Day 155: Go Bafana Bafana!

Day 155: Go Bafana Bafana, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.
A Bafana Bafana fan supporting the team at the fanpark in Belville. Bafana Bafana drew with Mexico 1-1. I went to the fan Park yesterday to watch the festivities before the match, and the match itself. It was crowded and noisy, yet one of the most friendly and exciting environments that I have ever been in. It was like a massive group of friends getting together to party!
Here are a few more pictures.

More fans.

A young fan blowing his vuvuzela as hard as he can. I think he might be a trumpet player when he is a little older. I love the puffed-chipmunk cheeks.
Go Bafana Bafana!
There are less than 5 hours until the kickoff, and South Africa has gone completely crazy. Everybody is hooting, blowing their vuvuzelas, wearing the yellow and green of our national side Bafana Bafana, all getting ready to support our team in the opening match.
The traders on the street are doing a roaring trade, with lines of cars stopping on the side of the road, hoping to still buy a flag or supporters shirt.
We are going to have a great game, and we are going to show that Africa can put on a great show!
