2010 WORLD CUP FINAL DRAW

Lets start this post with the words of footballing pundit MAMADOO...
"Bring Brraaazzeel,Bring Eeetaly, Bring Spain,Brig Holl land,Bring Argentina..Bring them All. We will HUMMER THEM ALL"

What a Mugg Mamadoo is.Lets add some realism here. SA have a tough group and in reality there is no way that they will hammer the best in the World,Not Bafana. The draw was great albeit that my family avoided a tragedy but Shukr to that. We managed to watch the draw at home and Looking Good for Italy...Il have my say in the comment. For now I leave it to Galactico.
Please share your comments..............

The Final Draw for the 2010 World Cup is as out. The event held in Cape Town was a success and South Africa is now preparing its final touches to host the Worlds Greatest Sporting Event in June & July Next Year. Cape Town entertained celebrities from around the World in a glittering evening. Woza SA 2010 Woza.

GROUP A
RSA SOUTH AFRICA
MEX MEXICO
URU URUGUAY
FRA FRANCE


Well Bafana Bafana will have no easy passage it seems to the 2nd Round. Meeting France in the final game requires us to get maximum points from our first two games against Uruguay & Mexico. Tough Group but we need to perform and qualify for the 2nd Round as the 18 host nations before us did.

I met Itumeleng Khune the Chiefs and Bafana Goalkeeper yesterday and he was fired up. Had a brief chat and he was Optimistic. He said he cant wait.......

GROUP B
ARG ARGENTINA
NGA NIGERIA
KOR SOUTH KOREA
GRE GREECE


It seems that Argentina & Nigeria should qualify from this group but Korea produced a string of upsets in 2002 to reach the World Cup Semi-finals while Greece shocked the football World by winning the Euro 2004 Cup against all odds.


GROUP C
ENG ENGLAND
USA USA
ALG ALGERIA
SVN SLOVENIA


Well England could not have received a kinder draw to get through top of the group into the 2nd Round.


GROUP D
GER GERMANY
AUS AUSTRALIA
SRB SERBIA
GHA GHANA


One of the toughest Groups of the World Cup with Germany, Ghana & Serbia all strong teams and Australia no pushovers as well.


GROUP E
NED NETHERLANDS
DEN DENMARK
JPN JAPAN
CMR CAMEROON


Netherlands and Cameroon should qualify from this Group but the Danes somehow always seem to come up with what it takes to qualify for the 2nd Round.


GROUP F
ITA ITALY
PAR PARAGUAY
NZL NEW ZEALAND
SVK SLOVAKIA


Italy should have no problem qualifying top of Group F. Paraguay and Slovakia to fight over the remaining spot available.


GROUP G
GROUP OF DEATH
BRA BRAZIL
PRK NORTH KOREA
CIV IVORY COAST
POR PORTUGAL


Without a  doubt the Group of Death of the World Cup. Ivory Coast my favourites from Africa along with Brazil & Portugal will make this a cracker Group. One Big Team will fall.


GROUP H
ESP SPAIN
SUI SWITZERLAND
HON HONDURAS
CHI CHILE


Well it seems the Spanish qualifying with the best results 10 wins from 10 and the favourites for the World Cup have one of the easier passages to the knockout phase.


ADIDAS JABULANI


FIFA and Adidas have officially released the ball to be used at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The ball will be called the Adidas Jabulani. Jabulani means “to celebrate” in Zulu and Africa and South Africa are ready to celebrate the World Cup in 2010.


There are 11 colours present on the ball that represent the following

1 colour for each of the team players as well as to represent each of the 11 languages of South Africa and the 11 different South African Communities that will welcome the World. The design represents diversity and harmony which describe the South African Nation as a colourful and welcoming nation.


The Ball has a new feel in that of a Grip and Groove Ball allowing for more control, a stable flight through the air as well as perfect grip for all conditions. The ball is being described as the most stable and accurate ball ever due to its 8 spherical 3d panels making it perfectly round.
