Al Arabi's young guns tamed mighty Al Sadd 2-1 in the fourth week of the Qatar Stars League. Al
Arabi goalkeeper Rajab Hamza was outstanding and was rightly selected as the man of the match. His
great performance helped Al Arabi remain unbeaten in the League.
Newsweek reports on the idea of foreign coaches versus home-grown coaches to manage a national
team for their country.
Even before the World Cup ended, the recriminations had begun in countries whose soccer
federations had paid through the nose for high-flying coaches who failed—like Fabio Capello in
England, Carlos Parreira in South Africa, and Sven-Göran Eriksson in Ivory Coast—to deliver
their teams to the final.
De los dos, Sudáfrica era el que tenía más chances de quedar en segundo lugar, más tomando
en cuenta que Uruguay estaba ganando su partido contra México. Parreira salió con un 4-4-2 con
la mentalidad de ganar este partido, aun y cuando quedaran eliminados y realmente muy poca gente
pensaba que los locales sacarían la victoria.
I know, there's one more game left to be played. But now that South Africa are sitting in last
place of Group A with 1 point and a -3 goal differential, the Bafana Bafana, sadly, are finished.
It was a tough match to watch because, like most neutrals, I am cheering on all of the African
nations in this World Cup.
World Cups come every 4 years. And today the 19th edition of the World Cup, first one in Africa,
kicked off. The one down point is, I am still in New York, wishing I was already in South Africa.
One more day, and then I am off to Johannesburg where Brazil plays Norht Korea on Tuesday!

Ravshan Irmatov de Uzbekistan sera el arbitro del partido inaugural de la copa mundial Sudafrica
2010, sera el encargado de dar el pitazo inicial tan esperado en estos 4 años.
El partido mas esperado por todos los aficionados en todo el mundo esta por comenzar.
Por ser el país anfitrión Sudafrica tuvo asegurado su lugar por la FIFA.
Iniciamos el verdadero análisis de las 32 selecciones de fútbol soccer que participaran en el
mundial de Sudáfrica 2010.
Empezamos con la selección anfitriona rival de México en el partido inaugural de la copa mundial
de fútbol soccer.
Sudafrica-Messico, gara inaugurale dei Mondiali di calcio
2010, si chiude sull'uno a uno, in virtù del botta e risposta tra
Thsabalala e Rafa Marquez. Nel finale, s'infrange sul palo
colpito da Mphela il sogno sudafricano di conquistare il successo all'esordio.
Il mondiale è alle porte ed è allora tempo di iniziare ad analizzare gironi formazioni e,
magari, azzardare i primi pronostici. Partiamo dal Girone A, quello dei padroni di
casa del Sudafrica.
C'è molta attesa in patria per questo mondiale che i "Bafana Bafana"
inaugureranno l'11 Giugno al Soccer City di
Johannesburg contro il Messico.
Anche Carlos Alberto Parreira ha preso le ultime decisioni. Veniamo a
conoscenza infatti, in queste ore, delle convocazioni ufficiali per quanto concerne il
Sudafrica e i 23 che disputeranno, da padroni di casa, il
Mondiale in programma a partire dall'11 giugno prossimo.
I Bafana Bafana, padroni di casa ai Mondiali in
programma tra poche settimane, si preparano con grande entusiasmo a quest'avventura che li vedr
impegnati nel Girone A, con Francia, Messico ed
Uruguay.
No previous World Cup hosts have ever failed to progress beyond the first group stage.
Even seriously unfancied teams such as Switzerland in 1954, Chile, Mexico twice and Japan all kept
the hope of the home crowds alive by performances that were gritty and beyond the call of
duty.Alberto Parreira admits his team have "a mountain to climb" to match up to this bit of World
Cup history.
The World Cup is approaching. Some teams are already in South Africa getting ready for the
biggest sports tournament on earth. Focus is key and everyone knows it. But of course, as in any
World Cup, the issue of how much liberty players get is always raised.
In 2006, during the World Cup in Germany, England and Brazil had a nice freedom bonanza which
resulted in bad press and horrible performance.
The brazilian national team has spent the past week at CT Caju, home of Atletico-PR's training
ground in the southern city of Curitiba, Brazil. Contrary to the ridiculous circus that coach
Parreira bought into in 2006, Dunga's pragmatic and no-frills approach has shown through already.
Most practice sessions have been closed to both press and the public.
