African Cup of Nations 2010
By: Anshul

     Hello, Room 19 and 24. Did you ever here of the African Cup of Nations? It is basically like the World Cup of soccer in Africa. This year, the country Angola is hosting the competition. The country Egypt beat Ghana in the finals 1-0. The "best" players chosen were Essam El-Hadary for goalkeeping, Madjid Bougherra, Wael Gomaa, and Mabina for defense. Ahmed Fathy, Peter Odemwingie, Alexandre Song, and Ahmed Hassan were the best in midfield. Asamoah Gyan, Mohammed Zidan, and Flavio won the award for forwarding. The player of the tournament of Ahmed Hassan. In total, Geddo scored the most goals with five goals. Runners ups in this this tournament are Ghana, second place, and Nigeria, third place. I seriously recommend you watching the soccer tournaments. Are any of you interested in watching any sport tournaments such as the Super Bowl? If so, which one and why?

I don't really watch any tournaments. I like watching basketball. I watched a Nba tournament before.That was the only one I watched and liked. I like it because sometimes at the last possible second, a player shoots a basket and his team wins.

I want to watch any soccer game wether it is the superbowl or not. The only reason I want to watch it is that it is my favorite sport. I don't just want to see a a soccer game-I also want to see the Steelers play the Raiders.

I am interested in watching the soccer World Cup that is coming up this summer. I like watching the World Cup because I like soccer a lot and and I like watching the players scoring fabulous goals. The last World Cup was in 2006(a long time ago). I wonder who will win the world cup this time. Last time, Italy won the gold trophy and France won the silver trophy. Brazil might win this year's World Cup because they have won a lot of other world cups. Sadly,United States has won zero world cups.
