The Opening ceremony is considered to be the biggest pop extravaganza in the continent’s history with 1,581 performers from around the world, including TKZee, Shakira, Alicia Keys and the Black Eyed Peas, as well as Algeria’s Khaled, Ghana’s Osibisa and Hip Hop Pantsula.

Sadly, South African opera singer Siphiwo Ntshebe who died from meningitis, was scheduled to sing his recently recorded song “HOPE” at the opening ceremony.

The 34-year-old, who was chosen by Nelson Mandela to perform at the opening ceremony of the World Cup, was admitted to hospital and died on May 26.

“I think expectations on the team have skyrocketed,” Howard said.

“We’ve shown that we can compete at a very high level against some of the top teams in the world.

“We lifted the bar for ourselves, which is always important. The World Cup is the toughest tournament in sports to win.”

BOB & THE BLONDE
Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a
sports bar around 9:58 pm.
He sat down next to a blonde at the
bar and stared up at the TV.
The 10 pm news was coming on.
The news crew was covering the story
of a man on the ledge of a large building
preparing to jump.
The blonde looked at Bob and said,
“Do you think he’ll jump?”
Bob said, “You know, I bet he’ll jump.”
The blonde replied, “Well, I bet he won’t.”
Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and
said, “You’re on!”
Just as the blonde placed her money
on the bar, the guy on the ledge did
a swan dive off the building, falling
to his death.
The blonde was very upset, but willingly
handed her $20 to Bob, saying,
“Fair’s fair.  Here’s your money.”
Bob replied, “I can’t take your money.
I saw this earlier on the 5 pm news,
and so I knew he would jump.”
The blonde replied, “I did too, but
didn’t think he’d do it again.”
Bob took the money…
