But those who had a chance to be part of events at Lugogo later on Sunday will concur that there's little, if any, experience that beats the feeling at the Cricket Oval.With fitted on special goggles that modified pictures and virtually took fans to 'real' WC stadiums, Ugandans were taken through a memorable montage of WC moments and some had to 'dodge' hard shots that seemed destined for their eyes.

Live at World CupThat special 3-D movie, organised by WC Tour sponsors Coca Cola summed up the intrinsic value to this an historic trophy visit and the whole experience made you desire - likewise - regret not being part of the 2010 bonanza in South Africa.

Outside the 3-D movie and trophy viewing rooms, all manner of activities were happening - oblivious kids chased and kicked a gigantic ball around, couples hand in hand eased their teeth through roasted meet and artists gave zealous fans little reason to retire home early.

But one fan activity, probably not on the earlier menu, was indulged in and one boy stole revelers' hearts, yours truly's never escaping. Tony Masozewa from Makindye juggled a soccer ball, competing for coca cola goodies - balls, trumpets (vuvuzelas) WC t-shirts and bags - against a host of other fans.

Ball caressThe 16 year-old without a fight juggled his opponents out as he collected the prizes one by one. While soccer mad fans were booing off stage some musicians for mediocre performances, cries for Tony, as they preferred to call him, to return and do his ball tricks filled the air.

Emcees had no option but to oblige and Tony received the first ball thrown at him with an enthusiastic and hungry right foot. Amid urging from spectators, Tony juggled the round thing from his right foot; his left happily receiving it - the interchange continuing. The Makindye-born teenager wasn't done yet.

He, as if stubbornly, refused to let go of the ball and for over 30 minutes let it travel from his feet up to his head and back. Tony balanced it there - reminiscent of a teenage village girl balancing a pot on her head - as emcees painstakingly asked for the ball.

He instead let it drop on his shoulders which sent it back to the head, and removed his shirt 35 minutes on while still balancing it there. About two minutes later, the ball hadn't touched down and Tony had to just voluntarily pass it to the emcees with his foot. Just like he had received it. "He upstaged all musicians who performed," exclaimed one excited reveler.

World recordsBut does Tony know he's sitting on a talent that could land script his name in ball juggling records? The Book of Alternative Records, recognised by world soccer governing body Fifa, receives and verifies record juggling claims globally. In fact, Tony needs not to look further than our neighbours Kenya, who boast of two juggling world records.

Bothers Kenneth, 33, and Willis Yoga, 25, hold records for juggling a soccer ball on a moving motorcycle for 25 minutes, 53 seconds, and heading the football in a sitting position for four hours, 45 minutes respectively. As a matter of fact, those of you familiar with the English Premier League on Dstv must have seen in the pre-match montage a lad juggling a ball on a moving motorbike. That's Kenneth Yoga along University Way, Nairobi, November last year.

There's no prize money for setting and breaking those records but home governments reward those national heroes for hoisting their countries' flags. The Book of Alternative Records is contacted when one claims a record and the body send Fifa-licenced referees to oversee the exercise and verify the records. Newspaper clippings and video footage are also forwarded to the body for proof purposes.

Born to retired pharmacist Fred Masozewa, Tony can also have a try at the Book of Alternative Records. "I had no idea they existed. It would be exciting and I'd love to give it a try."His first gift from his parents - a soccer ball at only nine years - might as well have just cut out his future sport. "My mother told me I had a thing for kicking oranges while still young and with my dad, they bought me a ball. "I used to juggle it from home up to school and do the same returning home," narrated Tony.

Prize collectionFor showcasing his skills at Lugogo, Tony won five soccer balls, five Vuvuzelas, 18 Coca Cola branded WC shirts and five bags. "I kept one on each of those and gave the rest to Makindye Officers' Mess 'Academy' coach (only identified as) Sserumaga. The 'academy' are known in Makindye for training youngsters and coach Sserumaga, as they call him takes care of the task.

"I'm a midfielder and I apply these skills in real football. I've met with Mujib Kasule (Nalubaale manager) and even juggled when Rio and Julian Ferdinand visited in 2007. "I've never heard from Mujib ever since. I want someone who can help me improve my football but no seems to be willing," said Tony. At the 2007 Man United Premiership trophy fans party at the former Cheese Bar, Masozewa showed what a genius he is when displaying an array of skills that bemused everyone.

Back to schoolTony has also performed at several functions for 'small' cash, one organised by AIG (at a Premiership game) where he won an original Man Utd jersey at Sheraton Ball Room in 2007.He also features in singer Buchaman's 'Bambala Byambalemu' video juggling his ball. A senior six leaver, Tony would love to continue with school if he gets financial help. His only regret is people and companies just use him and never help take his talent to the next level.
