Editor,

As an ardent soccer fan, I have been watching and following the World Cup closely. Being the first time the tournament is being held in Africa, I would like to see African teams shine. I must say, that so far I am impressed.

The boys have shown class and technique similar to the great footballing nations that have lifted the trophy before. I know people have different country’s they support, but lets all rally behind the Africans.

It may be early to predict an African country lifting the trophy, but you never know, in football anything can happen.
