As everybody should know by now, South Africa will be hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup in June and July this year. Port Elizabeth is one of the proud host cities and matches will be played in the new Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The final draw for the tournament was done early in December and we found out that Germany, England and Portugal will all be playing in PE in the first round. Another one of the teams that will be in PE for a first round match is Korea Republic. They are in South Africa for a training camp at the moment and is playing a match in each of the stadiums they will be playing in during their first round matches. We were fortunate that they decided to play a game in PE against out First Division team Bay United. Unfortunately Umlilo was outplayed 3 goals to 1, but our locals boys didn’t do badly at all for a first division team playing a national team that has qualified for the World Cup.
A free kick just outside the Bay United (in blue and white) box with Korea (in red) on the attack
Moments later Korea attacked again and scored a magnificent goal. Just at that moment I was focused on the goalie and was very lucky to get this awesome shot with the goalie in mid air and the ball in the back of the net.
They should be proud.You really nailed that last shot, well done.
How fortunate you were to see this. Your team did good Jonker!
Wow! Great picture! Wish I could've gone to watch!
Cant help noticing the lack of spectators !! are the tickets too expensive or are the soccer fans not interested ???
Anonymous, the game was a friendly played on a work day morning in the middle of the week, so naturally there wouldn't have been many people. They also restricted the entrance to 5000 people for some reason.
sorry Firefly, I didnt know. Why did they restrict the entrances to 5000 only. It would have been a better idea to have the game played after working hours.
Great shot of the goalie in mid-air!!
