This didn’t technically happen in America, but believe me the vibe was felt all the way over here…the Opening of the Soccer world cup! This may have been the first time in a LONG while that I cried since coming over here, but it wasn’t homesickness tears, it was tears from the joy and pride I felt for my country and Bafana Bafana! I proudly painted SA flags on my toes and painted my face (with the help of photoshop…see education is never wasted) with my flag. I was really happy to say that, that was my country! The great thing is, that never changed. I was so proud of the boys, even though they “never made it” to me they are still heroes and I was proud of my fellow South Africans because all I heard was positives reports about South Africans attitudes and helpful natures! One great country came together…and even got me to watch a little soccer! Although still not quite sure of all the rules and definitely not down with the fact that the players fall on the ground sooooo dramatically (I heard them once referred to as ‘field fairies” hee hee) but I do have a big amount of respect for their ball skills, which is pretty mad playing!
