@daraj123 Yeah NZ were food poisoned dawg. how are they not going to show our players spewing on the field man?

[daraj123]

oh and doos, there are people still waving the flags, where have you been, even the last world cup here in europe 4 years ago, you could see the flag all the time, jy is a regter doos jou puss

This south african is talking shit in, the film is part based on facts or should i say PART - Facts are with or without nelson mandela south africa can and will always be a top competing nation, they were gr8 even b4 mandela was born. Its nice 2 think mandela helped but nothing can b further from the truth. Shows how hollywood can make people dumb, nice film, would have been just as good if it was fictional - Avatar is more realistic than this "so called" factual story -

why hasnt mandela helped the black african team bafana bafana win any world cups, if he has such super powers like was made out in this film, then they should hav won the last 4 world cups? Because they R shit, the SA team has notoriously been great, its wasnt mandela, & francois pinaar will say anything - how come the team after him won it, where is madela then? Look u can believe what ever you want 2, this is a part factual film with a loved politician with half truths, get a book and learn

And why shouldn't they be? It will promote our game, it's a moving story........ AND, I believe the producers sponsored the on-line coverage of Canada-Russia this fall.
