It is only South African law that is the issue as US copyright law does not protect buildings, all of these can be uploaded to enwp as {{FoP-USonly|South Africa}} with no restriction. The file File:The U.S. Plays Ghana in World Cup Match.jpg contains nothing of the stadium and is fine. LGA talkedits 00:59, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, it's very strange to see a US State Department image on COM:DR. I do agree that File:The U.S. Plays Ghana in World Cup Match.jpg is fine, but I am speaking of File:U.S. Plays Ghana in World Cup Match.jpg which shows American and Ghanese players and a small part of the stadium with hardly any architectural features, only a part of the stand completely like any other stand on a multi-use stadium, and File:FIFA World Cup 2010 USA Ghana.jpg which shows a moment of the game with, once again, a part of the stadium in the background without focusing on any architectural features — NickK (talk) 01:29, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I won't oppose any deletion, but just my few 2c here, since I uploaded File:U.S. Plays Ghana in World Cup Match.jpg; it was not meant to illustrate the place, just the match, of course :) --Elitre (talk) 11:30, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some Kept, some deleted: Rationale: Deleted images: No FOP in South Africa. Kept images:No stadium visible or the stadium is de minimis --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 02:32, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
