You do know if you Google “fifa live scores” you get a completely live score card showing all current games being played? Without making another click! It shows it as the first result! I swear. Check. Looks like North Korea won’t be getting any football coverage on TV today.. Pretty cool, hey? What’s more, […]
Just when you though they couldn’t push it any further – Nando’s take ambiguity to the next level, offering “free coke” to the South Americans. Given South America’s propensity for making and selling cocaine to the rest of the world, one might think Nando’s are giving away the odd gram with their chicken burgers. Apparently […]
As the official Cape Town 2010 World Cup Blog (Oooh! Whatcha gonna do with that one, FIFA?) we are always completely knocked out when a music video and song about Cape Town stands out from the rest. Even more so when it leaves us humming it all day long! These cats did this song and […]
We Gave It A Good Go.. [source:timeslive] The Silence Of The Vuvuzelas – An inspired Diego Forlan scored twice as World Cup hosts South Africa’s hopes of progressing to the knockout stage suffered a heavy blow with a 3-0 loss to Uruguay on Wednesday.

Afternoon everyone, and a happy Youth Day to you crazy, crazy youth. Let’s have a quick chat about vuvuzelas. They’re loud, really loud. In fact at 131 decibels, they’re louder than: A screaming baby A chain saw A starting gun A jackhammer Most taxis in Woodstock Gareth Cliff The Mouille Point Foghorn The Noon Gun […]
Product endorsements and commercialisation aside; aligning yourself with another nation and singing for their victory in a tournament which is being held on your home soil (a tournament in which your own country is competing), may well be the final straw for Parlotones fans. “Aligning” might be a bit tame. By the looks of their […]
A great deal of fuss has been made by FIFA regarding the sanctity of its brand, and the brands of its official partners in the run up to the World Cup. A great deal of counter-fuss has been made by the brands who were left outside of the World Cup money machine fraternity. So it’s […]
I remember when Herschelle Gibbs used to amuse us at school, by kicking a rugby ball high up into the air, and then positioning himself for where the ball will go after it hits the ground – usually straight into his hands. He also once drop-kicked a ball over the Piley Reese poles, from the […]
Mario’s, a popular Italian restaurant on Main Road in Green Point is on fire, and not in the positive, figurative kind of way.
You might have heard about this, but haven’t managed to find it online. Or maybe you don’t know about it at all, in which case I am confident you will thoroughly enjoy it! Check it out: By Peter Davies 09/06/2010 Dear World Cup visitors, Now that you are safely in our country you are no […]
People think I’m against ALL cyclists. Not true. It’s just the dicks I don’t enjoy. The guys who wear their helmets whilst dining at the table next to me. The 60 year old men who look like the aliens from District 9 (hence their nickname “prawns”) clearly exposing their balls under a thin layer of […]
There’s going to be an awful lot of tension regarding referee calls, and the dubious opinions of your fellow spectators this afternoon, and indeed for the rest of the tournament. To avoid unnecessary conflict, and to make sure that your opinion is valued above all others this World Cup, get your hands on this little […]
We all know Nelson. We all love Nelson. Nelson’s gonna be at the opening ceremony this arvi, and by all predictions, he should be there for a wopping fifteen minutes or so. Why so little? Well, he happens to be a little shagged out from dedicating his life to reasoned argument, armed struggle, brutal imprisonment […]

Tomorrow, we face el Mexicanos in an epic footballing battle. Let’s get to know our enemy, shall we?
Green Point is ramping up the killer World Cup vibes. Most of us frenzied Capetonian vibers will already know this, but those of you from outta-town will most definitely appreciate this vibe. You know the London Eye? Well…
“They” come out with hundreds of thousands of new apps every month and, very often, they’re rubbish – often making use of some of the iPhones hardware unnecessarily. Not this time. I found this little gem which will be very handy for our 2010 WC visitors wanting to take a break and catch a flick. […]
I grabbed a burger at Hudson’s last night and ran into the owner, Dave. He informed me that the place above Hudsons, The Saasveld Lodge, still had availability for the World Cup. So if you’ve got mates coming to town who aren’t able to make use of the ridiculous deals being offered at my primary […]

Bafana Frenzy – “Let them bring their Mexican wave – we will bring vuvuzelas!” was the war cry of nearly 185000 South African fans who lined the streets of Johannesburg yesterday in support of Bafana Bafana. In return for the massive support shown them, the national squad vowed to play not only for former president […]
The Soccer World Cup will attract some 350 000 foreign visitors our shores. Most of them are already arriving, and you can bet they’ll be bringing their national idiosyncrasies with them. Today, we offer a sincere prayer that no fun-loving Dutch fans bring this quirky bit of fan paraphernalia with them, or they WILL be […]
You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]
Ok I think we need to get the flags on the car mirrors, gang – at the very least. A word of caution – check the size before you buy them. I bought my first pair and they were too small. They will now be given to The Muse, whose MG has smaller mirrors than […]
Local white fellow, teaching Richard Branson how to play the vuvuzale. Stunning! Well done, TK and Vusi! And to you, Sir Rick..

Bafana Bafana continue to improve our vibe ahead of the world cup – this time by owning Guatemala in a record 5-0 win. Sure, there may have been three penalties in the mix (two of which were moderately questionable), but the other two goals were genuinely gnarly. Anyhow, while most of the country and all […]
Were you there on the day they shot this? Or maybe your girlfriend was, with another guy? Or maybe your boyfriend said he was using his spare season ticket to take a friend. Which friend exactly did he take? Not that we should turn this into something sinister! It’s just completely amazing technology they are […]
