DAY 4-AZURRI START SLOW

Ebie Ahmed was the Swoosh0018 Man on the Scene in the game between Holand and Denmmark and describes the sea of orange as fantastic and great to be a part of. The Dutch ran out 2-0 winners at Soccer City with goals from Dirk kuyt and an own goal from Denmark. Good three points by the Dutch and although the Dutch Fans I spoke too at Melrose Arch said that it wasnt all that convinving the Dutch are happy and have arrived,

AYBOH RIA VIA

My father and sister went to the Holland vs Denmark game so I was in Fordsburg and having some R&R. But I couldnt resist so I thought Il catch a Ria Via to soccer city and soak up the atmosphere with the fans after the game and meet Mo and Oz.So I get dropped off there and find that there is no Buses, Mulled around there for a while then took a walk back to Fordsburg,Then came the calls and BB messages, The RIA VIA okes went on strike.Not a good advert for South Africa, Many were stranded and well had to arrange for alternative means of transport. Il appreciate feedback here please guys

ITALY VS PARAGUAY

MELROSE ARCH FAN ZONE

The Lads decided to watch the Italy vs Paraguay game at Innesfree Park.En Route to the Fan Park we met some Swiss Fans that were loving South Africa...We got there and well decided to relocate to Melrose Arch Fan Zone. Glad we did.The Atmosphere was superb. Plenty of fans to exerience the vibe with and well for me it was a big one as Italy opened their account in a rainy and Cold Cape Town..
It was a decent line up by Lippi but still theres something missing.
When we went one down I thought here it goes. Although Italy were not impressive they got their equaliser and I thought pushed on rather well. Danielle De Rossi to the rescue after a goalkeeping error and well we were lucky to escape with a point. Off to New Zealand now and well.
I thought Italy lacked punch upfront and Montolivio and Pepe were the outstanding players on the pitch. As for the goal...Cannavaro and Chielini beaten in the air....Thats worrying. Also worrying is the injury sustained by Gigi Buffon.Its certain that he will miss the game agains new Zealand
Forza Azurri
To Nelspruit we hunt

In the other game in Boemfontein Cameroon who have never lost an opening ga,e in the World Cup were shocked by the Japanese. Cameroon are in Danger
