REST TIME

So the World Cup is over and I must admit depression has set in. We had a blast.To the crew that made the Swoosh0018 crew and assisted me throughout the tournament it was FANTASTIC. We had a blast.
Im gonna rest for two weeks.Update the World Cup Diaries and charge up for the next season.Its well needed.
Attending a World Cup tournament when your country is the host has been sensational.Ive attended a bit of Euro 96 when I was only 20.This has been something else.So many moments,brilliant fans and being part of the greatest football spectacle ever is truly unbelievable.Ive attended about 17 games and some of the lads more.
To see the tactics,skill and movement of some of the best players in the world has been a revelation.Im a true football fan.And I loved it from start to finish and yeah I f34ken miss it. But all good things come to an end and for now a good rest until the season starts again.

DAY 31-SPAIN ARE CHAMPIONS

The last day.After an awesome night out I awoke on Sunday morning with mixed feelings really.The excitement of watching my first World Cup Final and also the thought if perhaps the greatest month I have ever had coming to an end.But it has been brilliant and after being convinced to support the Dutch from my friends from Amsterdam yesterday I put on my scarf, Dutch Glasses,wrapped a flag as a Cape and I was off to the final.All the lads met at Hoosain Mayets house and we set off early to Shareworld Park and Ride to soak up the atmosphere.Good thing we did as Soccer City was filling up.And Mingling with the fans before the match was fantastic as usual.

From WORLD CUP FINAL, Netherlands vs Spain

The build up was amazing and the closing ceremony even better.A spectacular display of laser lights and African culture made the closing ceremony amazing and pumped the adrenalin as we headed toward the final.Holland vs Spain. Great Final,great fans and great footballing culture

The final wasnt great.I thought Howard Webb had a shocker.The game didnt flow and too many fouls.Almost the entire Dutch team was booked and a red card was a certainty.it was just a question of time.The Dutch were physical and the Spanish majestic with possession.Robben and Fabregas came close to grabbing the lead.As the cold descended on an electric atmosphere and with everyone expecting penalties Tores was introduced,got his cross in and Fabregas slipped a ball through to Iniesta and Spain clinched victory.I felt for the Dutch.They were gutted.Always the bridesmaids.The fans were magnificent and so dejected after the game. When Cassilas lifted the trophy I savoured the moment of the World Cup being lifted in our country.And as the fireworks and celebrations erupted I soaked up the moment and braced myself for the depression that would commence as the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP in South Africa came to a grinding halt and the Spanish tangoed into the freezing night

SPANISH CELEBRATIONS IN THE STREETS OF MADRID

More than a millions Spanish fans lined the streets of Madrid as Spanish fans celebrated long into the night. After the game in Soccer City I managed to see a few Spanish Fans dancing and celebrating as many froze with the cold. I took a photo with a real Spanish hottie and asked her. "Where are the Spanish partying tonight?"She said In Madrid baby,Not here.We are going hommmmmme".
The Spanish were jubilant at Soccer City and the Dutch were gutted and in tears.In Holland though the team received a great reception and a boat tour is being lined up in Amsterdam.
But for now Congratulations Spain on becoming the World Champions and Hats off to South Africa,the People and the fans...as a country we proved the critics wrong and delivered a spectecular World Cup without major incident.

As a nation we can stand together and be proud

DAY 30-ORANJE ARMY

On Saturday I had to go hang out at Sandton Square.It was the day before the final.I expected it to be rocking.And I wasn't wrong.It was off the hook.
We had lunch at Giradelis and many legends were walking around.Uruguayan legend Enzo Francescoli for one.
I had a good meal and set off to have a smoke in the square with my replica trophy in my hand.
On my way I was stopped by four Dutch supporters who wanted a photo.
Mark,Alex,Jan and I forgot the third.
We became friends and they told me to hang around with them at the square.

A packed Sandton Square was electric

They were chanting Holland,Holland and were true Dutch supporters.Then the Dutch band arrived and for the next three hours there was chanting,Singing and a proper Fan Zone was developing.After a while the Spanish Joined in.
I was loving it,chatting to the various fans about the game and South Africa.

I begun to like the Dutch Fans.After a while I offered the Dutch friends a lift to Melrose Arch as they wanted to watch the 3rd and fourth playoff.
I told them to meet me at Mandelas statue.
They were creators and told me that I have too little orange and gave me a pair of sunglasses and a scarf in Dutch Colors.
After the dancing and hanging out with the Oranje I was going to support the Dutch tomorow, knowing that if they win the Orange brigade and party will be insane.

My Cuzzie and durban correspondent ZaK Loonat and his members were around.So we were walking around,A coffee here and there.
During the time I met former Spanish and Real Madrid defender Fernando Hierro.Got a pic and watched loads of Celebs around...Pep Guardiola,Christian Karembeau and his model wife,Blatter and even Sharukh Khan was causing a stir.

DUTCH FANS AND BAND

Meeting Fernando Hierro

Sandton was buzzing.At 7 we met Mark and the Dutch crew,hopped in my car ,Opened the roof and The Dutch were singing and creating the Vibe en route to Melrose Arch.These guys were funny,full of passion and creators.They make a quiet moment Fun and are quite vocal.
So as we entered Melrose Arch they were mobbed to take photographs.
Also the Flying Dutchmen were there and I couldn't resist but stare at those hot "Air Hostess looking" blonde's.It was rocking.

At 10pm we left Alex and them and headed on to soak in the Night scene.
Grabbed the usual McDonalds which has been our staple diet this World Cup and all I can say about the night was purely "SUBLIME!"
badaams galore and ready and excited for the Final

DAY 28-29-SOAKING IT IN

Our flight landed at 9pm after a bit of delays that ensued from the Durban air traffic situation and headed on home.Met Faiz and Moe...had a coffee and a snack at Capellos and prepared for the weekend.I got home and slept like a baby. On Friday I just chilled and got a few errands done.Cuzzy Zak Loonat and crew were arriving from Durban for the Final Weekend.

Zak a mad Dutch supporter so we pit stopped at Hilton,and had a coffee hoping some of the Dutch players will surface but they checked out to the Hyat.So we went to Sandton,met the lads,had a relaxing supper and headed off home.On our way I decided to check out the Hyat and have some more coffee he he.To our suprise we were sitting next to the Dutch Coaching staff and Van Mawyk. Wished them good luck and got a pic with Phillip Cocu. Then we dropped a connextion from london Speedhie off and hit the sack. Saturday was pre final Day

Day 27 - Semi Final Durban, Spanish Rule

With the Cape Town Semi an absolute cracker we set off for Durban. Obviously it was sad to leave Cape Town behind after only two days but a cracking semi final awaited us between Spain and Germany.Two European giant.So myself and Husain caught a 7:am flight from Cape Town to Durban.And just as well because later we had feedback about the disappontment and frustration endured by fans as eleven flights were turned back.Thats really terrible.Fans must have saved up for years and prepared for this moment only to be turned back because of airport congestion.Gimme a break.

Durbans King Shaka airport.Not knowing whats in store for them in the evening

Anyways we got picked up at 11am. And next to me on the plane was  gentleman from Miami that watched almost very World Cup.We chatted about football and the other countries and he told me that South Africa has been by far the best World Cup he has ever been too.he singled out the warmth of the people.Woza guys Woza...Well done South Africa

We got to our Road Lodge behind the McDonalds in Durban Central.Nice Cosy lodge with plenty of foreign fans booking in for the night.And with the McDonalds there the vibe was awesome. Caught a nap in the afternoon and then set off to the stadium at about 6pm.We took a nice cool walk through the FAN ZONE on the Beach Front.Again amazing atmosphere

The game itself was entertaining....the atmosphere at Moses Mabhida electric,the weather beautiful and not like the biting cold you feel in JHB. And of course linking up with KILLA priceless.

Spain were masters in possession again and Germany didn't offer anything.They were not the same team that beat England and Argentina..or should I say Hammered England and Argentina.They were different.

Watching these great players in action I was sure that Germany would soak it in and frustrate Spain and hit them on the counter. But When.Time was going and Iniesta and Xavi as well as Alonso could spray inch perfect passes all night.

Corner and Puyol dumped the Germans out.Ike Cassilas came big on two saves but this was not the same German team we've seen in SA.

After the game we watched the Spanish Celebrate and the Germans cry.We got hold of Killa and with his permission we will publish what we saw on Video.Only with his permission.So Spain vs Holland then.A dream Final.I phoned Riyad Loonat later and commended him on his Spanish outfit. We walked back to the hotel about 3km away........What a walk...But we did it.With the lads

The lads after walk back to hotel

After a good McDonalds Supper we headed off to Florida road.The rest is history.Cubana was full of fans.

We returned,had a bit of sleep and its customary when you leave Durban to have a Wimpy Queen Street Breakfast.

The lads dropped us off and myself and Hoosain caught a flight back to JHB on Thursday Evening.But it rounded off a spectacular Semi Final Weekend

Day 26 Semi Final, Cape Town, Flying Dutchman

After enjoying a nice coffee with the boys at Michaelangelo hotel after the Spain vs Paraguay game I drove to Lenz to regroup and pack some stuff.Sunday evening myself and Husain Mayet were flying to Cape Town for the weekend.It was a big week.They picked me up and we drove to Lanseria airport.My first time actually.Moe and Faaiz were flying the next evening.

So we gripped some coffee,flew with Kalula and landed at 10pm.We split ways and went t family respectively to catch up.On Monday we drove around Cape Town,had a delight full lunch at Snoekies.You gotta luv Snoekies.Whilst we ordered there,3 guys with a British accent were ordering.I took a gamble and asked.Are you lot from Bately hey.They said Yeah.I said are you Yaseen Cha chas sons.They said yeah.What a small world.Uniting with cuzzies whom Ive seen 14 years ago.What a thing.

Snokies restaurant in Hout Baai

We then cruised the waterfront,met some fans, and visited another good friend.He whipped up a quick braai.I had no match ticket for the Cape Semi.

And a dream come true when I was presented one cat 2 ticket. Wonderful feeling and highly appreciated.Thanks Farhad. Meant alot.

So with ticket in hand we set off to base camp in Milnerton.Imraan and Mo shuttled us to long Street where we seen Argentinian fans vs the English fans in Full cry.Met Moe,Faiz and Speedy .And as the rain fell,we headed home.The rest of the squad was arriving tomorrow on match Day.

Waterfront on match day was fantastic.The Uraguayans were singing and chanting....Fans were out and about. We took pictures and really soaked it up.Weather wasnt too bad.It wasnt raining. The boys had lunch and then we set off toward the Fan Mile with our whole crew in Cape Town. Top Stuff

Anzo with some hardcore Dutch Fans

The Cape Town Fan Mile was a wonderful experience.Festive and 70% Orange.It was what we missed in JHB.100 000 people passing through the stats said. But a Carnival atmosphere and a great walk to the stadium(see video below). The Fan Mile was laden with fans singing and mmmm...felt like I was walking through and Orange town at one stage

Amazing atmosphere on the Fan mile

It was the first time I visited the GreenPoint stadium.And the atmosphere was electric. Once again Thanks Farhad.Great seats.lower tier behind the goal.Cape Town was cold,but coming from JHB it didn't hurt.Thankfully there was no rain as it was fore casted. After my cousins Fuzzy and Zak convinced me to support the Dutch I was halfway there. Great game,Great atmosphere and great goals.Gio van Bronchorst opening up with a cracker.When Forlan equalised through another rasper I began to worry. I told Zunaid whom I was sitting next too that I wanted a Holland vs Spain /Germany in the final.As the second half kicked in Holland took control and duly won the encounter 3-2.Great.

We celebrated with the Dutch,met the Flying Dutchman which was an experience.The Flying Dutchmen are those supporters that look as if they got off the airlines.Amazing and well some stunning air hostesses if you know what I mean.

We took a walk to the Waterfront.A lovely supper with the boys.Moe & Faiz drove to Durbs.The rest were still in Cpae Town and Myself and Hoosain got prepared for our early flight to Durban.And just as well we flew early.......

DAY 17-THE STICK OF GEOF HURST

GERMANY VS ENGLAND
MELROSE ARCH FAN ZONE

Killa and a dew other lads made the trip to Rustenburg.We went to Melrose Arch and it was packed. Atmosphere was superb. And the English were two down.Miroslav Klose.That man puts away when it matters.England were in shambles.Never seen them Like this.I phones Azee and them right away.Lads were shell shocked.Upson got ine back and then in 1966 the stick of Geoff Hurst came back to haunt England.Lampards effort clearly crossed the line. It was blatant unlike Geof Hursts shot.It was a yard across the line.Everyone in Melrose could see it. And it always happens to England.Cruel Fae and luck haunt the English.England enjoyed a good spell and in the second half the game was on.

Then they got hit by the German counter.They had no answer.And in all fairness Ebgland were just not good enough this tournament.They were not there.Something was missing. Gerard on the wing,Barry was poor and why did Capello keep persisting with a has been Heskey.

England deserved to go and the Germans deserved to progress.Its the World Cup.You gotta do what you have to do when it matters.The Germans did and England like Italy were just not good enough.They didnt top their group ad payed for it.And we say goodbye to a golden generation.

In the words of Chris Skudder."This is Naseem Mayet reporting live form a dejectedEngland zone in Roostenburg"

And I say it again and again.Never Ever write off the Germans

Killa with the match ball that Mueller scored two with to bury England with.Killa the man. Trust our owes to pull of something like this
