Soccer Fans are the BEST!
One of the most unexpected things for me about the Soccer World Cup is the overseas fans! Many of us expected South Africa to run a decent tournament. We have after all successfully organised rugby and cricket world cups and many other international tournaments.
However nothing prepared us for the fans! They’ve brought colour and excitement to Cape Town. Even more than we usually have.
They’ve enthused us with their excitement.
I have no doubt that soccer had a few new converts during the last few weeks. I enjoyed the soccer even more than I thought possible. And I haven’t missed a WC since 1986 when I had to listen to the final between Argentina and West Germany on medium wave radio!
No one will be able to pursuade me that soccer doesn’t have the best fans in the world. The English, Brazilians, Portuguese and especially the Dutch fans have added even more to already great World Cup experience in Cape Town.
