I am not the greatest soccer fan on earth, but I am so looking forward to the spectacle – 48 days to go and the excitement really is starting to build. There are still a lot of problems to iron out, but I have never heard of any host country that was fully ready 3 months before the time. As I recall, Germany also had similar problems in the final weeks before kick-off.
There are going to be acts of crime – criminals exist everywhere and South Africa does have more than its fair share of these low lives. Yes, we do have to be realistic but we shouldn’t let these bastards get the better of us.
I am so tired of the pessimist drivel which spews forth from the mouths of some of our pale brothers – oh, this is wrong and so is that …. bla bla bla, and Bafana Bafana will never win – well who the hell cares – no one really expected the Springboks to win before the ’95 Rugby World Cup. I find it so annoying and childish when I hear people who would actually be in their element if it did fail. Well, here’s news for you – it isn’t going to happen.
I heard the new Leon Schuster soccer song on 702 the other day – it’s no Lennon / McCartney composition, but its good fun and free to download – so have a listen and get behind our team.
If you are one of the lucky few who have a ticket, ENJOY and if you can share a ride or hitch a lift to the game, please do ……. AND if you need help with that, go to http://www.eliftclub.co.za .
Good luck South Africa – make us proud!!
