With 19 days left to the opening of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, I have decided to join in the football fever and excitement by posting football related pics everyday. Driving around Johannesburg these days is great fun with the vibe being very clearly World Cup vibe.
Cars have flags attached to them or window socks showing the driver's team support. Flags fly from walls and windows all over the suburbs and shopping centres. People walk around in Bafana Bafana's green and yellow football jerseys or t-shirts.
I saw a car with a South African flag bonnet sock yesterday, which was huge and so cool. My friend saw a young man in a Mercedes which he had spray painted in the colours of the South African flag. People are seriously getting into the mood. I have also seen that some people have painted the walls surrounding their homes with SA flags.
There is also a very common sound in the air these days. It's heard on the radio, on TV and in the neighbourhoods. The blast of the vuvuzela. Whether you hate it or love it, it is here to stay and does add to the atmosphere of building excitement.
So, my salute to football fever, apart from my flags, mirror socks and Bafana shirt, is to snap football fever shots and post them for the next two months. If you have any great pics to share, join in the fun.
