With the start of the Quarter Final matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ on Friday, the Chief Executive Officer of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South Africa, Dr Danny Jordaan, looks ahead to the final stretch.
Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger is back at the FIFA World Cup™ for a third time. He has been seen on TV as an enthusiastic football fan at the Round of 16 games featuring USA and Ghana, as well as his beloved England playing against Germany.
One of the curiosities of this FIFA World Cup™ has been the success of the South American teams. The sight of Argentina and Brazil in the latter stages is no novelty but South American football has made history in South Africa with four of the continent's teams advancing to the quarter-finals.
Standing majestically at the entrance to the Johannesburg square that now bears his name is a towering statue of Nelson Mandela. The colossal bronze monument, six metres high and weighing 2.5 tonnes, is a symbol of South Africa's new-found optimism and has become the focal point for FIFA World Cup™ celebrations – and commiserations.

Making for quite the interestingly questionable depictions, US artist Dan Lacey has been busily creating a collection of nearly 70 Michael Jackson tribute paintings in the year since the singer's death.

Enjoying his wealth to the fullest after having been through his share of struggles, The Dream credits his solid cash flow with easing the struggles of fatherhood.

Making her way out east, Kim Kardashian was spotted arriving into JFK Airport in New York City on Wednesday (June 30).
