This is how Green Point Stadium looked like when I drove by in early August 2008.

Cape Town - I just drove by the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, under construction for the 2010 Soccer World Cup. I wonder if it will be ready in two years. The new structure, which will have a capacity of 68,000, replaces an old stadium. It is strategically located near Cape Town city centre and the Victoria & Albert Waterfront.
All I know about the 2010 World Cup is that Cape Town will be the place to visit and where all the parties and cool action will take place. Too bad the Final won’t be played here. Still, forget about Johannesburg!
