Worker mowing the grass at Soccer City in Johannesburg, just before the Argentina-Mexico game. When we got to a big game at a facility such as this, during the world cup, we often forget that the boys who kick the ball are not the only professionals that make it possible. There a lot of people with a lot of different skills involved it creating the 'beautiful game'.

Morning.
Two old historical foes will duke it again since their last major international confrontation in 1996 (Euro Cup). One will be eliminated. The other will advance, two stages closer to the Cup.
Cannot predict which team will make it out alive today. England has been knocked out by Germany since 1968 (while England has defeated them consistently previous years). This is going to be suspenseful to both of the team's fans. Hooligans already made their way to South Africa with anti-Germany slogans. Security on high alert for the game's post aftermath.
Once again, Robert Green (England) will not be playing goalie for today either... and likely never again. Instead, the grand tall David James will be goalie for today's intense match.
Germany will be adorned in black and white, England will be dressed up in, what many are calling it, their "lucky" red kit (which brought them the Cup win back in... 1966. The win the English has ever made since and, which soon, is seen as an omen).
Current scores now as of writing this...
Germany 01 / England 00
Uff! Score by Germany 20th minute into the game.
Double uff. Germany scores again. 32th minute into the game. Toasting the muffins.
Germany 02 / England 00
Ooooh, England scores!
Germany 02 / England 01
! It's only 35 minutes into the game! Thrilling, folks. Simply thrilling.
Just moments before half time England made another CLEAR goal, as the ball just bounces off the gate and inches past the boundary (replays show it's legit), but did not get counted! Referee did not see it as being a clear goal as the rest of the world and cameras did.
"It's the curse of 1966," says one of the commentators.

This afternoon.
Argentina will battle it out with Mexico (underdog) for the quarter-quarter finals. I cannot see how Argentina can lose (with their flawless streak of wins so far). Their games have been made with effortless wins ("Yeah, he scores"). Perhaps Mexico will kick the game up with a sudden ambush?
It's not a game with an equilibrium. While both sides can say with confidence who will easily win.
Koreans gathered at Wudaokou to watch the worldcup game between S.Korea and somebody else. They were dressed up like red devils, singing and yelling and clapping hands all together, so that I felt they could go to fight as soldiers at any second.
Finally, Korean team won the game and that spot was consequently boiled by the red devils. Cops came. They didn't stop anybody from getting excited but tried to push the group to a corner. Some white and black guys also joined Korean fans and they found Korean girls were much easy to approach at that moment.
Then I wished I could have a big gun, because my tiny camera can't handle this exciting situation in the darkness. What a pity.
