I am in South Africa during the 2010 World Cup, and as such, I have to experience what a south african world cup should feel like, so for the opening ceremonies, we went to Mbali, one of the townships, for what is called a “Fan Park” They set up a Big Screen and a stage in a soccer field at the local college, and have live music and stuff when the game isn't being shown, everyone dresses up in the south african colours and wears flags and stuff and playing their vuvuzelas (the plastic horns that annoy you when you watch the soccer game).
The whole game was one big party, everyone was hanging out having fun, then Bafana Bafana (the name of the african team) scored a goal, and everyone went crazy! Everyone was jumping up and down screaming, blowing their vuvuzelas, and hugging for like 5 minutes.
It was a good game, and even though we didn`t win, we still tied, which is a moral victory when bafana is playing mexico.
