South Africa: Nelson Mandela's Land: Welcome to The Country

Message from Nelson Mandela { "I believe that South Africa is the most beautiful place on earth. Admittedly, I am biased, but when you combine the natural beauty of South Africa with the friendliness and cultural diversity of our people, and the fact that the region is a haven for Africa's most splendid wildlife, then I think even the most scrupulous critic would agree that we have been blessed with a truly wonderful land. I would like to extend a personal invitation to you to come and see for yourself the splendour of South Africa. I know that my people will be delighted to welcome you and I think you will be enchanted by their warmth and hospitality. I am equally sure that you will enjoy our culture, our cuisine and the warmth of our people." } Nelson Mandela, President of South Africa, 1994-1999

Unfortunately, on the eve of the world cup, tragedy hit the Mandelas. His great-granddaughter was killed by a drunk driver. Mr. Mandela could not attend the opening ceremony!

Mexico Vs. Argentina: Argentina is winning because of Referring Mistakes

It is time that there is a replay camera in soccer games.  So far, Fifa is not having any of that.  Yet, referees can not see every possible foul and outside position in the game.  That is how Tevez managed to score the first goal for Argentina.  The goal upset the Mexican players who protested it heavily.  The line referee was consulting with the main referee but nothing was changed.  The mistake of the first goal led to the lack of concentration of the Mexican defender who handed the ball to the Argentinian attacker who scored.  Then, it all went downhill from there.

Argentina beat Mexico 3-1.  Maradona behaves more like a cheerleader than a coach.  After all, a coach should be the main cheerleader! Congratulations to Maradona and Argentina!
