World Cup 2006 bidding

Germans furious at CBF decision
ZURICH, Switzerland. July 4: German bid leader Franz Beckenbauer angrily hit out here on Tues-
day at tliis week's deal between South Africa and Brazil to give the African nation the 2006 World Cup. reports AFP.
Germany had been neck and neck with the South Africans as the two nations lobbied ahead of Thursday's decisive vote by the FIFA executive committee.
England and Morocco, the two other countries trying to win the biggest prize in football, are considered no hopers.
On Monday Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) president Ricardo Teixeira forecast an easy win for South Africa after announcing his country’ s withdrawal.
"South Africa will win. possibly in the first round," said Teixeira, who can deliver three votes.
"We will vote for South Africa and in return they will support us in 2010," he added.
Beckenbauer described the private deal between the two as "offensive."
This Is horse trading. It's prob able we have lost the bld." added the German football legend.
South African bld chief Danny Jordaan has been wooing Teixeira for months to win South America's support.
He has been aided by Pele who has furiously opposed Brazil's 2006 dreams, insisting the money it would cost would be better spent on the poor.
Former FIFA president Joao Havelange of Brazil has also voiced his opposition for the bid. saying 2006 should go to South Africa and 2010 to Brazil.
Jordaan knows that Monday's deal has almost certainly ensured
the World Cup will go to Africa for the first time in the toiumament's history’.
"Certainly we are very- happy that there is now a single focus between Africa and Europe and not a third continent involved in the contest. Now it is a question of whether FIFA gives Europe 10 World Cups and Africa nothing.' said Jordaan.
But Jordaan stressed that despite the boost from Brazil, the South African campaign would go on right to the end on Thursday when FIFA’s 24-inan executive committee vote on 2006.
South Africa’s 2006 campaign is taking nothing for granted and will continue to press its case until the very’ last moment." he said.
Former South African president Nelson Mandela revealed on Tuesday that he was telephoning two nations to ask for their sup-port on Thursday but he refused to name the countries.
Die 24 man FIFA executive committee, made up of three mem bers from South America, three from North and Central America, four from Asia, eight from Europe, one front Oceania, four from Africa and FIFA President Sepp Blatter, will meet all four candi dates on Wednesday and vote ot the winner on H1 ursday.
