[QUOTE="Gena_ZA, post: 477215, member: 42835"] A bit more on the area and the people <- this is my opinion only and did it just for the fun [U][B]Bulls[/B][/U]: Pretoria, capital of South Africa. Very Afrikaans speaking area, got the hottest girls by far in my opinion. Picturous city called the City of the Jacaranda and in spring time an aerial view look like a carpet of purple flowers. Very good management, structures. Decent stadium and sponsors, very passionate fan base.
