August 03 Edgar Davids - August 3rd 2006As I explained earlier. the names and personalities of the players representing Surinam basically represent the whole world in one single national team.
Seemingly out of nowhere the Surinamese National anthem is being played, causing grown men to weep from pride and joy without shame. All the while coach Aboikoni’s (literally meaning: this boy is smart) heart beats like drum.
In the seats as well as in the stands the Surinamese fans attending the game make sure that so many different tunes from all over the world are heard in and around the Stadium. A whole spectrum of instruments, rituals, garments and sweet and spicy treats stemming from no less then 4 different continents, will fill up the Maracanã with sound, movement, odor and ..eeeh tupperware?
Can you imagine a more beautiful sight? A sweeter smell? A more thrilling experience? And the best part is: The Game has yet to begin.
Finally, the referee is about to blow his whistle for the kick off.
A mind boggling amount of people is holding their breath because Surinam is playing against Brazil in the Maracanã at the 2022 World Cup final.
Back home the streets are deserted. Houses have been abandoned by those who were lucky enough to get hold of a ticket.
A little more than two hours from now the world will have witnessed a miracle. TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
