Football Friday
It’s Football Friday today, in fact every Friday for the last couple of months and the next couple have been unofficially designated as Football Friday.
My first recollection of Football Friday was probably January, I recall a female talk show host on Radio SAFM suggesting that people wear football shirts on Fridays in anticipation of the World Cup, almost everybody is doing it!

No Aussies!
‘Residents up in arms over Aussie invasion’, read the headline in yesterday’s Sunday Times.
Apparently the good people of Durban (well at least one of them, maybe two) are concerned that an invasion of sorts is on the cards.
FIFA 2010 – 2 million tickets sold
There are approximately 3million tickets on offer for this years Football World Cup to be held in South Africa during June and July.
Having already sold two thirds of them must surely be a feather in the cap for the organisers. I of course have applied for 14 of them
