Beckenbauer and Blatter worried about 2010

World Cup 2006 organising committee president Franz Beckenbauer said on Tuesday that organisers of the next tournament in South Africa in 2010 are facing serious problems.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter too has been expressing concern .
Then there have been these rumours that Australia may do some stepping in if South Africa are not up to the job .
Blatter said "For the moment they have plans, money, and decisions, but I have yet to see the pickaxes and spades needed to start the work."
The latest? They are sending in a german official -Horst Schmidt, general-secretary of the German soccer federation to keep an eye on things.
