DAY 6-A NATION WEEPS

Ebie and Waseem  at a freezing Loftus Versveld

DAY 6.....Youth day in South Africa, a public holiday and a big day for Bafana Bafana. Secound round of group A and against Uraguay or Diego Forlan and Suarez. The nation awaited,we awaited this night and were expecting the result.After Mexico we believed.It was freezing cold in Gauteng and the lads decided that we take the Metro Rail to Pretoria.

Patriotic South Africans en route to Pretoria.

The Metro rail stops of outside Loftus Stadium

The vibe in the train was sublime,Bafana Bafana fans dancing and anticipating the massive night in Pretoria. The train journey really enabled us to feel the atmosphere and the passion. Everyone was clad in South African Colours. And ofcourse we would avoid traffic to Pretoria. Beside the Train was different and something we have never tried. Also being with the lads was extra special.

Every once in a while fans would dance and chant and move from Coach to Coach.See video below

Shazo,Moe,Saffiya,Killa,Myself,Faaiz Oz and Joey made the trip

We arrived at about 7:pm and the streets en route to the stadium was Yellow and Green. We fancied our chance against the Uruguians. It was agin freezing cold. I wondered what the celebrations would feel like in Pretoria if we beat Uruguay. Game on!Fans were waving their flag and blowing their vuvuzelas

Only problem was that a few of us had no match tickets.It was freezing in the streets of Hatfield. So we were not so fortunate. Ticket punters were asking too much for category fours and we could come across any.Oz and Mo went in and well myself,Swaar,Killa and Shazo watched it in a bar in Hatfield.
We had to get in to the bar. The streets were so cold. Ad well ofocourse in the Bar everything was proudly South African
Ebie Ahmed was in there and got the pics and vids. The streets of Hatfield were rocking.


Fantastic atmosphere in a freezing Loftus



streets of hatfield ,evern though it was cold

We travelled far in the cold and the nation jolted when Forlan scored a cracker. Next thing we down 3-0 and down to ten men.Misery,cold and a hearltess performance. A nation mourned.
I mean if we lose lets lose with heart. We were poor, We lacked something, We didnt deserve to win honestly.We were outplayed.
Fans were gutted.We didnt even show up.Perriera plays a 4-5-1. I cant understand. No excuses. A cold miserable night, I felt let down.We didnt put up a fight.I expected so much after Mexico.Now it will take a miracle if the Mexico France result doesnt go according to plan. It was cold, we had a long drive as news filtered in that the Metro rail was stuck as there was no electricity.We hired a taxi and I got home,had a piping shower to defrost or thaw out and thats football.Thats how it goes.But the host nation was on the brink of an exit.
THE NATIONS MOURNED

SA vs URAGUAY


SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

TAKING THE METRO RAIL TO LOFTUS

Moe though had a top seat.With the Springboks.right next to the Springboks.Pierre Spies.........and Os Du Randt

In the END though as we dorve home we all braced ourselves for the reality that South Africa would be eliminated from 2010 in the group stages. The disappointment was too much to bare

In Nelspruits Mombela stadium Chile were synonymous to the African Wild and Hot Mpumelanga province. The rest of SA was bitterly cold and well Nelspruit was like Durban. Chile beat the Hondurans 1-0

And in the afternoon game we recieve a shocker as news filtered in that the Favourites, the Spanish and their super squad lost 1-0 to Switzerland. Was this a World Cup of upsets. What if Spain didnt qualify. You start thinking that anything could happen.........

Zak Loonat was the man on the scene in Durbz that captured the footage for us and although he and many Spanish fans were disappointed, the Spanish Armada kicked off their 2010 Campaign in sunny Durban

Moses Mabida before kick off as fans enter the stadium

The Swiss were patriotic

Couldnt wait to see this in South Africa



Fantastic atmosphere at the Moses Mabida stadium in Durban
