Proud to be inconvenienced

As hosts of the 2010 World Cup, South Africans are having a wonderful time sharing their home with the world. It's three weeks into the tournament, and we are bursting with pride that our visitors say they are having a great time here.

This sms was sent to me two and a half hours before the Spain/Portugal quarter final starts. Sent by a friend who lives near the Cape Town Stadium, it's the fourth time in two weeks he's been almost unable to get home from work in the evening....

The traffic congestion doesn't matter. The swelling national pride that we're getting it right for the world is what really matters.
Love that idea!

Viva Espana ... thank you for not putting us through another penalty shoot-out. My heart couldn't take two in one evening!

You have every reason to be proud as hosts. I love to watch the world cup. I did it four years ago when Germany hosted and I do it this year in South Africa. Even my husband who has no clue about the rules is sitting tight. Great games and great atmosphere.

You have every right to feel proud. You're being an excellent host - even to those who haven't left their own lounge rooms!
