This one, 2., lol .. is extra good .. Affable Afrikaners ..



Not known for their love of footballers (or anyone else for that matter), the lost White Tribe of Africa take the No. 1 spot purely for their stoicism. Having had their rugby ground in Pretoria stolen by the World Cup (their beloved Blue Bulls had to play the Super 15 final in Soweto just before the big kickoff) our bearded friends (men and women) have somehow taken this whole African festival of footie on the chin.

Having just read a particularly nasty little fascist newspaper called “The Afrikaner,” which offers only the prospect of post-Apartheid apocalypse, I swear this is true: When Paraguay bored the pants off Japan at Loftus Versfeld last week, a family of Afrikaners were attempting to master the Vuvuzela in front of me. The mum just couldn’t get it right. She sounded like a chronic case of flatulence. So the black couple next to them offered to help, as well as the black kids further along. By the end of the game they were taking pictures of each other in warm embrace. The mum told me afterward: “That was such fun. I’ve never really been to a social event with blecks.”

And that was just one incident among dozens. Onbewaarbaar (that’s unbelievable in Afrikaans).

BTW, yesterday i signed up for the bleacher report 2010 World Cup Newsletter

Here is a story i swear is true. About two weeks before World Cup 2010, I heard a lady on
Sydney talk-back radio warn everybody not to go. It was toooo dangerous for travelers, she said.
