The World Cup is a week in and we as a South African public has gone from pumping up and telling everyone that would listen that we are fully behind bafana bafana to the customary ‘I told you so’ and jokes about our national team. This is typical of us South Africans and this behaviour needs to stop if we are going to unify as one in our beloved land. The national anthem says ‘Sound the call to come together and united we shall stand’, then why don’t we do just that. The sooner people realise that the World Cup held in South Africa is greater for us than just Bafana Bafana winning a football match the better we will be us a united country.
Reports are flying around the world that four North Korean players have gone missing from their training camp and can’t be located. The fear is that they have defected in an attempt to escape their lives in their absolute ridiculously ruled country. They are not missing as I saw them working in an electronics shop in central Durban. Yesterday on my travels back from up the Northern Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal to Durban I saw the intensely disturbing sight of township dogs lying dead on the side of the road, expect a couple more North Korean players to go missing around dinner time.
There have been so many great moments so far in this FIFA World Cup 2010, Simphiwe Tshabalala’s opening goal of the tournament, Japan achieving their first win outside the asian continent, so on and so on. However none of those compare to, on live national TV former German international that nobody really knows says the following to a question on the French defeat to Mexico ‘ Imagine flying a million miles, paying for your ticket, shouting for your team, then they produce that SHIT’.
It might seem childish and silly of me but i can't help laughing everytime i hear the commentator saying the dutch name Van der Vaart.. Till Next week
