The country stopped to watch the World Cup. It was like to be in another world: no work, do debts, no regulations. The only thing to do was to cheer up!
But the game is over now. Even when the team wins, the game always ends.
The problem in Brazil is to swallow a bit of proud mixed with a pinch of envy. Everyone has to go back to work some day!
A lovely old lady in the bus trip, just after the game against Holland said she did not understand why everybody was so sad. According to her, if the country had took part in a world competition it was good enough to be happy.
I believe she's right. Winners have to come back to reality sooner or later as much as loosers. What's the difference between them at least? I can see only one: reality itself.
South Africa has a very difficult reality to come back in a few days and they are not crying for it.
They are happy for taking part. They were seen by the whole world as people who live their lives as much as anyone. So far, the game is over but lifes goes on. Better than ever because it's still real life.
