Right, quick one before kick off:
If it's live, you get used to the sound of vuvuzela's in 10 min. I fell asleep to the sound of them on the streets last night and I woke up to them this morning. On TV, yeah, annoying as fuck.
Lots of traffic outiside the stadium. I think the attendance was catered for, but no-one expected the number of people who just want to be close to the stadium.
Still shit to see a half empty stadium.
Crowds for all games in major cities will be great. Some far flung places like Rustenburg were a bad idea from the start and will see some crap crowds. Locals can afford tickets, but FIFA usually insist on credit card purchases by someone attending only. Millions here have the cash but not the card. They went over the counter but it was a bit late.
Anyway, the streets are buzzing, the sound of vuvuzelas is relentless no matter where you go, every single fucking person you see is smiling ear to ear, Africa is about to have it's World Cup!
