Interesting bits about this World Cup

1. I like the way the France verses South Africa referee was insisting on showing players a yellow or red card to their face, he made sure it was in their face, which included running after some hardheaded ones, in addition, raising his yellow in dramatic fashion.
2. Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo did something heroic he gave his man of the match award to his teammate Tiago. Amazing! Will the real Cristiano Ronaldo stand up? For once, he was not indulging in self-importance. Kudos Cristiano.
3. Is it me or do African teams play their best when it does not matter. As for Nigeria, Cameroon, Algeria, Ivory Coast. Next time score early. Settle the matter while the sun is still shining not when it is about to set on you.
4. At times Sub-Saharan Africa wonders if Algeria is an African team, but judging from the way they have been playing in this tournament, missing shots just in front of the goal, wide shots, and nice runs towards their opponent goals before losing possession.
Verdict: 100% African.
5. From last nights play, USA looked more African than the Algerian team.
6. A lesson from Algeria, who have a local African coach, maybe the problem is not with the white over paid foreign coaches that African nations prefer, because Algeria still did not qualify. After all, even if you get a local coach, the players are still the same. Its still Samuel Etoo who threatens not to play for his country during the world cup, coaches and players need a complete overhaul.
7. For Raymond Domenech unless an angel appears to you and orders you to follow the stars, like the wise men of days past. Do not trust them.
8. The Germany team should have won white and Ghana black; after all, they are the black stars. Now they were the black stars in white jerseys. Everyone thought Germany was in white. Depending on the size of your TV.
9. Finally it is always good to see two sets of happy fans in one stadium, the Ghanaian and German fans. They all had a reason to celebrate together after their teams qualified for the knock out stage of the World Cup. On the other hand, the Australian and Serbian fans must have been fully disappointed. It only happens in the world cup.
