Today was our last day of preparation. Everything is in order at the stadium. We have our credentials, tickets, bibs, assignments, and tomorrow is Game One. We will actually be photographing game two. As is customary the host nation opens 
the tournament. South Africa will host Mexico at the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg. Soccer City will also be the venue for the Final a month from now. With the opening match kicking off at 4PM we hope to slip into our home pitch the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town for the Uruguay v France match on empty streets as we suspect all eyes will be on the televisions to witness the match in J'burg. So what better to do to get rid of the opening night jitters on the eve of the largest sporting event in the world? Go to the driving range! Our hosts here at the Dunvegan B&B are members of the Clovelly Country Club less than a mile walk from the house. Peter has graciously offered up use of his clubs to Lars (19 handycap). So I used the opportunity to vent some of my pent up energy by whacking some ball down the range. We only hope the weather will be this lovely when it comes time to photograph the football.
