The Fans Fascinate Me

SOUTH AFRICAN

One of the things that I love most about the World Cup are the fans. They're nothing like the docile groups of the elite effete who seem to make their way to the Olympics (a gross over-simplification, to be sure). Which isn't to say that they aren't well connected, the air fare alone for this contest would be setting them back a pretty penny. It's just that they seem so 'everyman' enthusiastic. Willing to done all manner of face painting and flag waving until their arms just give out. And as it's winter in South Africa and cool to at times chilly depending on your venue, they've even taken to waving their scarves!
