Africa Cup of Nations Angola 2010

The Africa Cup of Nations 2010 kicked off yesterday with the opening match between host Angola and Mali. With Angola leading 4-0 at the 74 minute mark, the end result at full time was unbelievable. I don't think I've ever watched a top draw soccer match featuring such a comeback.

The tournament continued today with another shocker: Malawi defeated Algeria 3-0; and Cup favorites Ivory Coast were held to a 0-0 draw by Burkina Faso.

On Tuesday, Jan. 12,  Nigeria's Super Eagles take on the Egyptian Pharaohs; and Mozambique will tackle Benin. On Wednesday, Jan. 13, Cameroon v. Gabon; and Tunisia v. Zambia.

The matches are not televised in the U.S., but you can watch them all live at www.allsoccerafrica.com, click on the myafricanfootball banner or the Orange Africa Cup of Nations 2010 banner.

    Thanks for the much needed info. Way to go allsoccerafrica.com !

    So good to know that outside of getting sore fingers trying to find the live matches on our expanded cable channels there is a place we can all go to watch the tournament.

    Thanks for the option so now instead of sorting through the reality shows for something real and refreshing, this is just the cool cup of Africa we need.

    Ahhhh Asante.

    Karibu sana. So, from now until the 31st, it's on!

    I hope the African representatives for the World Cup will take this opportunity to fine tune their skills. So far they've been disappointing.

    Algeria got trashed by underdog Malawi 3-0, Nigeria dismantled by Egypt 3-1, Ivory Coast could only manage a draw 0-0 to Burkina Faso. Cameroon plays tomorrow, lets see how they do. Ghana has not played...

    Other than that, there have been plenty of goals.

    My ladies and some gentlemen out there, have you seen the jerseys on the players? Oh, Man!!! Those PUMA body fitting jerseys are killing me softly...LOL! Wonder why Nigeria accepted those loose fitting ADIDAS jerseys...LOL. Wonder how much work I am going to get done this month; I'd rather spend my free time catching up on athletic 22 men running around in tight jerseys chasing a ball, ha!

    Are you gonna play the Fantasy game? My team is beating hubby's team with all his mouth!

    Oh, Sarah, thanks. But not for much longer will this distraction have a hold on me. :-)

Swallow Me

Swallow me whole without sedation. Sample the truth my heart's vibration. Limb by limb take me in. In every crevice you will find Hints Teetering, dancing around life's rim. Swallow lest the precipice invites me in. Swallow me whole Smack your lips Seal them with my single wish Brimful, the Marrow Of My Love.

See the World, No Visa Required

Early last month a friend sent me an email with the subject FW: Student Cultural Exchange. "Exciting opportunity," the two words leaped at me as I slugged three short paragraphs to grasp the important details. Age range: 13-16, male or female. Commitment: 1 week, July 6th to 13th. I made note that only eight privileged friends were recipients of the message. Until I read the last sentence, "Feel free to share with others!" My friend is charming, but she is also practical. Interestingly, our thirteen-year-old conceded reluctantly to the novel idea of hosting a Chinese student for one week. My guess is that his regular summer routine - daily swim team practices, and swim meets every Thursday evening - causes little anxiety. In addition, sticking to his assigned school projects and reading lists, is easy and comfortable. Moreover, when we sat to discuss the opportunity that evening, he must have thought hard about the adjustments required, about coming out of a c...

Kilimanjaro

By HANA NJAU-OKOLO Kilimanjaro You are I am Melting. Those patterns etched into your face Are tears carved under my eyes Draining through the mask. A glacial screen The landscape of my life Frozen into the familiar. Snow-cap Washing away As men in their folly Plunder the spoils of the earth. Face-to-face you say Do not weep for me Weep for yourself And for your children. For the Sahara And its spreading. For your soul Marooned on an Island of dreams Unfulfilled.
