Final surge begins in Africa

The final phase of African Zone qualifying for South Africa 2010 will begin this weekend, with 20 teams chasing five places at the FIFA World Cup.

Following a hiatus of almost six months, Africa's fight for places at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ will resume this weekend. The final phase of regional qualifying will begin with 20 teams competing for five positions at the global finals.

All but one of the continent's representatives at Germany 2006 are still in contention, with Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Tunisia all playing in separate sections. Angola are the only side who did not progress past the first group phase, which ended last October.

However, returning to the FIFA World Cup at the first time of asking will not be easy for the successful quartet, who must contend with a series of former qualifiers, including Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Morocco and Nigeria. The Egyptians, the reigning African champions, are confident they can make the cut, while the Indomitable Lions will be out to extend their own record of qualifications by an African team to six.

The Vuvuzela is an annoying plastic trumpet that is constantly blown at all soccer/football matches in South Africa. It sounds like a deafening mix of angry elephants trumpeting, a swarm of buzzing bees and a fog horn. What can we do? Go to http://www.banvuvuzela.com/ and Vote!!! Tell your friends and family to do so too. It is our intention to submit these votes to the relevant authorities who can do something about it. Together we can make our 2010 World Cup the best experience for all.
