Previously, cases of theft were making anxious teams and participants. The room of Greece team recently being robed, three of the players lost their money. Soon, the thieves also entered the Uruguayan team room and devour the sum of 12 000 U.S. dollars.

Greece and Uruguay had reported it to the police. However, they apparently did not get a satisfactory answer. In fact, the police in Uruguay even accuse people of stealing his own.

On the Dutch and Danish match at Soccer City Stadium, there are not too many supporters who came. In fact, in the parking lot at the Apartheid Museum, still plenty of room left. In fact, this can be said as a big game. Supporters from abroad have not seen a lot.
