Okay, so the Soccer World Cup bug has definitely bitten me. I don’t generally follow much soccer, but wow, what a vibe!
If one steps back and takes a look at what the world experienced not even an hour ago, it’s quite miraculous, actually. An entire nation, across all continents of the world, united in support of Bafana Bafana as they went up against Mexico in the opening match of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. And that first goal… wow!
The game itself was a mix of various emotions. While we didn’t have the majority of possession of the ball, we managed to take what possession we did have and make some real magic out of it… which made the game all the more entertaining. The end result of a 1-1 draw was the result of both sides fighting for that last goal, which was a truly incredible sight to see.
On the whole, I’m just super proud of Bafana Bafana and really proud to be a South African. Feel it, it is here!
