Morocco should get it!!!
S. Africa were robbed from the '06, but remember that Morocco were robbed from the '94 one.
IN conclusion: MOROCCO!!! (I'm I spelling it right?)

You can't give it to Morocco. They have a serious problem with terrorism at the moment.

Well, S.A. isn't exactly the safest country in the world either. Any of the candidate countries would have security problems. Heck, any country...
I think that it''ll become either Egypt or Morocco, with the argument that it'd not only be an african WC, but an arab as well.

The recent bombings in Spain are directly linked to terrorist groups in Morocco. There have also been several terrorist attacks within the country. I am not saying S.A. is the safest country in the world, just that it is much safer than Morocco, especially with regard to the major security threat to the world at the moment Islamic fundamentalist terrorism.Shabbaman said:
By the way it's official, South Africa have been given the 2010 World Cup.

South Africa will host the 2010 World Cup finals. SA beat Morocco 14-10 in the final vote.

Haha, yeah the got penalized (6 pts?) for their 1 piece unis. Blatter trotted out the official rules of the game, citing the need for shorts + T-shirt, blah blah. What it came down to is FIFA didn't like them, warned Cameroon three(?) times over a year and a half period and Cameroon never listened.
I just thought they were funny looking.
And congrats to S.Africa. Time to get your country in order.
PS- I'm secretly hoping they won't be able to handle it and the WC will slide to US, Mexico, Australia last minute ala Columbia '86.

Good luck South Africa.
@Zamphyr: Why are one-piece uniforms against the rules?

Let's see who've got the World Cup recently :
1990 : Italy (6th largest economy in the World)
1994 : USA (1st largest economy in the world)
1998 : France (5th largest economy in the world)
2002 : Japan (2nd largest economy in the world)
2006 : Germany (3rd largest economy in the world)
That's weird ! Normally the UK should have got the World Cup for 2010, they are missing !!
EDIT : My point wasn't to say that money leads the FIFA, but... well yes that was my point.

Let's hope South Africa bucked the trend, because according to this source, we've got the 8 largest economy in the world, and frankly, a World Cup in Canada would be a disaster... so Go South Africa!

Laws of the Game - Law 4
The basic compulsory equipment of a player is :
a jersey or shirt
shorts - if thermal undershorts are worn, they must be the same color as the main shorts
stockings
shinguards
footwear
To be honest, I'm a dumb American and don't know of a historic reason, but all sports have their quirky uniform rules (see baseball & sock regulations). Leagues like having standard uniforms. I can't imagine the NBA would let the Bulls wear Nike one piece body suits as regular uniforms.....
