World Cup Fever

June 18th, 2010 by Anthea | Filed under Stuff.

Hi Girl Powerettes!

Happy Friday! Yay! What a week it’s been, it seems World Cup fever has taken over the country! So Australia lost the last game, but it is awesome that everyone is getting excited about sport and fitness, isn’t it? Getting active, working as a team, having fun – sounds like a recipe for a perfect afternoon. 

Our New Zealand readers must be pretty excited too. The NZ team scored a goal in the last few minutes of injury time to come home with a tie. It was also the team’s first World Cup goal ever! Yippee! 

As a side note – how cute is the World Cup mascot? His name is Zakumi and he is a leopard. His motto is, “Zakumi’s game is Fair Play!” Sounds like a fab motto to me! 

For more fun FIFA facts, grab this month’s issue of GP! You’ll be a super soccer expert in no time!

  2. I have recently just taken up Tennis. I really love it. It is so much fun running around the court hitting the ball but it is also very tiring,
    My favourite tennis players are Rafael Nadal and sam Stosur,
    I have been playing tennis for 4 weeks now.
    I would love it if you could put something about the great sport in your mag. :)
