Grand opening of Orlando Stadium

Ask and it shall be given to you. The draw for Confederations Cup 2009 has been made and my gosh what a draw indeed. Bafana Bafana are in group A with Spain, New Zealand and Iraq. Group B is Brazil, Italy, Egypt and USA.

I know that we fancy Bafana to go through to the semis cause of their group. I want to warn Bafana not to take Iraq and New Zealand lightly because they are dangerous. I want to applaud minister of transport Mr. Jeff Radebe for investing R170 billion in transport.

I think it’s about time our roads and airports to be fixed. Back to business, Orlando Stadium was officially opened and goals were galore just like Moroka Swallows vs. Kaizer Chiefs in the 80s were ten goals were scored in one game.

What a beautiful stadium and it’s so big, accommodate 40 000 people. On Saturday night 30 000 diski lovers attended, wow what a turn out. Orlando Pirates beat Thanda Royal Zulu 4-2 in the first game at the re-opened of the stadium. I want to say job well done for rebuilding our kasi stadium and hope that the parking lot will be enlarged too.

I hope we keep on parking the stadiums and get behind our teams. We wanted the big teams to compete and they are giving you exactly that. I mean there’s only 3 points difference from number 1 to number 6. It shows that now big teams have waken up and want to make a mark.

Orlando Stadium is now here so no excuses of not going to watch games. I wish the next Soweto Derby be played there. Thanx diski lovers and please comment on our Diskioff blog.
