Many said it could not been done.
But, South Africa did it and the African country did it in style.
Bravo to South Africa.
South Africa’s anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela crowned his country’s World Cup with an appearance on the field at the closing ceremony as 700 million viewers tuned to watch Spain’s 1-0 victory over Netherlands.
Some of the world’s top soccer nations were eliminated.
Among those were Brazil, Argentina, Britain and Portugal.
Spain had never won the World Cup.
Mandela has cancelled on the June 11 opener when his 13-year-old granddaughter was killed in a car crash.
The closing ceremony was a treat.
The moment inevitably recalled South Africa’s 1995 rugby World Cup victory when Mandela donned the jersey of the nation’s mainly white Springboks, in a moment now seen as a symbol of national healing.
