Soccer Fever

The 2010 World Cup of Soccer is not but a little under 3 years away but I still can't seem to stop thinking about it. The whole world's attention will be placed directly on the most diverse and most beautiful continent in this world but the sad part of this is that only 5 African nations are going to be represented at these festivities; very depressing.

The 2010 World Cup of soccer is not but a little under 3 years away but I still can't seem to stop thinking about it. The whole world's attention will be placed directly on the most diverse and most beautiful continent in this world but the sad part of this is that only 5 African nations are going to be represented at these festivities; very depressing. I've always wondered why Africa is only allowed to send five countries when other continents are allowed just as much even though they don't have half as many countries. There are 205 countries bidding for a spot in South Africa and a quarter of these cuntries are from Africa. Come on FIFA, give us a break for once! Among the 53 lucky nations is my mother land Ghana, the Black Stars of Africa. Their previous World Cup achievments has layed a very strong foundation in the hearts of all Ghanaians and they are expected to follow up such a magnificent achievement with another great showing on the world's stage come 2010.I guess the reason why i can't seem to relieve myself of the 2010 fever is because I'm playing soccer for Nipissing University, a team with just 4 African players, resembling the ratio of the African countries able to participate in South Africa. There are 2 Gambians, a Zambian, and a Ghanaian (me) so with a team like ours we're sure to do great things this year in the OUA (Ontario University Athletics). Soccer fever is running through my blood and only the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa can heal me. Go Africa Go!
