Ghana Want Balotelli for World Cup

There are talks that Ghana manager Miroslav Rajevic may visit Milan soon to enter National team talks with Mario Balloteli.  The Italian-born Inter hot-head is the product of two Ghanian parents, making him an option for Ghana ahead of World Cup 2010.  "Super Mario" is also being persuaded to join by fellow Ghanian and teammate Sulley Muntari.  He has only graced the pitch for the under-21 Italian National squad.  FIFA rules would have no objections if Balotelli were to play for Ghana in South Africa.  Rajevic also has fellow Serb Dejan Stankovic lobbying for Mario's move to play for Ghana.

Rajevic thinks Balotelli would be an awesome acquistion for the African side, as do I.  He's praised the young Italian's ability...

 "He is a great talent and can become one of the best strikers in the world...
Mario has the chance to take part in the World Cup with one of the most interesting teams and his arrival would be welcomed with enthusiasm. It’s up to him: we’d be happy to have him at our disposal."

Certainly Balotelli will not throw this opportunity away, right?  Who wants to represent an openly racist country anyway?  Truely a Balotelli switch to Ghana is not good news for the likes of Portugal and Brazil.  What do you think Balotelli should do?

The Egyptians Do It Again

It seems since the ancient days of the pharaohs the Egyptians have been constantly surprising us.  Today the Egyptian football team won their 3rd consecutive Africa Cup of Nations, with a 1-0 victory against the impressive Ghana.  They also set a new record for most ACN matches without being defeated (19).  Ghana and Nigeria came in 2nd and 3rd respectively.


So what is it that makes this Mediterranean country such a powerhouse lately?  Could they be taking top secret powers from the Great Pyramids?


What is the correct way to signal the number 3???
