South Africa Bafana Bafana not in the finals but what a FIFA 2010 Legacy

As I said in my blog post dd 11 June 2010, ultimately it's about the journey not necessarily about who wins or loses.

Bafana Bafana did what they could to play as best they can.  They scored some goals, including the first goal of the World Cup.  They lost a few points.  They haven't made it to the final 16.  It's a pity BUT as South Africans we feel no defeat - we earned the right to host these games; we are hosting them with great pride and unity; we are putting on quite a spectacular, colourful show. 

We have law enforcement that has moved swiftly where it's been required.  To date, we have had no major incidents that so many of our detractors love to focus on and milk for all its worth.

We had a Plan B when the FIFA 2010 stewards decided to strike and didn't alow that to affect the games.  We have built world-class stadiums, and other infrastructure.  We have been flying our flags and wearing all the soccer paraphernalia.

Our spirits have been lifted.

Our FIFA 2010 team haven't made it to the finals.  So what.  We are still the proud hosts of this great event, and we are still supporting South Africa and still participating in the games.  And we are proud of the effort Bafana Bafana made and we're proud of their accomplishments.

There is a great Power Point presentation circulating - worth watching.  "It does not matter that we did not qualify". Send your e-mail address in "comments" and I'll forward it to you if you haven't seen it.

A call to continue to rally around our soccer spirit.

Here's good news coverage and a positive view from the BBC.

We don't need a miracle in this great event - we have had a miracle already, and it's up to us now to continue to live in the spirit and unity that the games brought out in us.
