It happened last year! One of the happiest day of my life..to be able to watch the match between Italy vs Brazil..That was the Pre World Cup Tournament the Confederation Cup...what more to say..I'm at the correct place and at the correct time. The Loftus Versfeld stadium (one of the World Cup 2010 venue) is just 6km away from the lodge I'm staying. Been looking forward to the match since I've arrived at Pretoria 2 months and the ticket's been sold out before I have arrived and realized. Well I believe that hardwork and optimism pays...and finally I got the ticket..to add for the icing, it's FREE...Category 1 (grandstand) ticket worth USD100..well..that's very lucky then..ok nuff of stories..photos of football superstars to be followed as below with 'match commentary'.
