Pedro Depacas6/28/2010 3:19 PM: What a joke !! This is rich coming from a man who insists he will be standing for another term as president , and has the audaciousness to voice his concerns involving the possible costs for implementing video technology ??? The man is surely going senile , $ 1 BILLION in spare change and uses this as another excuse not to implement technology to save the beautiful game ??I wonder what his salary might be? , this alone i'm sure would foot the bill for the so deperately needed technology .Blatter your time is up ...GET OUT !!! You are a disgrace to the football world and you have blatantly ripped off Africa .now move you despicable excuse for a human being and take your so called executive with you , you have done enough damage .!! Voetsek !!!

Andre K6/11/2010 10:26 PM: Come on guys, it is 80 million dollars, thats a substantial amount. Just stop critisizing and enjoy the ride

Collitjies6/11/2010 9:48 AM: So the billions paid for new stadia is already showing a profit. By the way in whose pocket ?

Socrates6/11/2010 9:11 AM: Gross profit = volume + margin Net profit = Gross Profit - expenses Which profit are we talking about? Thats the question!!

Seabass6/11/2010 9:09 AM: Thats about how much the RAF has to pay that person for his injuries. To one person............ CRAZY!!!!

Ben6/11/2010 8:47 AM: bloody agents.

Linda6/10/2010 11:55 PM: Great game

RB6/10/2010 9:38 PM: That is a $80M profit for the Local Organising Committee (meant to come from ticket sales), not the profit for the SWC as a whole.

@HH6/10/2010 9:17 PM: By PROFIT i assume its after costs no?

Bin Ladin6/10/2010 9:16 PM: dont joke bleddie blaata

dereksmethurst6/10/2010 8:51 PM: FIFA will earn a minimum of 3.5 billion - SA get 80 million - out with Blatter as President - the next time all you African nations get ready to vote for who the President of FIFA will be - remember this

Selan6/10/2010 8:37 PM: Suck it up SA. We asked for it!

SpongebobSquarepants6/10/2010 8:33 PM: Absolutely disgraceful, they should donate another $80million for the development of three bedroomed RDP houses.

Mugaybee6/10/2010 8:25 PM: Whose pockets will that money be in? Totally wrong government spending priorities. Just as Greece is now paying the price for hosting the Olympic games, so will SA suffer a massive hangover. Expect more civil unrest.

Jane6/10/2010 8:21 PM: Blatter should hang his head in shame. After depriving small businesses and traders of the right to profift from this event due to the ridiculous FIFA regulations - I think $800m. would be more appropriate after the billions FIFA will make. Shame, Fifa, Shame. After investing $7 billion - SA gets a 1% return?

HH6/10/2010 8:03 PM: $80 million! What an insult. We spent BILLIONS of tax payer money building stadiums.
