World Cup victory for Africa a mere dream

Somebody coined the phrase 'feel it. It is here', and goodness, they are feeling it. Even though this is the first ever Soccer World Cup to be held in Africa, the frightful truth staring at the continent is that no African team will win this cup, in fact, no African team will reach the semifinals.

One or two teams may make it into the last 16 but that would be just about it.  'Ke nako, it is time', is quickly appearing to be a slogan to mean nothing more than it is time for Africa to be beaten on home soil.

"There is a new rule, if you touch it by the hand once, foul, if you play it by hand twice no foul," Luiz Felipe Scolari jokingly said in his Portuguese accent as the Ivory Coast/Brazil game ended. One of the goals was an excellent finish by Brazilian forward Louis Fabiano but not before he had handled the ball twice as he juggled it over the Ivorian defenders heads. Heavy hearts across the continent yet again as perhaps the team viewed as the best possible candidate for an extended run in this competition succumbed to a 3-1 defeat. This was despite a brilliant start to the game.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
