World Cup craze hits Batswana

Being the biggest soccer showpiece on the globe, the World Cup never comes without much hype and fanfare as soccer lovers and other well-wishers go all the way behind their nations to give them support and cheer them on, hoping they will ultimately win and return home with the coveted trophy.

The fans, sometimes referred to as the 12th player on the field of play, can do amazing and hilarious things just to demonstrate the support and loyalty they have for their national teams. Painting faces, and buying replica jerseys in national colours have long been the tradition for any supporter at this spectacular event.  There is no doubt that South Africa will successfully host the first ever soccer World Cup finals to be played on African soil.
