Soccer World Cup Excitement, or Not?
Less than 100 days to go and all officials; government and not are pushing for more excitement.
- Play soccer in the parks
- Play it in the streets
- Put soccer balls in shop windows
- Spread the excitement
There seems to be a worry that we are not excited enough.
I used to be an avid soccer fan; loved to play and loved to watch. Not so much nowadays, sorry.
However, I am super amped that South Africa is hosting the world cup and I hope we will do well as a team – but that is where it ends, on hope. Because that seems to be about it for Bafana Bafana, that is if they don’t surprise us.
I guess that is where my excitement is lacking – in our team.No amount of misplaced confidence (on my part, or any other fan) will make them play better. Everything is in the players hands (or feet) and heads – and the hope I have is that they play well as a team, listen the the coach and make us excited and proud.
Unfortunately it all hinges on their first game.
What do you Think?

I think the excitement will build as the time gets nearer and nearer. As a South AFrican, I am pretty stoked, and I know everyone else is. I don’t think South Africans are as excited as the rest of the world because they regularly hold events such as this.
Poor Bafana Bafana. Great team, just not at the right level this year.
well, we will find out soon enough what level Bafana Bafana is.
A part of me secretly think that they will surprise us.
