In my previous post I wrote about on world cup 2010 stadiums with their images. Now heres an outline of South Africa with its 9 host cities.

I am sure most of you are planning to be there to watch the mega event. As the place would be completely new for you. And you may find difficulty to reach your destination in time. Don’t worry here are some official addresses which certainly will help you to get your destinations conveniently. Just note down in your personal diary before you leave for SA .

Meet Zakumi, he is guide and a good friend for the visitors, fans, players during the World cup tournament 2010 South Africa. You will find him all the way during Soccer Mega Event. But how will you recognize him? Yeah, I have pasted his snap below. Hope that will help.

Btw what does Zakumi mean? ‘Zakumi’, a composition of ‘ZA’ standing for South Africa and ‘kumi’, which translates into ‘10′ in several languages in Africa.

Few words about Zakumi. He is friendly, warm-hearted, caring, self-confident, adventurous and actually quite shrewd tiny fellow. He loves to perform and always follows his instinct and intuition, yet sometimes has the tendency to exaggerate a bit. He loves making friends thats why till now he has become friends of millions of soccer fans across the world.

Btw I want to warn all the bad people out there. Do not ever try to create violence during the mega event. Else Zakumi will catch you and cause damage. He is very dangerous coz he is a big brother of Leopard. How come he is big brother of Leopard? Coz he’s got sense. His only goal is to maintain peace during the event and make that event successful and remarkable in the world cup history.

So friends meet Zakumi if you visit South Africa to enjoy World Cup Soccer 2010.

I know you all are great fans of soccer but for a moment forget about Ronaldo, Rooney, Walcot, Gerrard, Raul ….. and have a glimpse on these beautiful soccer fans…..

I am sure, Maradona’s fans must be happy to hear that Maradona officially took charge of Argentina National Team as a new coach. He was quite happy too, and its obvious. I too happy. He shared his feeling in the conference as follows:

“It’s an honor,” Maradona said. “It’s a dream come true being named coach of the national team.

“I’m going to give it my all to make sure that things go well. We’re going to work every day so that Argentina has a national team that keeps getting better and better.”

“This is the best moment in my life,” he said. “I have my two daughters, I get up every morning and I look forward to the day. That’s something I’ve gotten back.

“I’m earning back the confidence of my daughters and I have the beautiful dream that is the national team … it’s like touching heaven with my hands.”

But many people including Maradona’s fans were doubtful that Maradona can translate his technical skills into coaching expertise.

During the conference, one of the reporters asked if he was daunted by the prospect of failure while leading the team and further damaging his reputation as a living football great,

Maradona said, “I’m not afraid that my crown will fall. It would be worse to hide myself.”

After taking over the charge, one of Maradona’s first decisions was to replace Javier Zanetti as captain with Javier Mascherano.

Maradona put forward some more changes which were disapproved by the AFA.

But the question is, can his boys qualify for 2010 would cup in South Africa ? Will they repeat the history of 1986 there ?

All Argentinian are looking forward for this moment.

Lets wait and watch….

Whenever we think about the Bejing Olympic 2008 running track. Only one name come into our mind and thats none other than “Usain Bolt”. Yeah, he has captured 3 Gold Medals and created a world records in 100m, 200m and 4 X 100m relay at the Bejing games. And now he has got offer to train Spanish Football giants Real Madrid. Hope RM team gonna do well in next season. And I think RM fans are quite happy with this news.

Btw I heard that Bolt is a great fan of Ruud van Nistelrooy. He is eagerly looking forward to meet him.

I am a huge soccer fan and I sometimes like to place a small wager on the outcome of the games, especially if England or Germany are playing. If you want the same fun after the final goal then give online slots, roulette, bingo or craps a try.

Enjoy the video clip of 5 great goals of Euro2008.

No Extra time,
No Penalty shoot out.
Only took 90 mins + injury time to lift the winning trophy. And the winner was none other than Spain, the unbeaten team in all through the tournament. Yes spain beat Germany by 1-0 in the Euro 2008 final.

The final GOALLLLLLLLLLLL
A beautiful buildup and a fine goal. Xavi forwarded a superb vertical pass To Torres. And Torres beats Lahm (Goalkeeper) and the defense and push the ball into the empty net.

Highest Scorer
The highest goal scorer was David Villa for Spain. He scored 4 goals including a hat-trick against Russia in Euro2008.

Its really surprising to see the team like Turkey, Russia in the semi-finals. No doubt they worked hard to reach at this level. But I was expecting some other teams in the semi-finals. I guess you guys too. But those 2 countries shown their best and proved that “hard works pays”. A big thumbs-up for those 2 teams and my best wishes.
Heres the result of Euro 2008 Quarter Finals:
