Ajay Sameer, Sunny Samra, Vikul Lal and Nikul Lal (pictured left to right) are the latest Wolves fans to arrive in South Africa to see the 2010 World Cup come to an end.

Here, Ajay gives his thoughts on their experiences so far:

* * *

Arriving for the 'business end' of the World Cup, our arrival for the latter knockout stages coincided with the almost-merciful collapse of England's ill-fated campaign. I'll waste no-one's time in dissecting that. We've all done it enough.

The locals certainly have no problem in reminding us though. It's all friendly of course (just as every person we've met here has been), and for a while at least is deflected by our new-found allegiance to Ghana.

It's no secret that South Africa has gone World Cup crazy (every glance on the freeway between the airport and our accommodation was met by some reminder of its existence), and the entire continent seemed to be willing the Black Stars to win their quarter-final against one of the tournament's other surprise packages, Uruguay.

As this was the only game we had tickets for, there was no question that we were fully behind Ghana.

Flags, scarves, facepaint? Of course. 'Africa United' is one of the many slogans thrown around over here, and we hopped on the bandwagon.

Game day. First things first, Soccer City is probably the best football venue I've been to: The seating design is fantastic, there doesn't seem to be a bad view in the entire ground, the external design is striking and, unlike anything I've seen before, encapsulates the raw African heritage with architectural brilliance.

The pitch is superb too, and makes you wonder why Wembley seem to struggle so hard to get it right given the wealth and depth of technology/resources available to them. Again, a debate for another time.

The most important factor in the unmatchable arena however, lies with the fans. Experiencing a football match with 90-95% of the fans supporting a single team in such a dedicated and noisy manner was simply incredible.

To those complaining about vuvuzelas - this is not your World Cup.  This is South Africa's. Go to one of the games, and come out of it telling me you don't think they add to the atmosphere.

Everyone treats the event as a celebration, a party, and create a positive vibe to inspire the team.  Vuvuzelas are certainly a better way for those who don't know football to enjoy the game too, as opposed to some of the booze-blinded folk who spend the game discussing how they 'could do a better job' every week.

And then Ghana lose, both controversially and undeservingly. Heartbreak bathes the stadium, but only briefly - within seconds, fans are applauding and appreciating the efforts of the players.

Having been within a few inches of crossbar of a World Cup semi-final, the Black Stars did the entire continent proud. Hats off to Uruguay's fans too, who did their best to contribute to the atmosphere in an arena where they were frighteningly outnumbered.
