We experienced the generosity of Africa's spirit

With the exception of the soccer, everything about this World Cup was amazing. Africa has opened her heart to all the visitors from afar and showed the generosity of a special continent. As old as the human race and with rhythms that you can feel run through the packed Calabashe (Soccer City - as magnificent arena as I have seen), Africa has shown her warmth. The opening ceremony was well planned. Even the lack of coordinated movements felt right and the amazing computer animation on the pitch showed a continent that can use technology as good if not better than any-one. This is why it is such a pity that FIFA could not rise to the occasion. It is clear that the superstars of the game are tired or just arrogant, the officials are scared because of the lack of technology and the game-plans played un-inspiring.
