Finally the FIFA World Cup Championship has begun – as I type this entry I’m watching Mexico play South Africa in the opening match. The 2010 games has a lot of “firsts”; the first time ever on the continent of Africa, the first for South Africa, the first for two Koreas at the same time, and of course the new ball – always controversial. But for all of us who love the beautiful game, nothing else matters except the play on the pitch. My only issues is that I will have to reduce the number of rounds of golf I get in each week – will probably drop to 3 or 4 times a week – oh well it only happens every four years. For those of you in my FIFA Pool check your standings daily after play – Good Luck. MPC
