What do you get when you take one on-form European team: Portugal, one team of minnows: North Korea, add a generous splash of rain to give it that European feel, and then mix it all up in Cape Town? World Cup 2010's first true goal-fest.
Portugal pulled out the stops yesterday to hand North Korea the thumping of a life time.…
If you haven't seen it yet, I'm sure you've heard or read about it. But just in case you haven't, here are the highlights, beautifully depicted in Lego...
I bet goalkeeper Robert Green feels more of a wally now.
Just in time for the World Cup, Google have added Google Street View to the maps of South Africa. Now you can mozy around South Africa from the comfort of your own home, any where in the world.
Not only that, they also sent the man on his bicycle into some of the stadiums so you can get a good look…
This has got to be the most impressive World Cup 2010 calendar thingy I've seen so far for the world cup that starts on Friday: Marca.com's Interactive 2010 World Cup Calendar...
It's pretty impressive and makes those magazine/newspaper pullouts and every free iPhone app I've seen look silly.

As we enter the final week in the build up to the start of Africa's first football World Cup, it's time to get your flags out in true South African style - it all kicks off on Friday and you don't want to be seen to be unprepared.

Before heading over to France to play a bit of French club rugby (and relinquish his chances of being selected for the Boks for a while), Francois Steyn built himself quite a reputation for being a big kicker who could easily slot the ball between the opposition's posts from within his own half, but check out this drop goal, it's …
Just when I was considering ordering a couple of big boxes of vuvuzelas to resell in the UK, I find out Sainsburys are shipping in over 50000 vuvuzelas and they'll be undercutting the price I was considering (I'm not going to reveal my hand) when they go on sale in May for £2 a pop.

What an exciting game yesterday's British Lions vs The Springboks test was. It was a really exciting and nail biting game which, given the way the game started and the overall statistics, South Africa really shouldn't have won.
