Two-faced
Parents, hide your kids faces! This puppet-thingy was just plain scary.
I was there (on the fan walk in Cape Town) so it’s easy for me to see, but did you notice the two faces? Yes sure, they look friendly enough, gut they remind me of an angry parent telling their kids that they have eyes in the back of their heads… which to be fair, my mother at times also had to have.

A boy and his vuvuzela
This photo shows just how easy it is to blow a vuvuzela. This kid was blowing the horn like a regular pro football supporter – full of gusto.

I don’t follow Argentinian football, so I’m unsure why he would have these heads strapped to his ears. Dalma and Gianna, as I understand, are Argentinian hero, Diego Maradona’s daughters – so this does seem a little odd to me…
