Images of Cape Town's World Cup Vibe

My cousin sent me the following photographs taken in Cape Town, South Africa during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He says, "The spirit is electric here. You can just feel it all around!" Everyone blows their vuvuzelas and shows their support for their team, Bafana Bafana (though they have been eliminated now). "Football Fridays" were taking place during the weeks preceding the World Cup, when everyone wore their football shirts.

My family (mother's side) went to the first game at the Greenpoint Stadium, France vs. Uruguay as well as Italy vs. Paraguay. They will also be attending the semifinal at the Cape Town stadium. Don't we all wish we were there right now?

These pictures bring out the vibe and action of this big event taking place halfway around the world. Enjoy!
