FunFact Fridays

Happy Friday!!

Hope you all looking forward to the weekend. Its not just Random Friday where you allowed to do anything random and=d get away with it, its Football Friday folks. Hope you all wearing your Soccer jerseys and showing that pride and support to your home team. I still have to purchase mine, but in spirit, I'm with South Africa.

Before i give you 5 fun facts to keep you going this weekend, earlier this week i told you that the stadiums which will host the soccer games during the 2010 FIFA World Cup will are ready and just need minor touches? I'm proud to say that yesterday Soccer City in Johannesburg (opening and closing matches will Be played here) was handed over to the City of Johannesburg and declared ready for the 2010 FIFA World Cup!!!!! Now that's AYOBA!! (AYOBA- another way to say cool, fabulous, great, superb etc)

Now the opening match is between South Africa and Mexico: Did you know that Mexico was the 1st country to have hosted two World Cup?

I'm hoping we all know that soccer is the most popular sport in the World?

Now did you know that West Germany (currently Germany) was the 1st team from Europe to win the FIFA World Cup in 1954?

Players run as many as 6 or 7 miles during the course of the game?

Last but definitely not least, the proper name for "soccer" is "association football"?

That's it from me...until next time
Have an AYOBA weekend!!!
