Thought I'd even take a pot home but the guards were watching me. Saw Danny at the media centre today too. The majority of the media are a bit shocked at how slick and unchaotic the CTICC is, the glass lifts, tiles, prettyness everywhere. Most hilarious is that Danny, Irvin and the new SAFA guy Kirsten have offices right next door to each other in the CTICC. Tension! Went on the final draw stage today.

I have tickets for 6 games, but will apply for some more after the draw on Friday. I CAN get excited about the games - don't care who I get to see, but I will see at least different 3 top seeded teams - just want the atmosphere and to say that I was there. My first game is the hugely anticipated A3 v A4: http://6000.co.za/2009/06/11/a3-v-a4/ Don > Thanks for the comment. I have tickets for 6 games, but will apply for some more after the draw on Friday.

I am excited about the draw on Friday so that I can buy tickets and know who is playing! I do not really get excited about buying tickets for A3 vs A1. Give me Nigeria vs Holland on Friday night and i'm there like a bear. I will be supporting Bafana, but i can not see them winning the World Cup. I will be screaming my lungs out for Bafana, and i will supporting Ivory Coast. This World Cup is Africa's world Cup, hopefully. Can't wait for that crazy month next year. World Cup Love!

Sorry for you and your negative attitude. Like I said earlier - it doesn't take much to go out and have a good time. Your moaning won't stop the evil deeds you think are taking place, but it'll sure as hell make you feel a whole lot worse about them. ctguy > Let’s get through this one first before we start worrying about 2018!

For me, more than anything else, this WC is going to represent corruption and people lining their pockets at every opportunity, greater good be damned.
