QuoteMight do?
Not going to the world cup anyway
Flagging this up early, and a bit of a crazy suggestion.
I now already that due to work issues I won't be able to make it to the WC in 2010 so tempted by a trip to the ACN.
With the chances of Ireland making it still good, most of my regular travel partners are committed to that. However I am investigating the possibility of heading to Angola for a week or two to watch the ANC in Jan/Feb 2010.
Anyone else making the trip or interested in investigating the possibility of a trip?

Love watching this tournament, but wouldn't fancy Angola. Bit on the dangerous side no?

Absolutely dreadful civil war for ages in Angola alright. Was reading up a bit on it recently for some reason. Things are relatively stable on a political level now though and they've a good bit of oil and gold and minerals so there is some hope. Although the country is ravaged with landmines. That's about all I remember because to complete my research on Angola I said I'd better see what the women are like. The politics became less important when I saw who won Miss Angola recently.

As a gesutre to fair play and the integrity of the sport Ireland should be offered a place in this compettion.
That's true Ireland will be represented there.
