Funny that isn't it. I Bet it would've got more coverage in the USA had Cameroon won it. What's really annoyed me about this tournment is that people say the standard of the tournment is so good because of the vast amount of goals scored, but thats the single reason as to why it's so crap. Half the teams still arn't as good as Wales and they can't defend for sh*t! Also African teams are easy to break down because they just don't read the game like Europeans.
I've also noticed Since 1996 when South Africa won the African Cup of Nations (After being re-admitted after apatheid) they have progressively got worse each time they've entered and the team has also ironicaly been getting blacker and blacker, ie, worse and worse!
They kept on ignoring young Andrew Surman (a great young white South African player who plays for Southapmton, England). He is now playing for the England under 21's because it clearly seems as though South Africa want no white soccer players anymore despite extra efforts to make the rugby and cricket teams darker. They also dropped Bradley Carnell, one of there best and most experienced players. World Cup 2010 will be an embarrasment for the South African soccer team and black South Africans alike. Funny how their white rugby team wins a world cup and they are still told to blacken up! The cricket team is now also facing quota action despite being in the top 3 in the world
