Whilst Jo’burg held their World Cup party on yesterday featuring “international stars”, Cape Town celebrated their opening event today, featuring a veritable feast of local African groups headlined by the well known academic, Dr. Victor and the Rasta Rebels – not quite sure what his Doctorate paper was though!Cape Town is clearly ready for this Global football fest.
up for the craic?
wild hat guyNews channels both local and international talk of little else, and the anticipation for the kick-off tomorrow is immense.
Bafana Bafana play Mexico in Jo’burg in the tournament opener whilst France will meet Uruguay here in Cape Town. Both Les Bleu fans and the Uruguayans have been a heavy presence here in Cape Town.
Back in December i gave my own World Cup predictions, and although several sides have suffered some high profile injuries including Rio Ferdinand (England), Arjen Robbens (Holland), the highly Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast), Nani for Portugal and Michael Ballack for Germany i’m sticking with my predictions.
For those not tired out of football here in Cape Town, check out The Labia cinema (maybe it means something completely different in Afrikaans?) on Kloof Street showing a series of football related films and documentaries over the next few days.
