Finally the 2014 Soccer World Cup is here, and the game is kicking off tomorrow 12 June 2014 in Brazil South America. The two teams opening the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ is Brazil against Croatia. The game is going to be a very tough one for Croatia as the Brazilian team is playing a home match and they are the favorites to win. The Soccer World Cup 2014 opening match is being played at the Arena de São Paulo Soccer Stadium.

“The Toyota Corolla Sprinter at the 2010 Soccer World Cup Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa FNB Stadium – Longing for tickets to the official opening of the 2014 FIFA Soccer World Cup 2014”

Although we are not going to be at the soccer World Cup 2014 games this year, we thought it would be great to relive the moment by visiting the “Mandela Soccer World Cup Stadium” or better known as the 2010 South African Soccer World cup by going to the FNB Soccer Stadium in South Africa where the opening match was played in 2010.

“Today the stadium is quiet and the Soccer World Cup Fever is a light in Brazil where the games starts tommorow, in 2010 the World Cup Soccer Stadium was abuzz with Soccer World Cup fever and fans arriving for the Soccer World Cup opening ceremony”

It is not the same, as being at the Soccer World Cup 2014 and experiencing the Soccer World Cup Buzz but it is the best we can do at the moment. We received the Toyota Corolla Sprinter 2014 to test drive this week, and we took it to the 2010 Soccer Stadium to relive the Soccer World Cup Fever and memories of the 2010 World Cup.

Below is some images of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter at the Soccer World Cup Stadium.

It is just not the same, however the memories of the 2010 Soccer World Cup and being able to revisit the stadium where the games took place, is helping us to get into the spirit of the 2014 world cup, with the games starting tomorrow, visiting the stadium helped us to get into the games…

Tomorrow is the official opening of the FIFA World Cup 2014 and we would like to wish all the players and fans a great game, may the best team win, and may the games unite the world and be played in a true Sportsman’s spirit!
