FIFA World Cup(TM) is here!
The World CupTM is here an I am really excited and feel much entertained so far! No, I am not that 
typical african / south american type of fan, I feel bored at times when watching football.
Until now I’ve followed just two of the matches - but those were definetly the two best so far! Sure, first Germany vs. Costa Rica 3:2 (quite mandatory as a mzungu and german) and right now Argentina vs. Cote d’Ivoire 2:1. The latter, a real spectacular match. And I must admit that I was quite biased for Cote d’Ivoire. What a pity the could not take the lead and missed so many chances! (more details here) I hope the will knock out Holland in the next match ;-).
What I am also excited about is kickoff2006, a event taking place in my church in Stuttgart. Here is a excerpt what this ist about from kickoff2006.org :
[…] The thrilling atmosphere of exciting matches, dream passes and bad passes, tears of joy and tears of sorrow, cultural highlights outside the stadiums and events around the Cup matches. The world will be our guest here in Germany – a huge challenge for Christians from different churches and fellowships. To address this new challenge, a network of co-workers
from churches and fellowships and Christian organisations, as well as from national and international Christian sports ministries has been created.
I case you are arround, you are very welcome to the citychapel in Stuttgart. Our Location is a “kickoff:Base”. All matches are projected on our large screen and we have lots of action, bands, snacks and beverages arround for you. We are thrilled to have people from all over the globe here in germany, karibu sana!

What or how are Africans/South Americans Fan type? LOL .Just curious on your response….
*g*, did you watch the game Czech Republic vs Ghana this evening? 0:2! Great! What I ment is that (most of the time) I am not that “enthusiastic outgoing party” type fan. They really party the whole time, - no matter if their team wins or not - and have lots of fun. (Okay, the party is probably better if their team wins ;-))
Hey , I know what you mean but me ahh African in me = party the whole time .I went to an Ivorian match watching/partying and it was insanely rowdy and pulling non-Ivorian in the mix not withstanding. I love that partying mood lose or Win ! So Nway I understand, I see the Kenyan partying mode didn’t rub on you yet LOL
