For the locals in J’Burg what’s the weather going to do around kick-off time, I think we’d all prefer a dry track.

Howzit mate & welcome back!

I’m presently about 13km away from the stadium and it’s very gloomy & wet outside; however I I read (on this site) yesterday that it’s expected to clear in the afternoon; I’ll keep you posted.

BrumbiesBoy on 25 July 2015 at 12:47 pm

Right, outta here & leaving for Ellis shortly.

Kiwis, I shall go & welcome your fellow countrymen off their bus.

It’s the least I can do…

Good luck to both teams.

NZ Soccer has been disqualified from certain Rio Olympic Games Qualification because we played an a Saffa (who has lived here since the age of 4 yrs.) against The Solomon Islands.

The pain you mothers cause us, knows no bounds.
