I think the quarterfinals will be enjoyable to watch. Because my family is going to watch the games with other relatives . I am tired to watch the games with them, they are commenting badly about my favorite players. The way they comment, they think it will help the players to play well. But I am also going to make a change and watch soccer at my friend’s place. Bongiwe has her own TV and there we can watch nicely. We are family friends and I can stay over. I am sick and tired of my brother, who knows everything. He has his own township soccer team and thinks he is a star. He screams when they do not make a goal. My father does not want us to blow the vuvuzela, it can hurt the mouth. At the beginning we did, but not all of us.

I am so frustrated about the African teams. They did not perform very well. But I believe Ghana will represent us good in the quarterfinals. I did not expect them to win and move into this round. My friends are betting who will qualify and take the cup. When they asked me I always said South Africa will take it, now i support the Afrian team. In my heart I so wish that an African team can just take the world cup, if it is held on African soil. Even tough miracles might happen, I dont know. I will still be a supporting fan who has hope aiming high. May the best team win.

PS. She is not allowed to watch TV in her room, because she came home late…Aber das sagte sie nur, auf Fragen
