Former South Africa winger Chester Williams says the 2010 football World Cup has the potential to be much bigger for South Africa than the rugby tournament of 1995 in The Daily Telegraph.
"Listen, hosting the World Cup soccer is a much bigger thing for the country than rugby World Cup," said Williams. "Actually, I'm probably underplaying it to say it's 10 times bigger. Obviously, economically it's bigger, they'll be more people coming here and far more people around the world will be watching us and how we do it. But I think for us in South Africa itself it will mean more. Nineteen ninety-five was all about getting the black majority to accept the white man's game. This is about getting the white man to accept the black man's game."
