For those who haven't got tired of football (but we don't see how anyone can) then why not see the final of The African Challenge League which will take place at Mälarhöjdens IP on Saturday 31st JULY 2010 at 16:30 (Tube station Fruängen).
The TAIFA STARS OF TANZANIA will be battling it out with The HARAMBEE STARS of KENYA (pictured above) for the magnificent SAAS trophy which will be presented to the victorious side after the game.
Well, if you weren't aware you're watching a football game you'd probably think it was a wildlife documentary. It is quite understandable how non-African viewers have found the 'buzzing' Vuvuzelas irritating, and that officials of the World Cup are being flooded with complaints about the loud plastic trumpets, they claim to be “the sound of Africa”.
Hold on a sec, plastic trumpets - "The sound of Africa"...hmmm...not sure we agree here; is that the only audible contribution the sound-, smell- and colourful African continent has to offer?
Never before has an African country been afforded the opportunity to host such a prestigious sporting event in order to show the world what South Africa - and Africans - has to offer. With less than 3 days away we can understand why many Swedes haven't been swept up in the excitement, having not made it to the finals, but the World Cup is the perfect reason to take a month off work (if you can)! Alternatively, sneak a TV into the office or maybe bring in your headphones for those exciting radio updates.
Will the favourites, Spain walk away as winners? Will the news of England’s Rio Ferdinand’s injury bury their hopes of success?
To increase your football appetite we've trawled the net for the best SA World Cup football adverts to set you in the mood. So kick back, grab a beer and cheer - when the boss isn't looking of course..
Yeah, I had nearly forgotten too. I had also forgotten the positive effect the World Cup will have on Africa. On match days the atmosphere will be incredible and the newly built sport facilities that remain after the World Cup will surely bring future stars to world football.
Although we’ll be here in Sweden, sadly thinking of what might have been if Sweden had attended, we would like to invite you to watch a few matches with us in Stockholm and Uppsala. Drop us a mail and we’ll post you more details.
Manchester United football star, Ryan Giggs, has traced his family tree back to Sierra Leone.
The Man Utd and Wales winger, 35, had been studying his genealogy and discovered his dad's grandparents were from the African state. It prompted Giggsy to visit Sierra Leone with Unicef to raise awareness of HIV.
Now lets see if he faces any racial abuse when he plays in Spain!
The Old Trafford superstar revealed that he was impressed by the courage of sufferers he met.
He told ITV's News at Ten: "You hear all the time that a footballer is brave going into a tackle or going up for a header. That's not bravery. "A 21-year-old lad who was telling me that he's HIV positive and that he wants to educate other people, that he wants to help stop it happening to others - that's bravery."
