Mexico:
An historical success: the player Javier Hernández Balcázar, also known as Chicharito (little pea), is Javier Hernández Gutiérrez son, known as Chicharo (pee) that was also selected for playing the World Cup 1986... but... is also the grandson of Tomás Balcázar! That has played the World Cup in 1954! :D
In the game Korea - Greece
The player Jisung Park, that plays with the nummber 7, has done the first goal in the minute 7th of the first part of the game... and the second one in the 7th. minute of the second part!
In the game Argentina – Nigeria
Nigeria was the one that made Argentina to loose the gold medal during the World Cup in 1996.
The only one goal of the game was done by Heinze, one of the players that people in Argentina were claiming that shouldn´t be part of this year World Cup Argentinean Selection.
Lodging
In some cities there are no enough hotels for the turists... so, some families are offering their own house with "packs" including meals. : D
Johannesburg Stadium
This is originally a rugby stadium, conditioned for being a soccer stadium during this World Cup. In this stadium was the game in 1995 that was the inspiration for the movie "Invictus".
Makarapas
Those are the "hats" the fans wear, not just for the World Cup, seems to be an older invention. It´s done using as base a plastic miner´s helmet, that is "tuned" for being some kind of personalized escenary for chearing your team. It´s also symbolic due mining is one of the most important economical activities in South Africa.
Here some pics:
England - USA
The first goal of the game was done by Gerrard, wearing the nummber 4... in the minute 4!! : D
The second goal is giving a lot of troubles to Green, before the game people in England wasn´t agree with him at the selection, after this error, everybody says it was a mistake to have him playing there. It´s sad, because yes, he did a mistake, but also a great job the rest of the game.
Slovenia
While watching the game, the commentators said there was a slovenian player that plays with FC Koln, that haven´t gone to an important training due a celebration party in Slovenia... just I´m afraid I didn´t got the name and I had search it in internet to confirm it, but haven´t find anything.
Zidane was watching the game suporting Argelia, here a pic crom elmundo.com:
Ghezzal made a new record!
I´m afraid he choosed the worst waty to get into history! He got a yellow card a minute after getting in the camp... but also the red one at the 12th. minute! :(
Slovenia won
Not just their first game during this World Cup, but also in their World Cups´ history.
