FIFA was established on May 21, 1904 in Paris by the football federations of Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Organizing the first World Cup championship was granted to Uruguay to honour its achievements in sports (two Olympic gold medals in football) and a centennial of this country's constitution, falling in 1930. Only 13 national teams declared a will to participate in the tournament (top European teams such as England, Scotland, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Spain, Germany, Austria, Hungary didn't enter the competition), so there was no qualifiers. The tournament was organized in two rounds: group games and play-offs. The participating teams were divided into 4 groups by geographical region. 5 teams were seeded: Uruguay (Olympic champion), Argentina (silver medallist), Brazil, USA and Bolivia. During the group games Yugoslavia did very well; so did USA and favourites from Uruguay and Argentina and thes...

All eyes and tongues are about the World Cup. Indeed it is the most exciting thing going on presently, and what with all the passions rising high, creating opportunities to make friendships and hopefully not enemies, lol! for those of us who couldn't go to south africa, I encourage you though, to watch the documentary that comes up about what the world cup means to Africa, about 9pm on bbc1. Alternatively you could find some video streams on the bbc website. It is informative and gives you a chance to experience the 'other' side of the world cup action! 'waka waka eh eh! This time for Africa!!!' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRpeEdMmmQ0

Just got back from a UEA-Sheffield University excursion for art historians and archaeologists to southern Spain! It was amazing - so much to see, so much to do, so much to learn in a very short period of time. One day it was 35 degrees and the next day, it was wind and torrential rain. We learnt about al-Andalus and looked at ongoing excavations as well as Roman mausoleums and various musuems, went to the Alhambra in Granada and the Great Mosque in Cordoba. I want to go back to Guadix to volunteer! Anyone wanna sponsor me? ;p About a dozen of us lived in a house as guests of Atarfe and were very warmly received. Four horses lived in a stable next to our garden - my breakfast companions. The front garden wall of the house was covered in honeysuckle, the sweet strong scent of which mingled with horse dung and was inhaled deeply by each of us at the end of the day when we returned after walking miles and miles under the blistering sun. Made lots of new friends and ate various tapas with e...
