Ups and Oeps

Up they go. The worldcup is done and dusted, and now Bafana Bafana start climbing the FIFA rankings. We gotta teach them timing!!

The new list reveals our boys jumped 6 spots and are now 52nd. I think we were somewhere near 82nd when the worldcup kick off. But I might be a bit wrong cuz the football showcase seems looooooong gone.

World champions Spain are still number one. The Dutch are 2nd and Brazil 3rd. Russia jumped from 25th to number 10. They were not even in South Africa. First African team is Egypt on the 11th spot. Ghana is 17th and Drogba's boys 2 spots lower. Papa New Guinea is 203rd and last.

From Up to Oeps! Earlier this month Germany beat Turkey 3-0 in a Euro 2012 qualifier. All fine. But then German Chancellor Angela Merkel rushed into the dressing room to congratulate the lads. Angela appologized afterwards. Hope there were enough beach towels!
