All tied up!

Sea of Dutch orange in Green Point Stadium...small patches of Uruguay blue in each endzone. Holland goes up 1-0 in 18th minute off a 30-yard left-footed screamer of a goal by captain Giovanni Van Bronckhorst. Not to be outdone, Uruguayan captain-for-the-night Diego Forlan whips a 30-yarder with his left on the other end in the 41st minute to tie it up. 1-1 as we approach halftime.

Uruguay hasn't been this far in 40 years. Amazing story.

It's getting wild in Cape Town!!

The scene on the streets of Cape Town: Thousands of orange-clad Dutch fans, singing and chanting...kids, grandparents, you name it. Wearing orange scarves, hats of every kind, feather boas, boots, clogs, overalls. Lost in the sea of orange are the Uruguayan fans, most of them with their blue and white flags draped over their shoulders. Party has been going on since noon, and game is still hours away..here are some photos...
