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.

Maradona Becomes Argentina’s Coach

November 10th, 2008

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….

Real Madrid invites Usain Bolt to train

September 14th, 2008

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.
