The last of the World Cup places available to European teams have now been filled with Slovenia, France, Greece and Portugal grabbing the last available slots. Supporters of these countries can now look forward to the World cup draw which takes place on December 4th.

The Irish team can certainly feel aggrieved after the handball incident which eliminated them from the competition. There was also much controversy over FIFA’s decision to seed the qualifier draw. Here at car hire South Africa we have decided to put our support behind Slovenia as they were the only unseeded team to manage to overturn the odds in the playoffs by beating Russia and upsetting FIFA’s finely tuned plans.

Even if your country has not qualified, the World Cup is still an amazing spectacle which must be experienced by anyone who loves the beautiful game. Once the group draw takes places there will be a huge scramble for tickets, accommodation, flights and car hire.

Keep you eye on the ball (nice pun there ;-) ) and get ready to book as soon as details are available.
