Cape Town Central

Sometimes we go looking for the stories - other times they come to us...

Discounted Body Armour

So we laughed long and lot at the bargain bin on the way to the game... English and French merchandise at reduced prices after they'd bombed out of our World Cup. However, on our return, I couldn't avoid noticing the drastically reduced Argentina stock, after losing 4 nil...
You'll find it next to the German branded bullet proof vests - vot vere zey sinking?

Cape Town Fan Walk

Cape Town is wet, dull and cold in winter...if you believe that, you'll believe the stuff they wrote about South Africa before the World Cup. Heres a 3rd July photo from the middle of winter, as thousands take to the streets to celebrate hosting the event in South Africa - you should have been here...

Make the circle bigger!

More creativity than you can shake a stick at, the Fan Walk to the game comes up with characters from around the world. Even if you don't have a ticket to the match, join the march to the Cape Town Stadium for the time of your life!

PE Soccer Stadium

Been on a surf trip, but got skunked by wind and flat swell! 'Shoulda been here yesterday' is the trotted out smug mantra in the local pub. So we checked into the Uruguay-Korea match. Great venue, wind free and good game - and the biggest flag I've ever seen unfurled at a stadium. What a jol!!
Back for the Argentina game in CT - BEEEG party in the streets!

Swiss beat Spain

Wild celebrations in a Swiss sort of way, with a victory against the odds.
Welcome to Cape Town! Enjoy the wine, hospitality and crazy locals that just won't leave you alone...

Stadium Security

Brutal smiles and frivolous frisking - security at the Cape Town Stadium did the job in the friendliest possible way - thanks to all of them for the long hours they're putting in - good luck over the next 6 weeks - so far it's been a jol! (And my Bafana gear is underneath my Argentina kit...)

Cape Town Fan Walk

65 000 people poured out onto the streets of Cape Town immediately after the final whistle - the Inner City shuttle busses left every few minutes, but most opted to celebrate the clear evening with a slow walk back to the train station via the Fan Walk or Waterfront detour. Hey, can't we keep this 'happy bubble' going? Its like an African 'Never Neverland' - Somewhere over the Rainbow Nation...

France vs Uruguay - Cape Town Stadium

A packed Cape Town Stadium celebrates their first World Cup Match! Everything worked perfectly, although the teams seemed too nervous to play - ja bru, us Vuvu-zealots can be a bit intimidating... Viva Vuvu Viva!!!

Public Transport to World Cup Games

Vat die Trein!!! There can't be a better way to go to the game, than to catch the train from Fish Hoek. Its often only a few meters from the ocean, you can check out the whales, in season, and the surfing every day. On a soccer day, each station gradually loads more supporters as we get closer to the City - by the time you reach Cape Town, its a full on crescendo of noise and cheering, ready for the fan walk to the game! And if you've got a match ticket - its a free ride...
