| #13 The closest I had been to either country was having gone to Aruba once. So I was rooting for Clockwork Oranje. Is Arjen Robben on suicide watch? That poor cat thought he had it, but for a kick-save by the goalie. |

| #12 At first I wasn't sure who to root for since I don't have any ancestral ties to either country, but I ended up going through the same thought process/conclusion as Bodyguard (humble thanks for your service, BTW). I had to miss it due to family obligations, though. |

| #5 A snoozer of a game. As in, I fell asleep watching it. And I was watching at a bar with like 50 other people. They were getting up and going near the end and after the end, it was not a particularly exciting example of soccer. |

| #4 A colourful, multicult extravaganza to be certain. We can be thankful there were no terrorist incidences. Good intelligence, planning, and vigilance paid off once again. The chanting, less symbolic banging of shields added a bit of local character. Seeing Zuma and oud Madiba bobbing about did little for me however. All in all a nice international diversion fot starving masses, 35% unemployment, plaasmoordee (farm murders) and land seizures. |
