We used to sing a "Here We Go" song at IU soccer games, I think. With turnover of some of the Superfans, traditions change or are lost altogether. But I'm singing that song to myself on the eve of our trip to South Africa.
Barry had a long travel day yesterday, but landed in Indy just ahead of schedule at about 10:20 pm. We're finally leaving for the World Cup today, after more than a year of planning. We're almost packed. During the past couple of days I have been shopping to get things we need, including ear plugs, face paints, and faux hard hats from which we can try to make Makarapas. We already own IU vuvuzelas which conveniently collapse to fit in a suitcase.
One of the blog followers has asked for our match schedule, so here it is:
Saturday 6/19: Ghana v. Australia; Royal Bafokeng, Rustenburg
Sunday 6/20: Brazil v. Côte d'Ivoire; Soccer City, Johannesburg
Thursday, 6/24: Cameroon v. Netherlands; Green Point, Cape Town
Sunday, 6/27: 1D v. 2C; Free State, Bloemfontein
Monday, 6/28: 1G v. 2H; Ellis Park, Joburg
Friday, 7/2: Quarterfinals - Winner of match 49 v. Winner of 50; Soccer City, Joburg
