Nobody outside Germany is waiting for another World Cup where the host nation is clearly favoured so much than during the last World Cup! 
In my opinion there were 2 tournaments before that I can recall, where this happened too, being Germany '74 and Argentina '78.
As long as South Africa is successful in getting their stadiums ready in time and make sure the fans can move arround safely, I don't really see a problem. It is the charm of a tournament like this, that it is organized in different countries on different continents.
Also know that Mr. Joseph Blatter is probably the sports official who "invented" corruption. He doesn't really care where it will be held, as long as he can make nice trips and makes a lot of money out of it. The was an English journallist some time a go, who made a perfect documentary about this issue.
