1966 was the last time England won the World Cup

Hate to think what will happen tomorrow if they lose to the US!! Could be a disaster with hopes so high!

Umbro and Mars Commercials demonstrate some of the passion!

Maradona lets winners of a practice match kick balls at the losers. Strange and funny at the same time.

Hope coaches of young players don’t copy him!

Loud colourful horns will be blasting everywhere!  Japan’s football association, have called for the stadium horn to be banned from games. FIFA has refused.

The traditional instrument for South African football fans – takes considerable effort to blow, sounds something like a fog-horn and when used by large crowds at a football stadium creates an incredibly loud noise.

One reason I’m happy to watch at home!

Soccer players fall to the ground without being dragged down or tripped. Once they’re on the ground, they often roll around and exaggerate their injuries. Numerous times during a match players will drop to the pitch in what seems like incredible pain in an attempt to get the refs attention. It’s almost unbelievable that in a few minutes, the player is perfectly healthy again!

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.

Siphiwo Ntshebe-hope

Millions of spectators, who will be watching the launch of the games, will be able to hear Siphiwo Ntshebe’s posthumous rendition of the song.

US versus England world cup 2010

A win or a draw against England would ramp up the American fan interest in the World Cup immediately.

“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.”

A successful World Cup for the US squad would do wonders to increase fan support for the Beautiful Game!
