Still Feeling It

Losing sucks!!! Whether its a loved one or a soccer match but I'm still feeling it, the feeling most definitely has'nt left me yet. Mzansi hosting the FIFA 2010 World Cup is bigger than Bafana-Bafana or the African teams losing (though I'd love it of we won).
Seeing all those international fans still makes my heart tick, and reminds me that those LOC guys, did a great job at organising everything and it also makes feel better about all the taxes I pay... lol
I'm a soccer fan and having a daily dose of the best live soccer is just a dream.
Our team takes the field today, let's give them all the support we have...and pray they make to the next stage.

We are the Rainbow Nation

I've always loved the colourful Ndebele blanket... but seeing the African mamas dancing in them, doing their twirls at FIFA 2010 World Cup Opening Ceremony escalated my love for the blanket to a higher level. It was such a beautiful sight... one that will probably last a lifetime in my memory. I think that's what I will get myself as a FIFA 2010 souvenir.

Happy World Cup Everybody!!!

I've been waiting for this day since for ever ...I used the World Cup as an excuse to all my friends when I left Malaysia ...I'd say "See you again in South Africa at the World Cup", well the day has finally arrived. I wont be seeing my friends but I'm happy that the day is here.
I enjoyed watching the FIFA Kick-off Celebrations, the music and atmosphere was just off the hook ...Tutu's speech was gave me the goose bumps, to see such an old man - becoming child-like, intoxicated by happy-ness ...I've never been so proud of my country. Can't wait for the opening ceremony and the rest of the month.

Blow your VUVUZELA

I had so much fun yesterday at noon. It was just a sign of the fun that's gonna come for the rest of the month...I've been waiting for this moment for sometime...

Feel it, It is here.

I saw this very patriotic house yesterday, while I was on my way to KZN. It was soccer fever at its best. I also loved the creative and colourful designs which were painted on the other houses of this humble homestead. The scenery evoked emotions in me...

FFF - Friday Football Fever

I took this photo at the opening match of the Confed Cup last year... it was one of my most proudest moments ever. It'll stay in my memory for a very long time.
If you didn't manage to get tickets for the World Cup, you can enjoy the spirit that will come with the beautiful game... by going to any of the Official FIFA Fan Parks around the country. Go on show your support.
