The Football Worrld Cup kicked off on 6/11/10 in South Africa. This is the first time that the football world cup is being organized and played on African soil. It is a big deal and I'm expecting some African pride. It is a one month football (soccer) fest ending on 7/11/10. I have been following various games closely, that is when I can. I am supporting Cameroon national team. Their first game against Japan on 6/14/10 was a dissapointment defeat for Cameroon (1 goal to 0). Their second match is scheduled for this afternoon at 2:30pm against Denmark. I'm hoping that Cameroon utilizes her players today in a good way and put forth their best play to emerge winners of today's game or else they'll be packing their bags to leave. On the other hand, I'm not expecting miracles from Cameroon especially if the coach, Paul Le Guen, doesn't make use of the good players in the squad. They could easily pack their bags and head home but as a fan of the Indomitable Lions, I'm holding tight to HOPES.
Good luck et allez les Lions!
On the other note, it seems like Ghana is the only African team that is holding its own. The Ghanian team won their first game (1 goal to 0) through a penalty kick. Their second game comes up in a couple of minutes against Australia. If they win, they become first in the group with 6 points.
