World Cup 2010 the good, bad and the ugly

The curtains have closed for the World Cup in South Africa and Spain for the first time become the deserving Champions. Surely I enjoyed this World Cup but also there were some disappointing events that prevented this event from being perfect.

 The Good: Teams like Spain, Germany, Uruguay and Japan have shown the world a whole new side of modern football and how team work, formation and tactics can win games and deliver mind blowing , free flowing Football style.

 The Bad: Bad Refereeing, controversial calls and no calls, headache maker vuvuzelas, jabulani ball and lastly FIFA.

 The Ugly: Dutch team and their tactics in the final, Nigel de Jong and his flying sparrow kick in the chest of Xabi Alonso, Van Bommel and his constant tackles plus leg breaking sliding tackles that were often ignored by Refs. I did hope that they might play their Total Football but they chose to be remembered as one of the worst offenders at World Cup Final.

 Thanks for Reading now off to Summer Holidays.

Ole Ole Ole!

6 hours until the biggest sporting tournament on the planet, the first match is between South Africa and Mexico, and I'm tipping for a win to El Tri 2-1 probably.

It is so exciting and can't wait for the ball to roll.

Football Fever is on.

Americans are not stupid. Must watch clip

Watch this and crack yourself up

FIFA World Cup. Are we ready?

 58 days until the biggest sporting tournament on the planet and are the teams ready? By now most coaches have already made up their minds about their final lineups but It seems to me that Japan is still in doubt of what it needs to do to get its act together after a string of disappointing results of draws and losses. My favourites to make it to the semi-finals are Brazil, Spain, Germany and Holland, what are yours?

http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/  is where you can find out more about this event in South Africa. 

It's on 11th of June.

Champions League progressing teams.

 This year has gotten a lot more interesting after Manchester United was knocked out of the Competition by Bayern Munich 4-4 on aggregate, it was an awesome display of courage and the will of winning after going 3-0 down in the first half, Robben and Ribery proved to be the most lethal partnership among all the big clubs at the moment and I wouldn't play down the possibility of Bayern progressing to the Final.
 So it will be Inter vs Barcelona and Bayern vs Lyon in the Semis.
 No English club remaining this year which is a great surprise but in Football anything is possible.

Hopi arts

On a recent trip to America, I had a wonderful chance to catch up with a couple of my good friends from Arizona, the Native Indians from Hopi and Dakota tribes. We had a good time and in the end, I gained a lot of new knowledge about their way of life and how the tribes operate. I was blown away by their culture, their beliefs, prophecies and how nature bound they are, and how they preserve their way of life through making jewelry, waving baskets, carving dolls...etc. I was shown some beautiful silver pieces handcrafted by artists such as Fernando, Shirley..I couldn't  resist the charm and beauty of these carefully made bangles and found myself on my way home with some of the best looking, story telling ones in my bag.

I would like to honour these Hopi artists by introducing them to you. They are available for your collection at www.dewyucca.com and we also ship overseas, just send us an email if you can't read Japanese and we will guide you through.
Thank you and Aho
