Jo’Burg Day 2: Brazil v. Cote d’Ivoire @ Soccer City

Sunday, June 20

Johannesburg, RSA

Our thoughts on the game:  It was so fun! So loud!!! We had earplugs in an hour before kick off.  They had fun stadium food – mash and gravy!  Because they were a FIFA sponsor, there was only Bud in the stadium!  We were rooting for Africa teams so we were sad that Ivory Coast lost (3:1), but glad that we got to see the powerhouse Brazil play, as well as Drogba play! In the end we saw four goals, a red card and an end of game scuffle!

In USA gear! (Thanks Thadd!)

Now the stadium is full!

Brazil fans in front of us:

Let’s get this show on the road!

It got cold! 

Even though Africa lost, it was a fun and celebratory train ride back to the city center.

When we got back to Park Station, there were no cabs in the queue, so we called Thibiele and she came and picked us up and took us home after a great day!
