The biggest sporting event in the world is here!

Being a day away from the start of the biggest sporting event in the world, and after a negative piece on the World Cup earlier, I thought it was time to balance out the scales a bit.

Although a few people will still have their negative sentiments about the world cup (while their closeted positive person is waiting to escape), no one can deny the positive feelings and hype in the air. Everyone across all racial, gender and economic classes is getting into the thick of things with the support of our team after a recent spate of successful matches which has certainly boosted confidence levels all round.

Hopefully Bafana Bafana can pleasantly surprise all of us with spectacular performances against tougher opposition in the coming games. I, myself not being much of football fan, will catch most of the action on TV, and hopefully one or two at the stadiums. 

For all the tourists that have already come, and those yet to arrive, I hope that they experience the warmth and beauty of our country, and are positively infleunced to return again in the future.

And finally for the Wolf parting shot - Go Bafana, tear the opposition to shreds...
