Well lookie here now. It’s 11th June 2020.
5 years on from 11th June 2015. (But that’s not important right now.)
10 years on from 11th June 2010. And that was the first day of the Football World Cup in South Africa. Remember those halcyon days?
Remember that halcyon day? We went to the Waterfront and watched Bafana v Mexico in Joburg:
You know… the one with that goal:
…before heading to the stadium to watch Uruguay and France:
…and the hyperactive Uruguayan marking on the French dangerman.
On the way back to the car after the game, I distinctly remember us chatting about how dull the game had been and how in just a decade, we’d all be trapped inside in the midst of a global pandemic.
Weird how these things pan out, isn’t it?
Here are my images from that day.
And here is a warning that I think there might be a few more World Cup posts on here over the next month. Because present day reality sucks.
