South Africa vs. Uruguay
On the first day of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Johannesburg's Soccer City will make history by being the first African stadium to host a match in the finals when South Africa's national team takes on Mexico. Those familiar with the venue will see immediately the funds, labour & hard work that has been invested in transforming it from it’s original structure to the architectural eye-candy that it's turned in to.
Now sporting a new look - a Calabash shape that boasts a capacity of 88,000 spectators - the new Soccer City is, in comparison, plush, posh & imposing. But the history remains for Radebe. “You know, running inside this stadium gives me goose-bumps. I now feel jealous. I wish I was 10 years more youthful so that I can be one playing against Mexico.
Uruguay's classy enforcer
Garra charrúa is the term Uruguayans use for that quality of gritty determination that any self-respecting Uruguay side, one preparing for the FIFA World Cup™ finals, must have in their DNA.
The key ingredients are hard work, intensity & some hard tackling, with shielding & sacrifice coveted ahead of touch & method. In the Uruguay team it falls to the central midfielder over somebody to match this sterotype, or at least it did before Walter Gargano came on to the scene.
The coach has also been working to be sure the right amound of grit in the Uruguayan blend. "He wishes us to be hard but fair. There were several qualifying games where they completed with ten men, & that additional man is a massive advantage in footy today, in a World Cup."
