The players signed autographs and posed for pictures for more than two hours and as Shoes Moshoeu explained they were delighted to be part of this historic occasion: “In my early years as a player going to the World Cup was a dream as the game has grown. Events like the FIFA Interactive World Cup allow people from various backgrounds to in some way experience being part of the World Cup.

"Not everyone is a great footballer but a lot of people are great fans of their teams who they support week in and week out and in this way they can feel what it is like to be coach, captain and the star player all in one and the pressure that goes with it and the satisfaction and enjoyment of scoring a goal.”

Bevan Fransman, the best of the Chiefs players at the FIFA 2006 Game, was unable to take his usual disciplined style of play with him to the cyber world as he exited the competition in the early rounds.

He has promised that he will practise harder for next years contest and will return with a vengeance.
