2010 was my first in person FIFA World Cup. My experience was what I thought it would be. The atmosphere at the Brazil v. Cote D’Ivoire game was super excellent. I got a Brazil facemask and flag. I got to use a mini-vuvuzela at the Brazil v. Cote D’Ivoire game. The Cote D’Ivoire fans were in little groups. There was a sea of Brazil fans, even a whole band and we were close to it.
The Argentina v. South Korea game had one of the ten best atmospheres of this World Cup. Gonzalo Higuain scored a hat-trick. Neither Messi nor Tevez scored a goal. But the score was 4-1. The fourth goal was an own-goal by a South Korean player. Tevez hit the crossbar on a crackin’ shot.
The US v. England game had an atmosphere that was magnificent! We were sitting with about 500 USA fans. There was this banner that had “1776, 1812, 1950, and 2010.†The banner told when the USA has beaten England before. The score was 1-1 at the finish. The US v. England game was at the Royal Bafokeng stadium in Rustenburg.
The US v. Slovenia game was at Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg. The US vs Slovenia game was super excellent. At half time Solvenia was winning 2 to 0, but the US in the second half made a great comeback. The US scored 3 goals but the third goal was taken away by the ref, but it was a bad call. The game ended at 2 to 2 – a tie.
The France v. Uruguay game was the most boring game I went to. The score was 0 to 0. The game was in the Cape Town Stadium. The Cape Town Stadium is named Green Point. We went on two buses to get there. I had a good seat. It was a night game and I fell asleep in the second half.
The Spain v. Honduras game was super, super, super excellent. The score was 2 Spain to 0 Honduras. Just like the Brazil v. IvoryCoast game there were islands of Honduras fans and a sea of Spain fans. David Villa scored both goals for Spain. The soccer playing was great!
All six games were really fun and amazing! I really wanted to go to the Cup and have a fun time.
