I am upset with cameroon getting ousted, and well Nigeria just slumped. Big Up Ghana for sticking it in there, I was immensely surprised with them. Now to Cote d'Ivore, who is a damn fine team, but unfortunately they are playing Brazil, which pretty much leaves it up to Ghana to hold it down in the next round, unless somehow SA scores like SEVEN goals in their next game 
on the politics side, the south african stadium security workers are still protesting for a higher wage, and I believe the sympathy protest for Mexican mine workers went well.. there have been reports of riots and police brutality..
This upcoming week is Africa week, catch the last African games while you can, all but one of their teams appear to be out after this. Can the US hope for miracles? I'm rootin for Mexico, they are a home team to Angelinos |
Its not the UK, its England. An important distinction
We were absolute doggerel the other night, Algeria used the ball better than us, played as a team, for each other. England did not deserve to win, and I think they deserved to lose the game.
The African teams have been pretty bad except for Nigeria's keeper who is the man of the tournament so far, even with his massive error the other day. I hope Ghana get thru and have a decent run, an African nation needs to do well in this tournament, get to the 1/4 finals at least
