After a very long leave of absence I must say its good to be back talking sports. The Afcon Cup, which was won by Egypt, showed the world that Africa is coming and I am waiting in anticipation for the World Cup in 2010 as I am sure their will be some serious suprise results.
The Super 14 kicked off last week and what a humdinger of a first round, with all the new Experimental Law Variations, and the hunger for the game that was evident from some of the players performances, it is sure to be a cracker!!!
The Premier League is hotting up and as we hit the home stress its is clearly now a three horse race lead by Arsenel who are brimming with confidence, then Manchester United who are looking a bit shaky and Chelsea who have been flying under the raider but getting the results that have kept them in with a shout.
The FA Cup and Champions League are at the business end and now if teams slip up they are out. The teams looking good in the FA Cup are Chelsea, Man United, Portsmouth and giant killers Barnsley. In the Champions League it is a serious toss up as there were so many first round draws but it must be said the 2004/5 Champions Liverpool and 2005/6 Champions Barcelona are looking the part after the first round.
The Golf is blazing it up with the World Golf Championships going on right now and that man Tiger Woods on the prowl. He had to prove that a cat really does have nine lives in the first round by coming back from being 3 down with 5 holes to play against big hitting J.B. Holmes and eentually winning the match 1up. With the first Major coming up in April, The US Masters, the other noteable prize on the cards in 2008 is the Fedex Cup. Points are being earned on weekly basis as all the players strive for play-off spots and the biggest pay check in Golf History - US$10million, which was scooped in 2007 by none other than Tiger himself, can he do it again?
There is plenty more out there and unfortunately I can't cover it all but all I can say is that 2008 is going to be a great year in Sport.
