Can it be on another sport or will it have to be Rugby?

Anything to do with South Africa, Portugal, rugby, or a World Cup, I'd say.

South Africa hosted the 2010 FIFA football world cup. They managed to win 1 group stage game.

This is a very good question. I was into my football in 2010 and watched all the matches, but I can't remember who they beat. I'll need to sleep on it.

What I remember most is the Jabulani ball! My team bought an official one and played with it in practice. It was like playing with the old plastic windblower, ridiculous!

the official ball of the 2010 fifa world cup, the adidas jabulani, has a name meaning 'be happy!' in which african language?

Re: Never Ending General Knowledge

all good guesses but.

not sotho, national language of lesotho and one of eleven official languages of south africa.

not afrikaans, which evolved from dutch and is also one of eleven official languages in south africa.

not fante, a dialect of akan spoken primarily in ghana.
