If the dodgy decisions and vuvuzelas don't get to you, the thin air and Jabulani certainly will.
In years to come, if the 2010 Fifa World Cup isn't remembered with any particular fondness, much of the blame will be placed squarely on the self-conscious shoulders of the sport's governing body.
Seriously guys, what were you thinking?
For a start, you stage the most watched sporting event of all time with a bunch of mostly mediocre referees - with a rather too obvious tendency to favour first-world football nations at the expense of emerging (including AFC) teams - and then you don't give them the benefit of TV technology.
What are we more likely to remember: four goals from Slovakia's Robert Vittek, Yasuhito Endo's fantastic free kick to dazzle the Danes or the almost criminal disallowing of Frank Lampard's fair strike for England against Germany?
But far worse was Fifa's decision to introduce a synthetic abomination otherwise known as the adidas Jabulani ball at a tournament where seven of the 10 stadiums are at high altitude. Controlling this shocking sphere at venues like Johannesburg's '(1,753 metres) has proved to be about as easy as tap-dancing on the moon.
