The African World Cup is drawing near and things are heating up fast! Right now the games are on as to which country and team will qualify for the much-awaited sporting event. Egypt and Algeria are two of the countries that vying for the World Cup. However, these two countries are not on the best terms when it comes to this event because 20 years ago, a brutal riot between the two teams occurred when Egypt won in 1-0 score against Algeria. Since then, none of them has qualified for the coveted Cup.

The moment of truth is going to take place in the 80,000-capacity Cairo Stadium on Saturday. I’m sure all the fans are all excited about this World Cup qualifying game.

They say that children have a way of changing a person’s priorities. And this seems to be the case with Tennis’ Number 1 Roger Federer. Although he still wants to finish as No.1, there will be some changes in his commitment to the game. Federer says the arrival of his twin girls, Myla and Charlene, makes him want to be the best parent he can. At this moment, he can’t be there most of the time to take care of his babies. Most of the responsibility falls on his wife Mirka who gave birth to the twins last month. According to Federer after the US Open and until the end of the year, he will just take things easy, be more of a Dad, and decide then what his game plan for next year will be.

Who is Stephen Strasburg? This name is suddenly making waves in the baseball world. He is the top pick in the June draft and this is his first foray into Major League Baseball. He will be playing for the Washington Nationals. Being the top draft, Stephen Strasburg is given a great contract with the Nationals. With his agent Scott Boras, Strasburg signed on a $15.1 million deal, breaking the record of the highest amount paid to a draft pick which is $10.5 million to Mark Prior by Chicago Cubs in 2001. The $15.1 million is broken as $7.5 signing bonus, $2 million annual salaries for 2010, $2.5 million in 2011, $ 3 million in 2012, and $400,000 prorated share of major league salary for the present season. I must say he signed the deal just in the nick of time!
