It's the end of August, and the English Premier League (EPL -- not to be confused with the IPL. Bloody acronyms) has only after two weeks swung into full swing. What should we expect? More goals, excitement, controversy and unpredictability? There ha... |

I don't know about you but SA is pretty boring without the World Cup isn't it?
Not really, but the Rainbow Nation has been experiencing the lamest of July hangovers. Doctors are calling it WCW (and it has nothing to do with wrestling) -- World Cup... |

Four years ago, Project 2010 was launched with the aim of providing a free flow of information relating to the preparations for the 2010 World Cup. In our mission statement, we declared our confidence that South Africa would host the greatest World C... |

South Africa 2010 has been a success. It's official. The world's second best newspaper (after the Mail & Guardian of course), the Financial Times, said so today. In an editorial. So it must be true. The naysayers and racists were wrong; Africa ca... |

Vincente del Bosque's men stayed true to themselves and the beautiful game, I still don't know why Germany decided to employ defensive tactics in that game instead of playing the free flowing attacking game that they have been d... |

June 11 seems like an age ago doesn't it? It was only yesterday that us South Africans lost our collective shit in celebrating Siphiwe Tshabalala's goal against Mexico in the opening match of the 2010 World Cup at Soccer City Johannesburg. Since the... |

To have lost 3-0 would have been better, far better, than this. Sport, mirroring life, can be cruel. Very cruel.
