World Cup 2010 Blog: Mr Bojan-goals has clearly been watching someone in training
World Cup 2010 Blog: Mr Bojan-goals has clearly been watching someone in training |  |
| Mr Bojan-goals has clearly been watching someone in training Posted: 26 Dec 2009 09:43 AM PST Its a couple of days old now, but a great goal is always a great goal. Catalonia played against Argentina in a match that saw the legendary Johan Cruyff manage from the sidelines against the legendary Diego Maradona. Although only one of those is a managerial legend at this moment in time – and his team ran out 4-2 winners. It was a great game (if unofficial) and the highlight was Catalonia’s second goal, scored by Barca benchwarmer Bojan Krkic, which seemed reminiscent of someone on the sidelines of the team he was playing, and even more so of someone he trains with day in day out. Some of the other goals weren’t bad either, makes you wonder how well Catalonia would do if they were to become a nation of their own – though its obviously impossible to judge on just the one match, and and one that obviously doesn’t really count for anything.

| Soundoff: Should a Cow Be Slaughtered at Every World Cup 2010 Stadium in South Africa? Posted: 23 Dec 2009 11:10 AM PST Seems like an easy “no” when you look at the above image. But it’s not quite that simple. The Makhonya Royal Trust, an organization which promotes traditional South African culture and values, plans to keep with tradition and slaughter an animal at every World Cup 2010 stadium as part of a cultural ceremony. Animal rights activists are obviously not keen on the idea. I don’t imagine the cows are either. FIFA has remained neutral so far. Possibly because they’re based in Switzerland. But sometime between now and June 2010, the cows in question either will or won’t be slaughtered. So what we have here is a clash of tradition vs modern values. Should FIFA respect the traditions of the nation it chose to host World Cup 2010? Or should FIFA prevent the (arguably) needless slaughter of an innocent animal? I honestly don’t know what the correct answer is. Do you?

| See How the World Cup 2010 Match Ball Gets Made Posted: 23 Dec 2009 06:24 AM PST I am naive. I had imagined that each World Cup 2010 addias Jabulani match ball (and all official match balls for that matter) – was lovingly hand stitched by elderly and highly skilled craftsmen and women, using nothing but a pigs bladder, a leather hide, and a sewing needle. Either that or an army of Chinese children with tiny fingers. Turns out it’s neither. The official matchball of World Cup 2010 is made in a factory, like pretty much everything else in the world. Still, kind of interesting to see the process. Click here for a closer look at the World Cup matchball.
