The 2010 FIFA World Cup matches are being held in South Africa. As football is the most popular sport in the world, to watch the World Cup has become one kind of life. Some people also think that the joys and sorrows of the football fans are more wonderful than the matches.
There is a very funny thing in South Africa. People find that South Africa's team member always sing their national anthem seriously at the beginning, then they keep silent from the half to the end. It doesn't mean that they aren't patriotic, just because their national anthem probably is the most difficult anthem in the world. There are eleven official languages in South Africa and the anthem involves five of the official languages. Therefore, most South Africans can't sing the whole national anthem at all. It is really interesting, isn't it?
