We barely got into a packed bar after discovering that the Fan Fest had been full since 11 AM. Kick off was at 4PM.There was dancing and singing and celebrating before kickoff. It was a party, not a match.
When eventual state champs Graham Harrel and Ennis tried and failed to beat Corsicana on October 31, 2003, I was excited. When Vince Young pranced into the endzone to beat USC, I was excited. When Leszack's split in the 4X100 made us beat the Frogs in 2008, I was excited.
But the opening goal of World Cup 2010 for Bafana Bafana was the most glorious outpouring of emotion and joy I have ever witnessed.
The South Africans are proud of the tie with Mexico, as they should be.
We watched the second game in the outdoor fan park. France Uruguay was SO boring of a game, but the park was awesome. We wanted to scope it out for Saturday.
