Opening day of World Cup...in your words

Facebook is F'n addictive, right?  But the thing I love about it the most is that it gives you a little bit of chatter as to how people are feeling right here, right now.  In the spirit of gathering the vibe of what's happening in SA and around the world on the opening day of the World Cup...I decided to take all the relevant status updates people posted and compile a list.  In this way I hope you can get a more complete idea of how people were feeling here on that day :)  


I will also post a summary of the last 2 days juuuuuust now, but for now...enjoy this :)  
If you need a translation...holla!
