FIFA World cup 2010.(SA)

The biggest show in the FIFA soccer world cup is on display in the south African continent and I feel sorry to write late on the biggest event for which I had to wait for years to come. With a colorful display in the inoguration day addressing the audience the President of South Africa dedeicated the tournament to the millions of soccer lovers wherein the absence of Nelson Mandela was felt among the audience as well. But Mr.Mandela, who was in mourning for the sad demise of his great grand daughter sent the message that " the game must beging & everybody should enjoy it". Sources say that the game will be a factor that will give the South African GDP a growth of 0.5% and the continent will be highly benefitted out of it. With people across the globe visitign the island nation to witness the action the hospitality & service industry will benefit the most. Elaborate arrangement has been made for the security & happy going of the tournament as well. Huge amounts have been put on stake from players security to building infrastructure, from television rights to live matches,from winning prize money to advertisements everywhere money is floating and everybody is eyeing at the happy going of the intelligent game of football. We too with folded hands in front of the Television sets welcome the game begin & go on on full swing.
People who know soccer closely having eyes on their favorite team how can I deny mine ; I am always eyeing my favorite country in the game of football & my all time favorite team was, is & will be Argentina,the home to the soccer God ( Diego Armando Maradona). Now whenever we say that we have won the match you must consider that Argentina had a win. We have won the first match against Nigeria and ow aiming to tame the Koreans.

the soccer god is in India...

Yes... its the great Diego Armando Maradona, is on his two day visit to India. And the mecca of Football in India,kolkatta, is all set to welcome Maradona. After the Mumbai terrorist attack on 26th Nov, the proposed visit was under question. But soon after the England Cricket team in coming back to resume the Test Series in India this is Maradona who is scheduling his visit to India today. Now when i remember my memories in my school days I just get the few players those days, he is the most electrifying player who was followed by people in my place. My place being a local hub for soccer lovers , we just could not stop our legs to swing like his moves then. Bengal being the mecca of football in India we too there in Orissa just were crazy about football there in berhampur,Orissa in the nineties. I remember the local clubs there which were founded long back in ninteen sixtiess and holding local tournaments were much fascinated by the individual team spirits and greatly followed the Argentine and Brazilian teams. I being a part of the great Barracks Club was a follower of the God. Now to our surprise he is in India and i am just happy to see new sprints and media coverage on his tour to India. What can be said about the God. Coming from scratch he became the God with his tremendous and extraordinary Talent with the ball. He lived football and made the game as popular is it is now. His personality was speaking when he was with the ball. Maradona was the centre figure for few controversies but undoubtedly he is the best player the world has ever seen and we love him...
