Can you feel it?

Soccer world cup 2010 is just around the corner... With just 7 days to go it seems that the world is going to converge on our door steps. We are hearing reports of teams arriving and being escourted around the country to their base camps and everyone that is in the area trying to get a glimpse of their heros. What are we as south Africans doing? Have you got your flags on your mirrors or on your windows? The more time I spend in the road seeing people getting into the spirit of this whole thing makes me feel pretty proud to be a South African because ALL EYES ARE GOING TO BE ON US!! For the next month the world will be watching to see if the country that wasn't going to be ready to host the worlds biggest sporting event can pull it off.

Here are some crazy stats to get you "Feeling patriotic"...

1. All major roads have been upgraded

2. A new airport was built

3. An old airport was upgraded

4. Four new stadiums were built

5. An international broadcasting facility opened with HD capabilities

6. A train system built from scratch that will get you from the airport to Sandton (over 40km) in 15 min!!

Come on SA let's realise that we have acomplished so much, and let's not forget this is the first time the soccer world cup has been on African soil, it's our time to shine!
