I met an amigo from Mexico that was with his amigo from Chile. Great fans!!! It is quite amazing how all the soccer fans get along and speak the same language when it comes to soccer. I can’t tell you what a fantastic time it is to be with so many people that speak the same language of “football”!!!
I met some crazy fans from Honduras. One pic is with Julieta and her husband. They live in Houston, Texas. Her husband is Honduran and was interviewed by Honduras TV prior to the game. GO figure! Anyone that paints there face like that deserves an interview. The other pic is with some crazy Honduran fans.
Outside of the stadium, I permanently left my mark on the 2010 South African World Cup by signing one of the soccer balls. I also signed for my good Chilean friend, Ernesto Zamorano. Ernesto was kind enough to let me borrow his Inter Milan shirt that was a replica shirt of Chilean superstar, Ivan Zamorano’s shirt. He was more commonly known as Ivan El Terrible!
Here in South Africa, many workers were awarded tickets to matches so they could participate in the games that the country has worked so hard to prepare for. The country has done a wonderful job with infrastructure and roads. Not to mention the people here are so damn excited for the games they won’t stop blowing their Vuvuzelas! Much of the stadium could be seen wearing Bafana Bafana Gold! Here the crowd could be heard singing a very popular African song, Shosholoza.
- Shosholoza
- Ku lezontaba
- Stimela siphum' eSouth Africa
- Wen' uyabaleka
- Wen' uyabaleka
- Ku lezontaba
- Stimela siphum' eSouth Africa
A rough translation:
- Move fast
- on those mountains
- train from South Africa.
- You are running away
- on those mountains
- train from South Africa.
Here are the Pics from the game. Chile won 1-0.
Kyle, my friend, you look very good in that Milan jersey. Wow, Chile has 6 points. I didn't expect them to go that far. They do have a famous argentinian coach now, they play a more agressive soccer. Nice blog, Willa and I are really enjoying your pro blog. We feel we are there with you, be safe, EZ
