In 1982, Algeria made their first appearance at the World Cup. I believe it was the first Arab country to do so.

My father and I rarely saw eye to eye when I was growing up. We saw the world differently. It was only when we were both adults that we were able to share spectacles. However, football, and particularly the World Cup, was when we, enemy combatants, could traverse trenches and be together.

Nobody is offered a World Cup.

Take on the confront of leading your home nation from qualification right through to a virtual re-creation of the fifa world cup Final and feel what it is like to score the goal that lifts a nation. Every four years the football world gets mutually for the first showing tournament in the sport, and the World Cup 2010 football tournament is shaping up to be an exciting one.

The World Cup is a truly International event.

I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.
