Did you know? Brazil have never lost a match against an African side at the World Cup - in fact, our continent has never even collectively scored a single goal against the mighty champions, in four previous encounters.
That sterling Brazilian record’s set for some tarnish this afternoon in Dortmund, however, where the Black Stars of [...]

According to reports, the entire Ghanaian World Cup team has been holed up in its hotel since the nation’s historic win over the USA last Thursday, having retained various African traditional healers to help them channel a host of world-beating spirits, ahead of their DVG clash with Brazil tomorrow.

In the end, Tunisia bowed out of the World Cup with a 1-nil loss to the Ukraine. This leaves Ghana to carry Africa’s hopes forward - against (gulp) Brazil this Tuesday.

In all likelihood, Tunisia will follow the majority of Africa’s World Cup teams today, and bow out of the competition. They face a tough opponent in the Ukraine this afternoon, but still have a slim chance of joining the round of 16. Here’s the scenario, courtesy Bob at WorldCupBlog:

Halala! Ghana beat the USA 2-1 this afternoon to accompany Italy, Group E winners, into the World Cup’s round of 16. It was an engaging match, with a very soft penalty-spot call by the referee giving Ghana the edge. All the goals came in the first half - the USA created a few score-tying chances [...]

Angolan Angst Ahead a’ Alarmed Arabs

OK, first off the bat, apologies to the Iranians for using the term “Arab” to allude to a country that, as everyone knows, is full of Persians. It’s just that I needed a word beginning with “a”, and, well Persians aren’t all that far away from Arabs, in geographic terms - much in the same [...]

In a game that’s expected to attract a viewership in the upper hundreds, Africa’s once-brightest hope, Ivory Coast, will see their expedition to Germany come to a close, during tonight’s clash with lowly, but lowly, Serbia & Montenegro. Both teams are playing for a trophy called “pride”, which, apparently, doesn’t exist in three dimensions, unlike [...]
