simbiosis: World CUP : It's time for Africa!

In front of Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban for the match of Netherland vs Japan

hadus..sungguh malas nk hapdet..rasa mcm nk bengkalaikan lg blog ni utk kesekian kalinya..

Kat sini, seperti yg satu dunia tahu..tengah berlangsung acara sukan terhebat sepanjang zaman..World Cup 2010. Walaupun tidak berapa ambil tahu hal2 bola semasa tp acara besar begini membuatkan aku realise betapa besarnya pengaruh bola kepada masyarakat dunia. Ramai yg sanggup berhabisan semata2 mau menonton pasukan kegemaran masing2..walaupun tahu masa gini lah tauke2 bisnes nk kaut untung dan mencekik darah. nk cari flight n accomodation murah time ni mmg tak dapekla..

A big congratulations to South Africa for managing this big event so well. I could feel it was more exciting than the last world cup in Germany. Sebagai host, bukan sedikit yg telah dilabur oleh South africa utk anjur acara gergasi ni. 10 stadium baru yg mmg gedabak besar telah dibina semata2 utk world cup. campur lagi duit gaji volunteers (wlaupun nama sukarela tp tetap strike kalu gaji sikit), maintenance, construct jalan baru, perbesar jalan, banners etc. I wonder what will happen when Wolrd Cup ends..hopefully it won't end up like Greece..

It's none of my business..so tak payah susah2 pk mcm presiden pulakk..

Outside and inside the Moses Mabhida Stadium for Germany vs Australia match.

My opinion, stadium ni paling cun antara stadium WC yg lain..mcm bakul gitu.

our tickets

I got 2 tickets this time, one for Germany vs Australia which was the first game in Durban yg permai ni, and the other one for Netherland vs Japan which was just held last Saturday. Sbelum ni aku pernah masuk Stadium, pernah tgk bola kt Tv but kali ni, for the first time in life, aku tgk bola kt stadium!! There were 62,660 attendance during the first game and i think that was the best game ever..dapat tgk german belasah australia 4-0..fuh mmg berbaloi2..kejap2 bangun sorak..dapat pulak seat kt German fan side..90 minutes didn't seem enough even after the 4th goal, i still hoped there'd be another goal..kesian penyokong2 Ausie..nganga jelaa hehe..

Nak tgk game kt stadium, telinga kena bersiap sedia utk dipekakkan oleh vuvuzela. Advisable utk pakai ear plug..

Met my ofismate, Avir and his girlfriend.

Yuhuuu goal lagi dan lagi dan lagi!!

Second game Holand vs Japan was quite boring..maybe sebb aku pun tak sure nk sokong mn satu..klu ikutkan sentimental issue, dua2 pun aku takmau sokong, Holand ngn isu agama, Japan pulak pernah paksa org kita minum air sabun.. tp sebb nak rasa syok menyorak dan menyokong, so kami pilih utk sokong Jepun sebb Asia utk Asia haha.. asyik menguap je aku masa first half, nk tiup vuvuzela pun da tak kuasa..till Holand goaled for the first point..baru rasa semangat sikit...tp end up Jepun tetap kalah.

Aktiviti pabila game boring

WC 2010, We were there !

However, World Cup is not just about football. it somehow unites people from all over the world to gather and support their team. Rasa2 nya there's no other event that can beat the heat of World Cup. Seronok tgk macam2 ragam penyokong..How proud they are of their own country..well ada juga yg dtg utk sokong team kuat negara lain. Like myself, I am now excited to support the german's team after watching them played very well last time. Eventhough they were beaten by Serbia, they perfomed excellently with 10 men only. Well-organised, just like their people and the country itself. I wish I could do that for my own country..rasa2 ramai tak rakyat kita datang sokong Mesia klu Malaysia layak masuk World Cup? mesti ramai yg kata "berangan je la" tp mana tahu, Subkhidin berjaya jd referee World Cup tahun ni (walaupun setakat ni, kerjanya hanya angkat papan nombor tukar player), pasni giliran team bola kita pulakkk..ye dak hehehe..
