It’s the morning of the World Cup, and last night I watched the opening concert broadcast from Orlando Stadium at home in front of the fire with Lance. The boys stayed up to watch a bit of it, but it’s a massive pity they didn’t get to see the big songs like the flag song… I was actually crying at many parts of the concert…
I can’t remember when last I’ve felt so proud to be a South African. It was awesome sitting there watching the tweets about #wc2010 and chatting on FB and Twitter with friends at the concert and in their living rooms around the world all experiencing the same thing as us.
Oh and that speech by the Arch was phenomenal! Mike Stopforth described him so perfectly on Twitter “Archbishop Tutu is a precious little black Yoda”
This morning Connor even got into the spirit. As he woke up the first thing he said was “It’s the World Cup!”.
I feel it… it is HERE!!
it was awesome. Connor is too cute. Carmen reckons she’ll just play when its the game.lol
It was such a great event. Oompie Des as always did not disappoint. Did you know he blessed A last year? Got their picture taken by one of the newspapers but never published. AS sweet as he is on TV, so sweet he is one on one.
LOL, we watched it in the UK and the atmosphere was amazing… The Brits could learn a lot from the SA patriotism! Loving the Yoda comment too, that was spot on! 😀

With the power failure we have experience in our area, I did not have the opportunity to watch the concert. I did though request from DSTV to load it on the DSTV on Demand for TV. Hope they do it

Crying too 🙂 So homesick. So proud. So hoping the spirit remains, driving healing and growth.
It was absolutely awesome!!!!!

Same feelings I had during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Such pride!
Every time Col and I watch a World Cup game I think of you and Laura. And Charlize Theron, lol.
