There were no weapons of mass destruction visible in their team and no axis of evil playing up front. They could have done with both, as it turned out.
But before we got to the game, we had the Fan Walk and train journey. The weather wasn't great that day, so the atmosphere wasn't as great as it would have been otherwise, but there were still street dancers, drum players, singing and a million people. Okay, maybe not that many, but a hundred thousand at any rate.
On the fanwalk: Cath, Jan and Louis - above right.
Later along the fanwalk: the food and souvenir stalls and we saw this youngster trying her best to get a note out of her vuvuzela.
Outside Cape Town Stadium, World Cup tickets in hand.
About to go inside...
Showing our gees.
AND THEN INSIDE....
Wow. That's about all you can say when you go in for the first time.
I have been to stadiums in England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Wales, Holland, Germany and Ireland.
But this took my breath away.
The stadium, is, quite simply... amazing.
More signs of our gees. I went with Korea, i just couldn't side with .... it's difficult to describe him without coming across as a homo-phobe... Ronaldo. I hate him so very, very much.
Cath wanted to make it clear that even though she supported Portugal here (she had Portugal's flag on her othercheek), she was primarily supporting Bafana, who weren't given a Cape Town match.
Jan n Louis.
Coming soon: part 2 - the game.
