Following yesterday’s problems with the ticketing system across the country, soccer fans have been urged to remain enthusiastic about the 2010 Fifa Soccer World.

National squad head coach Carlos Alberto Parreira said South Africans need to be enthusiastic about the event and support the national team.

Yesterday many frustrated and angry soccer fans left long queues last night when they were unable to get their tickets following a crash on the ticketing system.

It is reported that this occurred a number of times, however authorities have promised to do all they can to prevent further problems today.

Bafana coach said they need all the support from South Africans while his team is focusing on its performance.

Today marks only 55 days ahead of the kick-off to the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup.
