...and the World Cup was in my backyard!

Only yesterday, the FIFA World Cup, South Africa  2010 ended with much colour and excitment. The past month has been a buzz for football followers. As the games were in my backyard, I toke the opportunity of an appointment in one of the host cities to join in a match day's frenzy. I did not travel with my camera and so I had to employ the use of a mobile phone and the generosity of a friend's camera to capture the moments in 2D. I have decided to blog some of my photos  below.

EVENT: World Cup 2010, 3rd place match, Germany v Uruguay.
DATE: 10th July, 2010.
LOCATION: The "Sunflower", Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
