affairs in Zimbabwe while under the guidance of ZANU-PF/Mugabe's governance. Again, any excuse or blame you would like to use to defend yourselves is irrelevent, as all of the Indictments are internal matters to the people of Zimbabwe!

How do you defend the actions of ZANU-PF/Mugabe? With tired marxist-liberation slogans of the fight against the Capitalist (bourgeois) West!

You CANNOT defend ZANU-PF/Mugabe with FACTS! For Zimbabwe to have reached it's current depths under the "stewardship" of ZANU-PF/Mugabe since the "liberation" is itself, a crime against humanity.
