The FIFA World Cup 2010 to take place in South Africa between June 11 and July 11 is the biggest event in the world sporting calendar. And all eyes are on it.

All tickets were sold out with no room left even to stand. Another heartening fact was that the audience couldn’t stop laughing all through the 86 minutes of the film.
