Sweden Support Shines
On Sunday evening Sweden played South Africa in the FIFA Women's World Cup. It seemed hard to fathom how come Sweden had so many more visable fans at the match at Wellington Regional Stadium than did SA
Afterall there are thousands of former South Africans living in the Wellington region and only a handful of Swedes.
The spectators ambled past me in my volunteering role. Apparantly some 19,000 turned up - many if them children of all ages.
Then I looked at the South African players and coach and they were a complete contrast to that of the Swedish team. And without going into details therein may lie the reason for much less fanfare given by locals to one of the sides in a closely contested game with the heavily favoured Swedes winning 2-1 with rheir secong goal coming in the last few minutes of play. The SA team had played well above its ranking and deserved a lot of credit.
The weather too did not favour the SA side. Cold and wet.
