The plain truth is this: most South Africans want the World Cup to go on forever. They want to see the flags festooning every building, hear the noise of someone's random vuvuzela blurting into their conversations every day and see foreign visitors who had such awful perceptions about this place taking so much pleasure from it. They won't mind the traffic jams as team buses or delegations of officials go past, they won't mind the endless queuing to shuffle into stadiums, they won't even mind if it has to remain winter until the end of time, as long as the World Cup stays.
