American football with the help of the NFL will be globally played. They are soon to set foot in the United Kingdom and also make a return to Mexico City in the course of this year. The NFL association has hopes to extend the American football to Germany in 2017 and in China in 2018. ZiggyAnsah who is from Ghana also has hopes in extending the NFL in Africa. He spoke through the Detroit Lions’ official website where he said that he would love to see one of the NFL games played in Africa. He also stated that Africa has a lot of potential and that one day the NFL would be played on the African soil.

The British colonialism introduced soccer playing to Africa in the 19^th century. It was spread through mission schools, military forces and railways. Football has become very popular with 15 energetic NFL players having links to Africa. Christian Okoye who is known as the Nigerian Nightmare and a former Kansas City Chiefs power runner was the first player to ever represent Africa in the NFL. He became known as an inspiration to many young African athletes in 1980. ZiggyAnsah confessed that there were very many Africans participating in the NFL games. He also said that the game was quickly growing in Africa as there were very many young people interested in learning to play the game.

ZiggyAnsah also stated that the young players coming from Africa were also interested in playing for NFL. There are 15 players who are listed to take part in the NFL and 35 more that are known to have experience in playing for the NFL. They are also believed to be from Africa according to the research carried out by NFL. However, it is unfortunate that the NFL is not yet ready to hold a game in Africa in the near future. Though, ZiggyAnsah’s dreams of the NFL being hosted in Africa might come to pass in the next generation if the interest in the game by Africans continues to increase.

While setting up a new golf course in Rio de Janeiro in time for Olympics was one of the greatest problems, golf is once again facing another obstacle; they are not sure whether players will participate. This does not make any sense because the best three golf players in the world will be participating in August. They are also considered the best players in Rio that is Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, and Rory Mcllory. However, golf has already tainted its image after four major champions announced that they would not be competing for gold, silver or pride.

The first champion to drop out of the golf course game was Adam Scott, although he was the first Australian to win a green jacket and the number seven player in the world, this did not come as a surprise to most people. This is because Adam had all along not being receptive to the Olympics and he had even announced that he did not hold the Olympics too dearly. Louis Oosthuizen who is considered as the sweet- swinging South African and British Open champion at St. Andrews announced that he wasn’t participating in the Olympics too. He said he had some family issues and scheduling problems. He was replaced by Charles Schwartzel who played for South Africa for only one day.

Schwartzel is known as the 2011 Masters champion and also backed out the last minute. All the three players are rated among the top twenty internationally. Vijay Singh also dropped out of the Olympics claiming that the Olympics were scheduled in a bad part of the golf schedule. This means that Fiji will not have a golfer in Rio since it does not have any other players who have topped in the last two years. Golf stayed for over 112 years before joining the Olympic program and so the players who dropped out of the Olympics should be understood. The last gold medalist in golf had been George Lyon.

Golf sport thrusts every the box in the Olympic Values and features, this is mostly because it has a worldwide appeal. It does not put much emphasis on the winning of a medal. It is not even included in the top five sports of this year. However, it was a very big thing when Golf was included in the Olympics again. The golf officials are advertising how much the game will grow since it already has a great audience and the governments of the countries where the sport is not played will fund it. Problems arose and this was blamed on either the format or full participation. Most times when a player cites a tight schedule for failing to participate in competitions the PGA Tour is blamed.

A schedule that suits every player has been published. The question remains whether the golf sport is as important as stated. The U.S Open and the British Open including the World Golf Championship are all played in a five- week stretch. After the Olympics are over the PGA Tour Players are given one week before commencing on the FedEx Cup playoffs. While other sports use most of the Olympic year preparing for the big Olympic event, golf Olympics are placed in the center of big moments. July 11 has been set as the deadline in which players will be required to succeed in the world ranking. This means that Phil Mickelson might probably win the British Open and PGA championship and automatically be disqualified from Rio.

Other players that might participate include Brendon De Jonge from Zimbabwe who will risk losing his PGA Tour cards by participating in the Olympics. The three best golf players in the world will not hinder golf Olympics. However, it will be a different case scenario if Tiger Woods decides to participate in the John Deere Classic in the week of the Olympics.

She is also among the four South African women who have achieved the International Chief of Umpires qualification.

After her nomination, Makhoba couldn’t believe it but openly claimed that it would act as a motivating factor in her routine job of helping the young tennis professionals. She added that she was most humbled by the fact that there are some people who are able to recognize her efforts. From her work, she claims that there are great potentials in kids which can be exploited in the right manner for positive results. This will be crucial in the self drive of these kids in their quest in becoming professionals.

Kagiso Rabada was the man of the match at SuperSport Park after he produced one of his best shows in South African cricket jersey smashing England deep in a black hole. The 20 year old was outstanding and starred throughout the game as South African condemned England in their seven wickets for 49 runs in 13.4 overs. This happened despite England resuming on 52 for three.

However, this loss didn’t forbid the Englishmen in clinching the Basil D’ Oliveira trophy since they had won in 241 run at Kingsmead which was followed by 8-wicket win at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium.

The full potential of Rabada was evident as he recorded figures of 13-144 which made history to be the best to have ever recorded in a total of 21 tests held at SuperSport Park. Among them was his 6-32 in 10.3 overs accrued in the second innings.

England captain Alastair Cook was disappointed by the way his team played in the five days but also found time to congratulate the South Africans for their brave approach of the match. At the same time, Ben Stokes was awarded with the man of the series award after he accrued 411 runs and 12 wickets which brought an average of 29.11.

South Africa has been hit by careless mistakes emanating from lack of concentration in batting that has led to their three test losses to India. This would later be followed by their initial loss to England at the Kingsmead.

The two teams had the following players for the match:

ENGLAND: AN Cook (capt), AD Hales, BA Stokes, CR Woakes, SCJ Broad, JM Anderson, NRD Compton, JE Root, JM Bairstow (wk), MM Ali and JWA Taylor.
