Fly The Flag Day – Call to Celebrate!
Three million tickets.
64 matches.
32 teams.
450 000 international visitors.
A global television audience of 26 billion viewers.
48 million proud Bafana Bafana supporters.
We’re talking serious soccer. World Cup stuff.
Today, 2 March 2010 is Fly the Flag Day. After reading this I must admit I was a bit confused as to what exactly fly the flag means. It all seems very patriotic and I could picture planes with humongous SA flags trailing behind them. Not quite. It simply means show the flag off in any way you possibly can.
Why? Today marks 100 days to the World Cup.
There are many ways in which you can show your support and enthusiasm as this calls for some serious celebration:

I love the dance, so cute!
The dance looks quite complicated, will have a few rehearsals
Quite a few rehearsals. If the Phuthu girls are going to perform this dance at the opening of the World Cup – I mean, anything is possible! – we’ll need to really get down! We need to walk like girls but dance like them soccer dudes.
Practice it at Zumba!
Oh, we are! Will have to leave the hip rolls at home for this very special event! Might just give the visitors the wrong impression…
