Part Three: World Cup 2010 Discussion.
He’s won a lot of prizes and Johnny wants to know if he’s ever counted. Mark thinks he’s won 20 prizes. He needs now to win the WC. He thinks back to losing the WC in 2010 - that he could have introduced himself as a world cup winner. He’s never watched that match. He says he can’t watch it, he doesn’t have the strength. When they came back South Africa and the whole crowd honoring them helped them a lot because they came back really down. He hopes this time they will win and take the cup and show it to the fans during a boat tour.

Part Five - Proud Papa - Renee
(I love how much he smiles around his family. He clearly adores them all so much. He looks so proud of his kids).
Johnny plays Renee in a game of tennis. He congratulates her when it’s over because she beats him.

Part Six
Johnny wants to see the San Siro, so Mark takes him home. They have photos of the kids on the wall. Mark takes him to see the view from their balcony to the San Siro. Mark is afraid of heights so he doesn’t like to look down.

Final Part: Meeting Andra
(This is my favorite part. He was so grinny during the whole conversation. Love the adoration this man has for his wife)
Johnny has brought him a gift, it’s his father in law’s (Bert van Marwijk) new book. He laughs, he didn’t have it yet. Where did he meet Andra? Mark tells him that Bert has two daughters. They always came to matches and he liked Andra. He brought flowers and chocolate and he was nervous as hell. He says he was shaking like a leaf. He isn’t sure if he was more nervous because it was Andra or because it was Bert. He took her to a movie and McDonalds after. He was 20 and McDonalds was a big deal. Johnny asks him if he remembers what movie they saw and he says The Truman Show.
He thanks him for the day. They both enjoyed themselves. Johnny pleads with him to win this time. He lives along the canals and he hopes to see them again with the cup. Mark says if they win, he should jump into the water and they will pull him into the boat. And he tells Johnny again - “do it!”
