Although I'm one of the few people that does not like soccer or football as we say over here, I hope that Holland will win.
The whole country is exited and collared orange. So I should drive out the major with the orange wheels and orange grill

Yesterday we had a hot an pleasant day ring riding with our tractors. You can see that the vuvusela has entered the tractor scene. Even the cups were in orange.
There was one guy who had a lot of guts. He was walking around in a Spanish shirt.

Thanks Henk, those pictures are great and shows the spirit."GEES" in Afrikaans, the decedents of the Dutch settlers in South Africa.

I also was not a soccer fan until the World Cup started, but am very much one now.

I must admit, even if I have to stick my neck out I think the games have gone off very well. The tourists are just a buzz and really having a great time.

I'm off to watch the game CHEERS

Mervin,

The world has met a different South Africa.
As Tutu say's that must give you hope for the future.
May the best team win.

Arch Bishop Tutu is a wonderful humble man and very well respected and we must believe what he says.

As for the final, I found it very exciting, a pity about that cross bar been in the way.

Maybe now that the games are over I can put some more time into my Dexy.
