CONGRATULATION, NIGERIA!

I can say nothing but "Congratulation, Nigeria!". We know that Super Eagles was having their hard times before; Not qualified to World Cup 2006 in German, Failed in previous Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), and Nigeria got only one point in FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa.

This February has been a good month for them. As we know, Ghana and Ivory Coast were nominated for AFCON trophy. But, we all just watched the super final in February 10th between Nigeria versus Burkina Faso.

Johannesburg's Soccer City was the one of the witnesses! You know, I thought Burkina Faso would be a new champion just like Zambia in AFCON 2011. And my prediction went wrong since Sunday Mba's goal ruined Burkina Faso in first half. FYI, this AFCON trophy was the third for Nigeria.

All of this makes the "black continent" has many good teams that will be a big bomb in Brazil's World Cup 2014. I predict that Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and South Africa/ Egypt will be a great team in the next world cup. Don't forget, guys! There will be a Confederation Cup this year in Brazil and there will be 8 teams from 6 continents heating up the contest.

EURO 2012 POLAND-UKRAINE: SPAIN MADE A NEW RECORD

EURO 2012 Poland-Ukraine finally had ended in 2/07/2012 in Indonesia or 1/7/2012 in Europe. "La Furia Roja" made a new record. Spain has been the first team that can be a UEFA EURO CUP Champion twice in a row (2008 & 2012). Besides, Spain is the first team in the world that can be a champion in three big tournaments in a row (Euro 2008, FIFA World CUP 2012, and Euro 2012) . Spain did a remarkable final for knocking Italy down with 4-0 and it was unpredicted before.

Congratulation for Torres who grabbed the golden shoes, an award for a top scorer. Last Sunday was the second goal of Torres in second UEFA EURO Cup (2008 & 2012) final, how amazing! By the way, there's a unique fact in last Euro Cup final, there were three scorers from British Premier League; Torres and Mata (Chelsea) and David Silva (Manchester City).

Two thumbs up for Iker Casillas who had one goal against only. He got better from time to time and I hope Real Madrid will shine as brighter as Casillas did for the next season.
