Yes all you sports fans, the fever has started. The temperature is still tolerable, but it is getting warmer by the day. We have 84 days to go before the World Cup begins. We will start looking at the groups and teams involved. I won't be picking a favorite right now, as I am still learning a lot more about these teams. It is quite fascinating. So lets tie our boots and get ready to kick off our analysis.....
Group A
South Africa Mexico Uruguay France
This could be a mini group of death based on the teams involved. Uruguay and France have won the World Cup one time each, 1930 and 1998 respectively. Mexico is the powerhouse from CONCACAF and have made it to the World Cup 14 times. South Africa the hosts, got a automatic bye, but have shown tremendous improvement, especially last year at the Confederations Cup where they held Brazil and Spain for long periods, with those teams only able to beat them by 1 clear goal.
Tomorrow we will dive deeper into South Africa hoping to deflect any shots that come our way...Bafana Bafana
Bolt to run 300 Meters
Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt will compete in the rarely contested 300m race for the first time at the traditional Czech Golden Spike meet in May. Organisers said on Wednesday that Bolt, who holds the world record in 100 and 200 metres, will attempt to break the world mark in the distance on May 27 in Ostrava. Michael Johnson holds the current mark of 30.85 seconds. “I have done some 300s in training so I am used to the distance but this will be my first time to race it,” Bolt said. “If the weather is good I hope to run a fast time.”

David Beckham arrived in London with his wife Victoria on Wednesday after flying in from the Finnish clinic where he had surgery for a torn Achilles’ tendon. With his left leg in a cast, Beckham flew in on a private jet. He injured his foot on Sunday and will be sidelined for about six months, forcing him to miss the World Cup in South Africa.
