It is frightening that time passes so quickly. I watched a short video of Shakira singing the theme of the 2010 World Cup, together with some of the programs reminding us of the event last year, and I think I would be happier if I did not watch them! It made me sad, because it was a tremendously exciting time in our country, and it is gone now, and the next big event, if there is to be one, is so far away that it is somewhat depressing. It makes one happier that you committed to your 7 games, and went to everyone of them and stayed up all night in freezing temperatures, because when you do get those opportunities, you need to make the most of them – they don’t come around often, if ever, and I can always feel privileged that I attended the World Cup Final and lived and breathed the atmosphere for 4 weeks. Other memories include my staff all going out onto the road, about 4 or 5 hours before the opening game between Bafana Bafana and Mexico, and singing the National Anthem. Jan Smuts was ablaze with flags, hooting cars and more. I just hope we as a country find something else to bid on for soon!
