World Cup: A chance of a lifetime indeed

The stakes are even higher when a football lover gets to see the World Cup opening match. I do not know how a Muslim feels after making that trip to Mecca or a Zion Christian Church (ZCC) member feels after the Easter trip to the Holy City of Moria, the feelings might not be the same but the satisfaction that you get after attending the pinnacle of football frenzy is up there with any other contentment.

The World Cup opening match brings together multitudes of football gods, Political leaders - cians and a myriad of spectators all lined up in a ritual to kick-start the world biggest spectacle. The opening game is fanfare supreme and as hosts of the 2010 World Cup, the South Africans had pulled out all the stops to ensure that this opening ceremony was Ayoba.
