Many fans came to South Africa by various means of transport to cheer on their favourite team.

On the afternoon of June 11, the eyes of football fans from all over the world converged on the Johannesburg Football City Stadium, where the grand opening ceremony of the World Cup will take place!

After the opening ceremony, there will be the opening match - the host South Africa vs. Mexico!

This tournament will kick off the quadrennial World Cup!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Johannesburg Football City Stadium, which can seat more than 90,000 people, was overcrowded, and guests gathered on the rostrum.

More than 50 national dignitaries, senior FIFA executives, senior football associations of all continents, and South African President Jacob Zuma and other prominent figures appeared.

Mandela is said to be present at the opening ceremony, and everyone is waiting for it.

Nelson? Nelson Mandela is a hero of South Africa and an icon of the whole world. In his 92-year career, he has been fighting for the elimination of apartheid.

He is as tenacious and brave as a lion, and he talks and laughs freely in his small prisons; At the same time, he is as compassionate as a wild goose, and forgives all sins step by step.

Between Mandela and the stadium, there has always been an inseparable complex, a meaningful legend.

In the past 20 years, no matter how the world has changed, several stadiums in Johannesburg have always been shrines to Mr. Mandela. Prior to that, Mandela's two grand appearances at the stadium had a dramatic impact on South Africa's history.

In 1990, Mandela, who had just finished prison, gave his famous speech to 120,000 black compatriots at the Soweto Stadium, becoming one of the most famous speeches of the twentieth century. Luther? King's great speech was a perfect match.

At this moment, he is a national hero of South Africa.

In June 1995, Nelson Mandela, who had become South Africa's first black president, arrived at Joburg Ellis Park for the final of the Rugby World Cup.

Because of the apartheid system, rugby was seen as a sport exclusively for white people, and blacks scorned their national football team.

Mandela, on the other hand, was very generous in wearing the "Springbok" jersey of the South African rugby national team, and has been helping them out, and under the watchful eye of the president, the South African team won the world championship.

The 60,000 white spectators in attendance saluted Mandela with tsunami applause, and from that moment on, Mandela truly became the political leader of all of South Africa.

Fifteen years later, the weather-beaten old man will appear at the Cité Soccer Stadium.

"National heroes" are a thing of the past, and "political leaders" are old sayings; This time, he was just a messenger of love.

However, the legend was not seen, and it is said that his granddaughter died in a car accident and in extreme grief he had to be absent from the opening ceremony.

Five planes flew over the Johannesburg Soccer City stadium with a loud vuvuzzula sound from the stands.

Soon after, the opening ceremony officially began!

South Africa's most famous poet of praise, Mahiwa, walked into the stadium and exclaimed: "The historic moment has come, African brothers, today we reinvent history as our land is about to welcome the World Cup ......"

Then, the opening ceremony with strong African characteristics officially began, and the Latin diva Characi long-line the theme song she created for the World Cup, "Waka! waka！ , detonated the whole audience, detonated the whole world!

With the World Cup coming to Africa and under the clear night sky of Joburg Football City, South Africans can finally blow their vuvuzzula and shout for their "Bafana" at home, which is enough for South Africa, which gives the World Cup a more significant and complex meaning.

The slightly rough architecture of the Soccer City Stadium, with its barely embellished winding aisles, seemed to be an outlier from the interior of many world-class stadiums – it wanted to show a sense of strength and ruggedness, a feeling that rematched the muscular and passionate opening ceremony that followed.

Brilliant fireworks have immersed South Africa and the whole world in joy, the quadrennial World Cup has come, who will dominate this World Cup?

Who will be the final winner of this World Cup?

Will it be Argentina led by Maradona, or Spain, the new European Cup winners?

Is it Dunga's Kaka-led Brazil, or the strong German team?

Or the "uncrowned king" of the Netherlands?

Who is the biggest star of this World Cup?

Is it Ronaldo, Messi, or Chen Fan on the rise?

It's all like a fog that will slowly unravel over time......

The opening ceremony took more than 40 minutes, breaking the tradition of 10 minutes.

Before the start of the match, FIFA President Sepp Blatter and South African President Jacob Zuma delivered speeches respectively. Subsequently, Kurt Zouma officially opened the World Cup and met with Mexican President Calderón to meet with players from both sides.

The competition kicked off with the deafening sound of the "Woo Woo Zula" horn.

"Tick! ……”

Under the whistle of Uzbek referee Imatov, the World Cup in South Africa officially began!

Once the game started, the better Mexican team completely mastered the rhythm on the field.

Less than two minutes into the game, Mexico had a good chance to open the scoring when South African goalkeeper Kune took the ball away from his opponent's cross, and Dos Santos's shot was blocked by Mocona and the ball slid past the goal!

In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Mexican striker Franco rushed high to give the South African team another wake-up call. However, South Africa were not relentless, as their free-kick in front of the crossbar in the 17th minute grazed the crossbar.

Two minutes later, Mexico returned in colour when dos Santos' shot went just wide.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Mexico made a comeback, Vela passed the ball into the penalty area, and striker Franco stopped the ball and volleyed!

The football was subconsciously blocked by the brave Kune!

In the end, neither team could achieve anything until the end of the first half, and after a fifteen-minute break, the two sides changed places, and the South African coach Pereira replaced the struggling Defence Tevara, and Masilella came on as a substitute.

Soon, the dull game scene was broken!

In the tenth minute of the second half, the South African team launched an offensive on the left side, Chabalala took the ball and inserted it at high speed on the side, calmly shot in the face of the goalkeeper of the Mexican team, kicked the ball into the dead corner, and helped the South African team lead Mexico 1-0!

It was also the 2,064th goal in World Cup history.

There were deafening screams, cheers and cheers from the Soccer City stadium, and the hosts took the lead!

Then the Mexican team launched a crazy counterattack, and in the eleventh minute of the second half, Dos Santos's long-range shot was blocked by Cuune's flying and saved the bottom line!

The South African team immediately played a beautiful counterattack, Mfeira shook off the defender and hit the opposing defender, and Modise from outside the box went straight into the box to receive the ball, and then pushed it in front of the goalkeeper!

The ball went wide and South Africa missed a good chance to extend the scoreline.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Mexico coach Aguirre sent the veteran Blanco to strengthen the attack. However, the South African team's offensive continued, and Modise burst into the penalty area with the ball to form a single knife!

His shot after being squeezed out of place by Rodriguez was blocked by the Mexican goalkeeper and South Africa missed another great opportunity to extend the score!

Then Aguirre sent the youngster Hernandez to replace Franco and continued to strengthen the attack, but the Mexican team's offensive has always been difficult to improve, but the relaxed South African team is like a fish in water.

In the twenty-fifth minute of the second half, the situation on the field changed abruptly!

Mexico got a corner kick opportunity, and when the tactical corner kick was taken diagonally to the back post, the South African defenders appeared to the top!

Marques, who was ambushed at the back post, fired a powerful shot in the corner of the small penalty area in the face of the outstanding goalkeeper Curne!

Soccer ball flies into the goal!

One-to-one!

Mexico equalized!

In the 38th minute of the second half, Pereira replaced Parker in place of midfield star Pienaar, intending to fight hard to win the game. A minute later, Blanco made a clever pass to Hernandez, and the youngster's shot went off the line with interference.

The game climaxed towards the end of the game, and in the 43rd minute of the second half, Blanco again combined up with Hernandez, whose header went just wide!

A minute later, South Africa went on the offensive and Mfeira dribbled into the box at high speed and fired a low shot at the neutral post, giving South Africa their best chance to beat Mexico.

In the end, after three minutes of stoppage time, the score was not rewritten, and the 1-1 record was maintained until the end of the game.

A point apiece, arguably the last thing these two teams want, and they will face tough opponents France and Uruguay in the group stage, making the group qualification even more confusing.
