Remember Lefika Emerging Equity, the company allegedly behind the corruption besetting the Mbombela
World Cup stadium project? They've come up repeatedly in the story of Jimmy Mohlala's murder, and
never on the right side: they collaborated with Jacob Dladla, whose crimes Mohlala helped reveal,
in various forms of graft and contract fraud; they committed the [.
The top football leagues' fear of the political has now reached the point at which players have to
deny supporting freedom of speech. Salomon Kalou, who scored both goals for Chelsea in their 2-0
win over Middlesbrough on Wednesday, celebrated both by crossing his arms at the wrist and running
toward the crowd.
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor believes ex-captain Willaim Gallas was right to question the
side's fighting spirit in an interview which cost him the armband, then handed to Cesc Fabregas.
The Togo striker said: There is some truth in what he said. Someone had to say these things, to
make each person face up to their responsibilities.
Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor has been named the African Player of the Year.
Is a major international tournament like the World Cup simply of such importance to humanity that
it makes one person's death insignificant? I ask the question because one of the major storylines
to have emerged about Jimmy Mohlala's death is that it "raises fresh concerns" about the
security of the tournament.
The 1st test for South Africa and its preparations for the 2010 World Cup will be the 2009
Confederations Cup. The main focus will be the readiness of the stadiums and for the short
tournament in June, 4 stadiums have been chosen to host Confederations Cup matches. Loftus Versfeld
Stadium - Tshwane/Pretoria The stadium was named [.

Russ Feingold is going to be introducing a proposed amendment to the US Constitution that will
require special elections to fill vacated Senate seats. Some states already do this by State
law - and Feingold's amendment would require all to do so. He states: "The controversies
surrounding some of the recent gubernatorial appointments to vacant Senate [.
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor believes the gap between Arsenal and English Premiership leaders
Liverpool doesn't reflect the true difference between the two sides. He said: We are trying to give
100% in every game at the moment but it's quite difficult. We started the league in a difficult
situation.

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor believes the Gunners are still there for the title race despite
not playing the football people expect them to play. He told Setanta Sports: We are fifth in the
table and not playing the football that people expect us to be playing. But for us the most
important thing is that we [.
We're 500 days from the start of the 2010 World Cup. Sepp Blatter has chosen to celebrate by giving
an interview which I think might actually break his personal record for sloganeering vapidity.
Here's my favorite moment (note that this is by far the hardest question the FIFA.com reporter
threw at him): Do you think that [.
The police are expecting to make arrests soon. They're also trying to douse rumors that the killing
could have been World Cup-related, albeit in terms that will do absolutely nothing to quell the
rumors. From Captain Leonard Hlathi of the Mpumalanga police: We don't talk about politics. The
police are investigating only murder, that's it.

Soccerlens has it, apparently, since they decided that the week in which a man who tried to expose
one part of the massive corruption surrounding this tournament was gunned down in his home was also
the perfect week to publish a warmed-over FIFA press release about the joys of South African soccer
tourism.

When Manchester United signed Angolan striker Manucho last year, everyone was confused, anxious,
and excited. Rumors were floating around saying that Manucho is a carbon copy of Didier Drogba,
that he'd be the 4th striker Sir Alex Ferguson has been dreaming of, and that he would go down in
United folklore.
