Football Friday

Being proudly South African, I have decided to jump on the "Football Friday" band wagon.  I was very kindly given a Bafana Bafana shirt the other day and I have been patiently waiting for Friday to arrive so that I could wear it with all the other South Africa supporters.


WHERE ARE ALL THE 'FOOTBALL FRIDAY' FELLOWS?


I must say that I felt a little lonely as I gaily stepped out in my yellow and greens.  There were not too many others dressed similarly.  As I went about my business, I kept peering around to see more soccer shirts.  Each time I saw someone else wearing Bafana kit, I was so excited.  I felt like a little kid on Halloween allowed to go 'trick or treating'.  It reminded me of school days, when we could go to school in 'civvies' instead of our regular school uniform.  Now, I just want to see more of us enjoying the treat.


SPORTS UNITES A NATION


Having recently watched "Invictus" and remembering the incredible vibe at that time, encourages me to get behind the boys and support them wholeheartedly in this 2010 FIFA World Cup.  I recall when we won the Rugby World Cup in South Africa all those years ago, how we danced together in the streets and celebrated as one.  Well, we probably won't win this one, but let's celebrate nevertheless.


BUY A BAFANA BAFANA SHIRT


Beg, borrow, but please don't steal, to obtain a Bafana Bafana shirt and join the already initiated every Friday.  Schools are joining in the fun, workplaces are getting involved, so now it is time for the individuals to gear up.  


What better cause than to cause a nation to unite once again.
