We are on our roadtrip this week to make sure that we take in some soccer worldcup ambiance and spirit and I have to say I am proud to be South African. At the two matches in Bloemfontein and Rustenburg, I have never experienced such goodwill, fun and communal spirit. I have come to the conclusion that it does not really matter who you support as long as you do it with a smile, some facepaint, some beer and of course, your vuvuzela handy.

And I am proud of Bafana! Well done guys! I will carry on wearing my Bafana shirt and adorn it with paraphernalia from my next team that I will support. Only problem is that I am a bit in the dark as to who to support…. My children are Italien (Romano, Michele, Roberto), I like Argentina (their colours resembles the duvet on my bed), and I have swapped my SA scarf for an authentic mexican mask…… Who to support????

And also please I ahve now received this slideshow umpteenth times!!! SO to prove that I have received it and yes yes yes it does not matter…….

I am just sorry that we are not going to more live matches, because that is were it is at…..I was impressed with the Park and Ride and the general organisation at matches.
