As we prepare to face off in a friendly against the United States next Wednesday, I thought it
would be wise to touch up on a bit of history of the sport in America, where it almost seems like
the sport's last frontier, despite having the makings of s football superpower early on. We have a

Yes, I admit that I enjoyed American Football today, Super Bowl Sunday, but in the rest of the

co-hosts of the 2012 African Nations Cup.Yesterday, powerful co-favorites Ivory Coast defeated
co-host Equatorial Guinea 3-0.
