Why is everyone looking forward to the 2010 summer
It has been said that this summer is going to be a great one for all Europe. All though that sounds as good news for the north European countries where their 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. Without any doubt that is not only a major sports event but also a social one, as it has a tremendous impact to so many people around the globe.
This is another reason that raises even higher the expectations of the forthcoming summer. It is going to be the first World Cup taking place in Africa and many sports and non-sports related people are expecting it with great anticipation. Who doesn’t really like the combination of a hot summer with a lot of football and social gatherings?. After that harsh and long cold winter all Europeans that were affected by recession are really hoping for a great summer.
The most typical summer scene the majority of the people have in their mind is about being with the best friends or family all around the TV set being completely absorbed by the football crowd’s noise coming out of those portable speakers. Kids will be running around playing with their summer toys, say a rc helicopter,while the grown ups will be pouring beer out of a beer dispenser. And for those who do not enjoy watching sports on television, there is a place by the barbecue.
Therefore we just need to wait until we find out whether the scientists are right in their forecasts or not. Until then let’s keep our fingers crossed!
