Journalistic integrity often involves painstaking research in order to maintain accuracy.



Suffice to say, with regard to this particular “article,” I was more than happy to perform my due diligence and ensure truth in advertising.

Assuming you have not already flipped to the next slide, you might be wondering why there's a picture of Eva Longoria Parker on the title page of a slideshow called "Mexico's Sexiest Fans, WAGs, and Celebrities."

Yes, she is an American, and her ancestry can be traced back to Spain. But the Longoria family immigrated to what is now called Texas in 1603, and that area of land belonged to Mexico until the United States annexed it in 1845. So in a sense, Eva Longoria Parker is from Mexico.

Who says you can’t learn anything by looking at pictures of scantily-clad hot women? Take that, high school guidance counselor!

After 16 years, Diego Armando Maradona makes his return to the FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa. The Argentinian bowed out of world football’s showpiece in 1994 after Argentina's match against Nigeria, a team he now faces as head coach tomorrow in the opening match in Group B.

The Africans, meanwhile, will be looking to avenge the defeat in the final of the Olympic Football Tournament 2008 in China, where La Albiceleste triumphed with a number of players who will be present in Johannesburg. They will be hopeful Swedish coach Lars Lagerback, one of the masterminds behind Argentina’s elimination from 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan, will help them settle an old score.

North Korea's cunning plan to include a extra striker in their World Cup squad by concealing him as a goalkeeper has failed. Manager Kim-Yong Hun only named two regular goalkeepers in his 23, opting to name Kim Myong-Won, usually a centre forward, as third goalkeeper. However, Fifa have scuppered the plan: "The three players listed as goalkeepers can only play as goalkeepers during the Fifa World Cup and cannot play outfield.

World Cup 2010: Is The World Expecting Too Much From Argentina’s Lionel Messi?

The Lionel Messi World Expecting Too Much From Argentina’s World Cup 2010

Lionel Messi is only 22 years old, but in spite of his young age, he has achieved so much at club level. He is surprisingly yet to excel in the national team of Argentina, but his fans and the world believe that the FIFA World Player of the Year can receive forgiveness from his home supporters through a wonderful performance at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Is Lionel Messi too much loaded with expectations ahead of the tournament? This is the question we look at in this article.

Time and time again, Messi has been praised by the press and great football personalities who regard him as a “much” better player than soccer legend Diego Maradona. The current Argentina coach won the 1986 World Cup at the age of 23 in one of the most controversial manners, and although he refuses to accept that his popularity came out of the controversy in the match against England, he agrees that Messi could make a greater achievement for his country in order to become the “greatest” player in the history of football.

Lionel Messi, a great performer
With Barcelona’s unprecedented treble in 2009 and 3 more cups before the end of that year, Messi has won just about everything a club player could ever win. From individual honors to club trophies, the Ballon d’Or winner is deeply aware of the success which makes a player become an idol.

Over the years, Messi has repeatedly been compared to Maradona as a result of his resembling moves and individual achievements. The present UEFA Club Player of the Year has proved to be a mature player this season, having enhanced his goalscoring abilities, to the extent that he now has reasons to expect La Liga Top Scorer and the European Golden Boot awards to fall into his hands.

He is at the moment the Castrol Rankings leader ahead of former Manchester United ace Cristiano Ronaldo; whereas he is also the richest player in the world with an annual income somewhat bigger than David Beckham’s annual profits. While he was growing up, Messi also explored the greatness of a young player for his country’s U-20 youth side, having won the 2005 FIFA Youth Championship and clinching the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot in that tournament.

Moreover, Messi played for Argentina in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, and deservedly, he helped his side progress to the final, only to beat Nigeria and take the trophy home. Perhaps, these facts show how impressively Lionel Messi can shine for his country on certain occasions, but as his attainments were obtained at youth level, fans now wonder whether he will be able to shift his success at senior international level.

Is Lionel Messi “the one”?

This is hard to answer. One might say that Messi just needs to get the comprehension of Coach Maradona who is guilty of not creating a well-organized side, but on the other hand, members of Los Albicelestes should not forget the wishes of their lovers. Nevertheless, having seeing the greatness of “El Mesias” in his club, Argentine fans now want Lionel Messi to lead their team to glory in South Africa at the 2010 World Cup.

Of course, this is where the huge node lies, seeing that Messi isn’t powerful enough to lift and carry a side on his shoulders to win cups. Just like most players, the Barcelona winger is dependent on the contributions from his team mates, and lack of wisdom in the building of the Argentina team finally destroys his display, turning him into an unproductive and “useless” player.

Come the 2010 World Cup, the Argentina national team will not have the right to give excuses to the public, should they experience a disappointing run in the competition–and Messi knows how difficult his task will be. Probably everyone saw his out-of-this-world performance against Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal in the quarterfinals of the Champions League at the Camp Nou when he scored 4 unbeatable goals to sink the Gunners, and everyone understood that on that specific night, it was not Barcelona who won against Arsenal but it was Messi.

This is exactly the show Argentina will want to have at the 2010 World Cup, for it is undeniable that such a display from Messi in addition to good contributions from his country mates will transform the Albicelestes into invincible soldiers. Can Messi live up to expectations and perform in the name of football’s “Messiah”?

Failure to appear as the “Playstation Performer” in South Africa will totally bury his name in Argentina, while success in bringing the cup back to South America after 6 World Cups since the “Hand of God” will seal Messi’s name as the best of all times. Finally, completing his task will be his sole order, as he tries to unlock the gates to the new world for Manager Maradona, Los Albicelestes, and even football in general

FIFA WORLD CUP 2010

FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 Starts in AFTER 1 Day



Airport (Cape Town), with over six million passengers passing through each year and with this figure set to double by 2015, is certainly preparing itself for the growth in tourism, both during and after the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The refurbishments involved the construction of a new central terminal building at a cost of Rand 1.5 million. The Bloemfontein Airport serves as one of South Africa's smaller airports. Bloemfontein Airport handles around 250,000 passengers per year. The runway received attention with a Rand 121 million upgrade to the tarmac, which should see a significant increase in usage during the World Cup. Work on the refurbishment and expansion of the terminal building to the value of Rand 46 million also took place.

Port Elizabeth Airport (Port Elizabeth) will be working as a host city airport for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, with a number of group games as well as one of the quarter-finals will be played at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium. The Eastern Cape coastal city can expect a large increase in visitors during the World Cup as tourism will receive a huge boost and more people will begin to visit the beautiful coastal city. To accommodate the expected increase in traffic, ACSA completed the refurbishment of the runway to the tune of Rand 68 million. Other airports include La Mercy in Durban, where work went quite well on the brand new Rand 7.5 billion airport which has taken on the services of the existing Durban Airport. And with a new terminal, Polokwane International Airport will also be able to handle around 400 passengers per hour.

The South African government has clearly spent very large amounts of money in anticipation of the 2010 World Cup. The boost in tourism for the country as a result of this influx of people from all around the world will develop a softer and cleaner image of the country. This of course explains why so much money has been spent to accommodate the fans who will be flying in. Thus, it is leaving a good impression on the people of the world which is the key to South Africa improving their tourism for many years after the World Cup. South Africa is using this as a chance to attract people to not only come and watch the beautiful game, but stay in their beautiful hotels and resorts and eat their wonderful food. So hats off to South Africa, for taking strides to make the lives of the fans much easier.
