That was the end of Ayoba. Now it will be regular World Cup. Uruguay showed RSA their place in second hundred place of FIFA ranking. Albiceleste only 5 times touched the ball in their opposition penalty area during the first game against France. Now they started with super offensive line up with 3 strikers. It paid [...] Debate
The score is surprise. But it happens quite often during first games that very weak teams got wings and achieve sensational results. I think Brazil played OK, and will easy qualify. But nothing is sure in this group of death. Canarinhos positives: Robinho is in a shape today and he now he wants to come back [...] Debate
It takes two to tango. Sometimes games finished without goals are more interesting that with high goals results. Sometimes nil-nil result is prove of both teams skills rather than weaknesses. That’s was today’s game in Port Elizabeth. Both teams were very good. Portugal started better and Ronaldo almost scored, after his brilliant shot the ball [...] Debate
Godfried, 40, driver Should vuvuzela be banned from the stadiums? “No! Vuvuzela is used by our people to encourage players and give them our spirit.” Why it is so important for African fans “This is the only way for our fans to express themselves on the stadium.” Graham, 32, manager Should vuvuzela be banned from the stadiums? “Vuvuzelas are great. It [...] Debate
I especially came to Port Elizabet to see that game live. Expect the fire works type match. Both teams hit the highest number of shots during qualifications. Portugal still didn’t win anything important in history and Ronaldo is always hungry of success. But during qualifications Portugese didn’t play well. A lot will depend if Drogba could [...] Africa
I came to Port Elizabeth (to see Portugal – Ivory Coast game) quite late. The city welcomed me with the rain and cold. I was surprised to see the first white cab driver in South Africa, but I guess I didnt show so much. He spent all 7 minutes from the airport to the hote talking [...] Debate
Another goal on World cup for Mirko Klose Forget all football jokes about Germans. They are young, don’t have mustaches, and play so far the most attractive football in the World Cup. Are they really Germans? Errr…, not really. Aogo is has Nigerian background, Tasci and Ozil Turkish, Boateng Ghanaian, Marin Bosnian, Khedira Tunisian, Trochowski, [...] Debate
Slovenian rainmakers The match would the most boring in the World Cup history if not two things. First was crazy Algerian fan who claimed on high light post and police couldn’t get him down. Second was cameo of Abdelkader Ghezzal, Algerian stiker who got his first yellow card seconds after coming to the pitch as a [...] Africa
Street fruit seller in Soweto. Nelson Mandela smiling from the monument to football fans in Sandton. All Joburg is branded according to Fifa marketing rules. City center is dangerous. Capello restaurant on the Tambo airport. “As usual Fabio. Tortelloni and espresso. Tell Beckham to not put there sugar again”. The real Soweto. Working woman. Behind North Korea flag. Football flags on [...] Africa
Lord, 40, businessman and his daughters: Maledi (r), 5 and Tshmio 10 – next week. What will be the score tomorrow? How far can South Africa go in World Cup? What do you [...] |
 Aleksander Korab works as content director at Metro, the world's biggest daily newspaper. He decided to fulfill his childhood dream of running with the football journalists at the 2010 World Cup. Much to the dismay of his wife, and as part of a premature midlife crisis, Alek plans to shave his hair, grow a beard and spend a month in South Africa watching games, drinking beer with local fans, generally hanging around and of course sharing the resulting insights into life, death and, much more importantly, football!  |
