Football (كرة القدم) is the most popular sport in the Arab world, and it is the passion of the majority of Arab young people, especially young men. I am not a big fan of football, may be because I am neither young nor man, but I still follow the news of the championship. World Cup 2010 (كأس العالم لكرة القدم 2010), started on the 11th of June with 32 teams including only one Arab team (فريق عربي), i.e. Algeria (الجزائر)
The inauguration ceremony (حفل الافتتاح) in South Africa (جنوب أفريقيا) was simple and it reflected the culture of South Africa.
We have four weeks of excitement (التشويق) till the final match (المباراة النهائية) on the 11th of July. I cannot predict which team will win. Can you?
