it is a wide-spread rumour in the media that the 2010 summer will be a great one. All though that sounds as good news for the north European countries where tjeir populations complain of cold weather and lots of rain, reality for the Southern European countries is totally different as the temperature can rise well enough above 40 Celsius centigrades. Another thing to bear in mind about this summer is that during World Cup summers people tend to enjoy more staying at home and they travel less. It is, without any doubt, a very big social event and not just a sport one, considering the huge amount of people that will be following it.
This is another reason that raises even higher the expectations of the forthcoming summer. Football and non football fans around the globe are all, to a greater or lesser degree anticipating the 1st ever world cup to be hosted by an African country. So, the combination of a really warm summer without much rain and lots of sport activity is enough to bring great excitement. After that harsh and long cold winter all Europeans that were affected by recession are really hoping for a great summer.
A typical summer scene would include lots of friends taking their places around the TV in the garden, being absorbed by the commentator’s voice that will be coming out of those. Kids will be running around playing with their summer toys, say a radio controlled helicopter,while the grown ups will be pouring beer out of a beer dispenser. And if there are some people around that do not enjoy watching football that much, you should expect some great barbecue too.
Hopefully for many, there’s no room for mistakes in the scientist’s forecasts for the summer. Until then let’s keep our fingers crossed!
