Memories from the World Cup in South Africa

[fridi]

Goal, goal, goooooal! No matter which language we use and which team we're rooting for, a football match provides 90 minutes of high adrenaline, tense drama, strong emotions, tactical surprises, hot temperament, unique skills and unreserved devotion.

"For me football is a religion. I worship the ball and the ball is my God!" says Pele.

Being on a World Cup is a privilege, and something that could be never forgotten. I am lucky to have been on the World Cup in South Africa.

"The distance between Heaven and Hell is a minute of space", says Josep Guardiola.

There'll be more, but here's a small task: can you guess the score from these two matches? :)

I hate vuvuzelas.
Sorry, that's the first thing I thought of. XD
It looked really exciting though.

Most people who watched it on TV do hate vuvuzelas.
Not surprisingly, most people who were on the stadium love vuvuzelas.
