Wednesday wasyouth day…a celebration of the youth uprising in Soweto in 1976. It’s a very important day in South Africa’s history and just a pity Bafana Bafana couldn’t quite make it a truly great day. But the whole country is still proud of them and right behind them with 1 game to play.

On Thursday we went to Soccer City in Johannesburg to watch Argentina v South Korea. What an amazing place!

This time we were prepared for the cold. I had 3 polyprop tops on! (And I was still cold…). Mind you going to the toilet with 4 layers of pants is not easy…might have to rethink that one!

Everything was so well organised. Hats off to all the organisers, this is one place it all worked like clockwork.

The Stadium is brilliant. I fell in love with the place. A capacity of 94 700, not a bad seat in the house, and just brilliantly designed, with a great great atmosphere.

With a crowd of 82000 we were treated to a great game, and got to witness the world’s best player, Lionel Messi, orchestrate a comfortable 4-1 win. The people were fantastic, supporting Bafana Bafana, Argentina and Korea with great gusto. Truly an awesome day,and I look forward to returning one day to watch the Boks play here!
