A few weeks ago I got a chance to experience the thrill of watching a Confederation cup game LIVE….and I had a blast! A friend invited me to go watch Banafa Bafana vs Brazil game at Ellis Park during the Confederations Cup 2009 semi finals. I went and got myself a vuvuzela and flag, I couldn’t get a Bafana shirt, or rather afford one.
Even thou South Africa did not win the game (don’t ask me the score) I must say that they played very well. I cheered, I screamed for Booooooooth and Khune, I also learned to ‘operate’ the Vuvuzela (its not easy, believe me!!), I even made a few Brazillian friends!!
I am not a soccer fan, but it is undeniable that soccer is a universal force. It creates an international platform for players, coaches, countries, companies and fans that any other entity can’t create single handily. It stirs unbelievable emotions in men and women alike, it’s exiting and it is the most celebrate sport in South Africa if not the WORLD, and I’m still not a fan? wierd huh?
Woza!! 2010 World CUP Woza!!
