Maradona, Carlos Alberto, Pele ... we take them as read. Here, however, are classics that should be
in the top tier – but are not.
With his frizzy mop of hair, sparkling jewellery and colourful personality, Carlos Alberto
Valderrama Palacio is unquestionably one of the most recognisable footballers to have graced the
World Cup.
Emotions are running high for a proud country given 6 years to prepare for the 2010 World Cup.
As the country that served an apartheid ban from FIFA until 1992, South Africa has progressed
extensively since that year to achieve the unthinkable—they've become the first country in Africa
to host a FIFA World Cup.
I didn't think France could do any worse than their disastrous performance during Euro 2008. But
when it comes to defying expectations or the lack thereof no one does it better than Domenech and
his crew.
The match against South Africa will probably go down as the lowest moment in the history of
Les Bleus.
This article was originally published at http://afootballreport.com/. We thought Eric Beard did
such a nice job we'd repost it here. Enjoy ! The New York Cosmos, a club that was dominant in the
North American Soccer League (NASL) with stars such as Pelé, Carlos Alberto, Franz Beckenbauer,
and Giorgio Chinaglia, but stopped functioning operations in the mid-1980s, has officially been
revived.
Son of a whore. I have to fill in my brackets, and I have absolutely no idea who's going to win
this god-damned thing. Four years of waiting, and I have absolutely no idea what the hell I'm
doing. I feel like [INSERT NATIONAL TEAM COACH HERE.]
Well, let's start with an easy one:
GROUP A, in order of predicted finish:
1.
Siphiwe Tshabalala unstoppable left foot shot into the top corner of Mexico's goal was not enough
to give the Bafana Bafana three points. Rafa Marquez cool finish ensured that Mexico's late push
for an equalizer would be rewarded. South Africa started nervously against Mexico at the Soccer
City Stadium but eventually got a grip in midfield and that allowed the hosts to gain control of
the match.
Siphiwe Tshabalala's clinical counter-attacking goal stemmed from the manager's switch early in
the second half to move him more central.

Of all the South Afrcian players, it was probably Steven Pienaar who carried the hopes of his
nation greatest before the game.
By Darshan Joshi, writing from Sydney
On some days, Santa mopes around his workshop, sluggishly slithering between the elves and
dwarves and other magical creatures he has at his disposal, with his mind fixated on Mrs Claus and
his children Roque Cruz and Pedro Cecilia.
Maybe the Red Bulls just don't get it.
They continue to ignore the blueprints of success with other Major League Soccer clubs, and hire
foreign coaches with zero MLS experience. Without a head coach with a keen knowledge of the
American player - be it current players in the league or upincoming collegiate/youth players - the
Red Bulls have failed on several occasions.
Well it looks like Carlos Alberto Parreira is making headway with Bafana Bafana. They managed to
score three goals at Moses Mabhida Stadium against Zimbabwe last night.
Bafana Bafana Magic
Although the game was no walkover for the South African National team, there were certainly
moments of sheer Bafana magic.
O Volta Redonda Futebol Clube fará neste sábado, dia 13, s 15h30m, um amistoso internacional. O
Tricolor de Aço, que jamais perdeu uma partida contra equipes estrangeiras, vai até o Centro de
Treinamento da Seleção Brasileira - a Granja Comary, em Teresópolis (RJ) - para enfrentar a
Seleção da África do Sul, anfitriã da Copa do Mundo de 2010.

O técnico brasileiro Carlos Alberto Parreira, em entrevista ao site da FIFA, afirmou que a
seleção da África do Sul tem condições de se classificar para as oitavas de final da Copa do
Mundo. "Muita gente não acredita que passaremos, mas não podemos ouvir a qualquer um.
With the World Cup ever so close, FIFA is today unveiling the World Cup final ball. The ball
will be used in just one game this summer, but will be a prominent talking point of the single
biggest football match of the year. Like the tournament's official ball, it will be produced by
adidas.
Franz Beckenbauer and South African team coach Carlos Alberto Parreira will be broadcasting live
from the adidas headquarters in Germany as they are joined by Dr.
We've already seen the adidas Jabulani, official match ball of the 2010 World Cup. But superb as
that ball might be, it's not good enough for the actual World Cup 2010 Final on July 11th. Such an
event requires a whole other ball, and so adidas and FIFA unveiled the adidas
Jo'bulani this morning, so called because the final will be held in Johannesburg.
Adversária do Brasil na primeira fase da Copa do Mundo de 2010, a Coreia do Norte fará nesta
quinta-feira um amistoso contra a África do Sul, seleção anfitriã do Mundial comandada por
Carlos Alberto Parreira.
O confronto será disputado em Frankfurt, na Alemanha, onde a seleção sul-africana está
realizando um período de treinamentos.
A seleção da África do Sul disputa nesta quarta-feira um jogo amistoso contra a Jamaica, o
último de sua concentração na Alemanha, que servirá para o treinador Carlos Alberto Parreira
seguir tentando minimizar as limitações dos "Bafana Bafana", fazendo-os a revelação da Copa do
Mundo.
Operation Rainbow Nation
The General:
Carlos Alberto Parreira is the side's manager and the Brazilian born skipper is looking to
shake off South Africa's disappointing African Cup of Nations run in 2008 by advancing deep into
the World Cup this summer. Parreira coaching career's highest high was when he led his homeland
of Brazil to the 1994 World Cup in the USA.
With his team currently languishing in ninetieth position in the world rankings, South
Africa manager Carlos Alberto Parreira clearly has a tough task ahead of him in trying to
make the host nation competitive in what looks to be a tough group.
In their opener, South Africa face a Mexico side that have reached the second round in each of
their last four World Cups.
Benni McCarthy is probably South Africa's greatest ever striker. The Cape Town born striker is
Bafana Bafana's all time top goalscorer with either 35 or 31 international goals (depending on who
you read) and also one of the more experienced players, having spent time in the Dutch, Portuguese,
Spanish and English leagues and played in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.

Nickname: Les Bleus. They wear blue. Nobody said that they were imaginative.
FIFA ranking: 9
How they got here: Finished second in their qualifying group, and then won a
playoff against Ireland thanks to Thierry Henry's hand.
Record in previous tournaments: Won the whole shebang for the first and only time
in 1998.
My South African collaborator and friend has very kindly sent over some final words before Friday's
opening game. Here's what Karen Lotter had to say...
"Vuvuzelas, mirror socks, flags all over the place and soccer jerseys on every second person –
South Africa is so ready for the 2010 World Cup.
It's almost here! Two days away!
First game of the 2010 World Cup?
Mexico vs. the host country South Africa!
A preview by Yahoo Sports by Nicolino Di Benedetto ...
Hosting the World Cup already has South Africa feeling proud, but translating those
emotions into results on the field might be a problem.
Bafana Bafana can hold their heads high.
They won the battle but lost the war. Beating France,2-1. Their first half display and Mexico
trailing Uruguay, raised the spectre of an improbable passage into the group of 16. Bongani Khumalo
and Katlego Mphela scored goals as a reeling France, down to ten man after Oscar Ruiz, the
Colombian referee sent off Yoann Gourcuff for a questionable elbow to Macbeth Sibaya.
Raymond Domenech must be the worst coach on French football history. Today after losing 1-2 to
South Africa, he refused to shake hand with Carlos Alberto the South African coach Here is...

As if we needed another example of how French national team manager Raymond Domenech is a
disgrace. But somehow he managed to end his job in disgrace just when you thought it couldn't get
any worse.
At the end of France's woeful performance against South Africa, Domenech refused to shake the
hand of Carlos Alberto Parreira, national team manager for South Africa and one of the most
well-respected managers in the international game.
When Brazil were knocked out of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa we all knew that Dunga was
going to get more than his fair share of the heat. In the build up to the match against Netherlands
Dunga took criticism from both Johan Cruyff and Pele with regards to his tactics and pragmatic
style.
Por HalftownNo vamos a repetir por enésima vez la historia del New York Cosmos, una de las
mayores aberraciones de la historia del fútbol, entre otras cosas porque se puede leer aquí muy
bien redactadita por orden cronológico. O comprarse el documental "Once in a Lifetime" en
Amazon.

Despite turning the French national team into a quivering globule of merde during his
six years in charge, Raymond Domenech is seeking £2.5 million in compensation
from the French Football Federation (FFF) after he was sacked following Les Bleus
disastrous showing at the 2010 World Cup.

Carlos Alberto Parreira (CAP) has announced his locally based squad, and as it always happens,
some people are happy, others are not, but at least we can see who he has in mind for the Bafana
Bafana World Cup Team.
This 29-man squad will be heading to Durban for a training camp from 15 28 January to work with
their Brazilian coach.
South Africa's Brazilian coach, Carlos Alberto Parreira has come out and said that the South Africa
World Cup squad will be largely made up of locally based players.He is quoted as saying:"The team
that will play in the World Cup will be made up by 65-70 per cent of locally-based players. This is
largely because the overseas-based players are not regulars in their teams.

I was expecting to re-kick-off my column under.
We all know that thing about not judging a book by its cover. Clearly, that doesn't apply to
Tevez. Then again, he's no book.

Bafana Bafana Training in Durban
Durban fans have their vuvuzelas ready to cheer Bafana Bafana tonight in the friendly against
Zimbabwe at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
And I will be there – my first night match at Moses Mabhida and my fist look at the local
Bafana Bafana squad in the steaming Durban summer heat.
The fourth in the series offers a critical evaluation of the teams and players from the
nineteen-seventies.
The 1970s
Three tournaments were held in the seventies, two in the Americas (1970 and 1978) and one in Europe
(1974). Brazil were dominant in the first tournament before fading as the decade progressed.

South Africa showed their class as they scored six goals in a friendly match against Swaziland
played at Durban's Chatsworth Stadium.
Winning should be a habit for Carlos Alberto Parreira's men if they are to give a good account of
themselves in the World Cup which is just a couple of months away and they made a great start to
their preparations playing a blinder against the Swazis.
Além de Dunga e Carlos Alberto Parreira, a classe de técnicos brasileiros pode ganhar mais um
representante na Copa do Mundo: Marcos Paquetá. Comandante da Arábia Saudita em 2006, o treinador
revelou estar em conversação com representantes da Nigéria. O país está sem treinador desde o
fim da Copa Africana de Nações, em janeiro (Shaibu Amodu foi demitido).
