FIFA - 50 Years OF African Football
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!

To promote Africa’s increasingly important role in world football and to hype up the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, footie governing body FIFA has released “50 Years Of African Football”, a five-DVD retrospective of, you guessed it, football in Africa. It contains videos, photographs, text…AND IS FOR FREE ONLINE!!!!! and are offering a free online preview.

Soccer-wise, Africa has a lot going on during the next two years. Along with the World Cup, there’s also the increasingly-popular-but-never-televised African Cup Of Nations tourney, also in 2010. There are a few other big competitions going on there as well.

Watching this requires, at least, the most up-to-date versions of the Adobe Flash and Windows Media Players. I say “at least” because I’ve only been jumping around the site a little bit and that’s all I’ve found as far as techy stuff for this site goes. As a heads-up, I had trouble launching the video. On the whole, you will DEFINITELY need a fast computer for this site.

But no matter how old your computer is, you need to at least TRY and watch this because I have hunch it’s good….really good. WATCH PREVIEW IT NOW!!!!!!

My wife is out of town this weekend so in between footie matches, I’ll be on this site BIG TIME!!!! This is a good day!!!
