Durban - A catsuit, sombreros and face paint were just some of the ways fans who flocked to the FIFA Fan park at Addington beach in Durban on Friday chose to adorn themselves.

Gary Sampson said he had spent three days planning his outfit - a South African flag catsuit.

"My catsuit has been turning heads...I want to dedicate it to Bafana," he said.

Hotdog sellers and face painters were some of the people selling their wares at the beach front where people dressed in yellow and green sat around, danced and watched live bands. There were also skate-boarders and uni-cyclers.

A Mexican couple, Rogelion and Zoe Guzman, were sure they were the only Mexicans on the beach.

"We will beat Bafana 2-0. Mexico is number one," Rogelion Guzman said. He was wearing a traditional Mexican sombrero.

Security at the gates was tight. Police, security companies, and volunteers searched people going in.

Kirsten and Wolfgany Groetz, from Germany, were in love with vuvuzelas.

"We love the beach, the weather and obviously the vuvuzelas. We are 100% behind Bafana," said Wolfgany Groetz.

He found it wonderful that people in Durban were so friendly.

Thandeka Zulu from Durban predicted that the final score on Friday would be 3-0 to Bafana.

Australian brothers, Matthew and Rob Waid, said this was their first World Cup and they knew they would have fun.
