When you hear of the number 23, what comes to mind?

If you thought of Jordans or NBA basketball, you are not widely off, it just shows you are not infected with the world cup fever yet, no need to worry though! it will get to you when the time is right!


In the meantime just lend me your time and read some facts about the world cup  I've managed to gather from 1000s of hours spent at the Library ( 10mins on Google)

#1

Did you know the world cup was not held in 1942 and 1946 due to the second world war and its Aftermath?
Germany and Brazil pledged to host the 1942 and 1946 tournament respectively but due to the war started by Nazi Germany, the intercontinental tournament was put on hold and later revived in 1950.

 Brazil was given the nod to host this tournament as they were the team to have hosted the 1946 tournament. 


Thank you for reading and I hope you come back for more.

Avram Grant will surely not be missed by Ghanaians in anyway ,but one person who’s exit from the senior national side was missed by most Ghanaians in the “Don of Grant”  was Ghana’s own James Kwesi Appiah ,who managed the senior side from 2012-2014 and went into the record books as the first Ghana

Kwadwo Asamoah will not be playing for Inter Milan in the knockout stage of the Uefa Europa League this season. The 31-year-old was excluded from the selection on Monday while Nigeria’s Victor Moses made the 22-man team for the competition. Asamoah’s last outing for the Nerazzurri was against Roma on December 6 when he came on as a 72nd-minute substitute, and since then, he has been battling to regain match fitness after recovering from a knee injury.
