We hooked up with Tom at the England-Algeria game. 64,000 soccer fans watched a defensive battle in a beautiful new stadium. Because the US team is in the same group, we were quite happy with the nil-nil draw. I've never seen so many grumpy Englishmen.
Security was tight. We were frisked and wanded for metals on the way in, which consumed quite a bit of time since the line was long. Police ringed the field, about one every 10 feet.
Green Point Stadium is named after
the neighborhood it resides in. It's also a very green stadium. Most of the seats are covered, while the field is open to the elements. The weather is beautiful, a rare treat in Cape Town whose weather, we are told, normally resembles that of Seattle.
