World Cup!!!

I managed to get a ticket to the England Slovenia game at the last moment.

Started the trek to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium at about 1:30pm, went to a nearby park and ride, took about 10 minutes to walk from the drop-off point to the gates. About 15 minutes queueing to get to security and about 3 minutes to get through. Was seated just after 3pm. The organisation was great. No queues for beer either!

England won 1-0 in a rather dull game. The buzz in the stadium was amazing, of the 40,000 people, 36,000 were England supporters. The singing England fans drowned out the vuvuzelas.

I had a great seat, on the halfway line, 7 rows from the field. Stadium is amazing!

Thanks to Craig for organizing the ticket.
