Bafana Bafana vs. The Zebras
There is no doubt that soccer/football is the most popular sport in the world. It is a sport that unites nations together. This is especially true for African countries when it comes to world cup games. Furthermore, it helps to unite immigrants in foreign countries when their national teams compete I personally have never been to a soccer game but always wanted to. My wish came true when I got to go to the 2014 Word Cup qualifier match between South Africa vs. Botswana on Saturday. The South African team is nicknamed "Bafana Bafana," which means "Go boys." The Botswana team is called "The Zebras." Even though "The Zebras" never made it past the qualifiers, the country came out in full support. It seemed that the whole nation was present at the stadium, singing their national anthems and playing their vuvuzelas.To them, their country playing at a national level is analogous to your team playing in Superbowl or the NBA Finals. People started preparing for the game weeks before. Maybe one day they will make make the Word Cup just like the Ivory Coast did in 2006 (maybe Bono can then do a commentary on Botswana). On the day of the match, there were tailgating gatherings everywhere. The atmosphere in the stadium was amazing with everyone armed with their plastic trumpets (It is an African tradition to blow vuvuzelas at football matches. I wanted one so bad) It was an eye-opening experience to see everyone so passionate about their national teams and watching star players like Steven Peinaar play for their country. Although the game ended in a 1-1 draw, the full 90 minutes were filled with excitement and happiness. In essence, it was nothing like I have seen before.
