Convergence Partners gets into the fever of the soccer world cup
Convergence Partners gets into the fever of the soccer world cup and supports Bafana Bafana 100% – Ke Nako. Ever since its announcement as host nation on the 15th of May 2004, the country has been busy preparing itself to host thousands of players and supporters from all over the world. Convergence Partners has been counting down the days and is 100% behind Bafana Bafana. The entire Convergence Partners team has caught a dose of Fifanitis and simply can’t wait for kick-off. We all have the supporters kit and implemented consortium buying tactics for ticket acquisitions early on in the ticket sales process, coupled with strict hedging strategies to ensure the correct acquisitions!
The atmosphere around the country is electric with nearly every car and pedestrian proudly carrying some version of the South African flag or other supporters’ gear. We can’t wait to be blowing vuvuzelas and waving flags for all the games to be held on South African soil.
The tournament kicks-off on the 11th of June 2010 with the opening game between South Africa and Mexico. Our prediction for the opening game is for South Africa to beat Mexico 2 – 1.
However, the smart money is on Spain and Brazil to lift the trophy with the next outsiders being England and Argentina. The chances of South Africa winning the first World Cup on African soil are smaller but we expect them to put in a good showing at the World Cup and beat some highly ranked teams.
