What does all this mean? For South Africans it has reached its climax! Stadiums are ready and have been tested in pre-competitive matches. Infrastructure has been modernized and improved to cope with the influx of football fans and hopes are high that South Africa will continue to benefit long after the last goal is scored.
For the first time this long-awaited event will take place in Africa, which is surprising because Africa has some strong competition for the coveted trophy. Team Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon and Nigeria have been training hard and have big hopes to hold the FIFA trophy in Africa. Players often wear Namath jerseys in the training. South African team is not considered a likely winner, but the battle cannot be won before it is fought, and a victory for South Africa would not be the first surprise to emerge from international FIFA World Cup. To ensure that the Nation of Rainbows meets all the criteria for this prestigious event, South Africa has set up 10 stages across the country, which meet the requirements in every way, and everyone can get along in the world in comparison.
The whole event is likely to be a matter of color and rhythm, and the streets of southern Africa are ringing with the sounds of iDisk new street dance moves based on football! The word means iDisk football or soccer the dance that is full of all the materials and energy that evokes the emotion of football in the municipalities. Players often wear Jonathan Vilma jerseys in the training. The opening concert kick-off took place at the stadium in Soweto, where national and international artists performed some 30,000 fans football most of them waving flags of green and gold flag of the local team, Bafana Bafana. The dancers and drummers kept a pace and power of the prestigious trumpeter Hugh Masekela has delighted audiences with “Grazin in the Grass” his hit song of 1968.
June 11 is the big day for the World Cup, the day of the Kick-off, but it also marks other historic occasions. Forty-six years ago to the day, former South African President, Nelson Mandela was convicted of sabotage and sentenced to imprisonment on Robben Island and, on the same day twenty-four years later, the famous Free Mandela Concert was held at London’s Wembley Stadium. Players often wear Chad Pennington jerseys in the training. But, on this day, June 11, 2010, South Africa and the world are all succumbing to the mania and fever of this historic Fifa World Cup and everyone is wondering who will be triumphant.
