What are the nicknames of the 32 teams participating in the FIFA World Cup 2010?
There are 32 nations competing in the FIFA World Cup 2010. However, they do not all have nicknames. (And some of the nicknames, often given to them by opposing teams, are inflammatory as well as derogatory.) One nickname of the U.S. team is the "Yankees" or the "Yanks". England's team is sometimes called the "Brits".The Portuguese are "the Navigators". The nickname was borrowed from the "real" Portuguese navigators (XV-XVI centuries) who crossed the oceans around the globe, and the dangerous "Cape Bojador" (not far from Capetown, so, not far from the Cup).A full list taken from Associated Content (www.associatedcontent.com/article/5478524/world_cup_team_names_every_countrys_pg2.html?cat=14) can be found below.Algeria - The Desert FoxesArgentina - La Albiceleste (the White and Sky Blue, the national colors)Australia - The Socceroos (A fantastic combination of kangaroos, soccer, and Aussie sensibility)Brazil - A Selecao (the Selection); The Samba Kings; Verde-Amarela (Green and Yellow); Canarinho (Little Canary); Scratch du Oro (the Golden Squad)Cameroon - Les Lions Indomables (The Indomitable Lions)Chile - La Roja (The Red One); El Equipo de Todos (Everbody's Team)... how did Chile with zero World Cup championships get two nicknames?Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) - Les Elephants (This translation is a shocker... the Elephants, and it's an appropriate enough name for a country with Ivory in its name)Denmark - The Danish Dynamite; Olsen-Banden (The Olsen Gang); Olsens Elleve (Olsen's Eleven)... the multiple nicknames here stem from unabashed love for longtime coach Morten Olsen.England - The Three LionsFrance- Les Bleus (The Bleu Cheeses, er, I mean... the Blues); L'Equipe Tricolore (The Tri-color Team, apparently disregarding the many other countries with three colors in their flag)Germany - Die Manschaft (the Team, a very creative name for a very creative people)Ghana- The Black StarsGreece - Galanoleyki (The blue and white, representing the colors); the Phalanx (after the old, unbreakable troop formation); Ethniki (the National Team)... here multiple nicknames stem from a general disagreement about what to call the team, and a limited record of international successHonduras - Los Catrachos (the Hondurans... appropriately enough); La Bicolor (The Double Colored, for the country's colors)Italy - The Azzurri (The Blue... yes, international soccer teams love the color blue)Japan - The Samurai Blue (international soccer's love of blue, combined with Japanese tradition)Korea DPR (North Korea) - The Chollima (The Thousand-Mile Horse, a mythical winged horse)Korea Republic (South Korea) -Taegeuk Jeonsa (The Taegeuk Warriors, Taegeuk being similar to the concept of yin and yang, the symbol of which is found on their flag)Mexico - El Tri (The Three, for the colors of the flag...

What are popular hobbies in Honduras?
Arrival of football in HondurasThere are many theories on how football started practice in Honduras. In the Atlantic Cost, caused by the increasing exportation of bananas in the cities of La Ceiba and Tela in that time they were the most important ports of the country. Julio Luis Ustariz, a son of French immigrants wrote some memories that some merchants gave him a soccer ball in 1896 as a gift in Puerto Cortes. Since then soccer had been in practice in Honduras.But until 1906 an official document by the republic's government hired a Guatemalan professor named Miguel Saravia to teach soccer at the Escuela Normal de Varones in Tegucigalpa. In 1909, three years after the arrival of the professor Saravia; the Spanish monk Niglia made soccer appear at the Instituto Salesiano San Miguel in Comayagua.Football became popular, especially in higher classes, although it couldn't compete against baseball which at the time was the most popular sport until 1917. The team known as Juventud Olimpica founded in 1912 became Club Deportivo Olimpia.Like Olimpia other clubs were founded in Tegucigalpa, like the teams Lituania, Signos, Trebol, Honduras, Atletico Deportes, La Nueva Era, Colon and Spring, all of which don't exist now.It was until 1925 which football became to gain strength in the second most important city, San Pedro Sula with the foundation of Club Deportivo Marathón. For some historians of that era, before Marathon (was named after a rugby ball) there was a club named Club Patria but with very small amount of duracion, the president of the Republic, Dr. Miguel Paz Barahona named the sporting fields Patria Marathon.The year 1926 a team surged which was were a lot of good players and for many, the real birth of what is now today Olimpia, Argentina and Espana (known as los Tejeros) which had a training camp at Barrio Guanacaste, Tegucigalpa.In the year 1928 Club Deportivo Motagua was born, the name was given since at the time the river Motagua was being in dispute between Guatemala and Honduras. The enthusiastic Dr. Marco Antonio Ponce and the writer and poet Marco Antonio Rosa decided name "Motagua" for the disappearance of "America Aguila" and "Honduras Atletica"In San Pedro Sula, a year later 1929 España (known since 1977 as Real Club Deportivo España) was founded.History of the leagueIn the 1930s, soccer experienced a surge in popularity in the country. In 1948 with the birth of the Francisco Morazán Major Football League, the idea to organize football began to take shape. Olimpia, Federal, Motagua, Argentina and Real España are the pioneers of the Liga Mayor. In 1948 the first championship began in the recently inaugurated Estadio Tiburcio Carias Andino as Victoria were made champions by beating Motagua; and three years later, in 1951, they repeated the trick. Due to the high support the League received at this time, the Confederacy Sports School Extra of Honduras {F.N.D.E.H.} was founded.The cancellation of the court of the Stadium "Municipal" of San Pedro Sula was the catalyst that caused the sport's leaders of the northern and central parts of Honduras to join forces and caused the disappearance of the F.N.D.E.H.On March 8, 1951, Juan Manuel Galvez gave life to the F.N.D.E.H. when he signed the presidential decree I number 97 and he vouched for the execution of the first Sports Congress that was carried out in the installations of the abandoned "National Gymnasium Rubén Alleys Valentine".A decade after the creation of the F.N.D.E.H. and under the leadership of Hémerito F. Hernández, and also under Féderico Bunker Aguilar who had pioneered CONCACAF's creation at the same time, the idea to create the First National League of Soccer took shape between 1962 and 1963. Thanks in part to the aid of executives such as Alejandro Talbott that had studied in Mexico, the structure of that country's league was copied. On Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 April, 1964 the 15th National Congress created the league. The 15th National Congress also started the National League Not Fan of Honduras, LINAFUTH, that was founded May 10, that year.The president of the Sports Confederacy was Oscar Kafati and the secretary was journalist Andrés Towers Son. Severa teams sent delegates. These included Olimpia, Troya, España, Honduras de El Progreso, Vida, Marathón, Motagua, La Salle, and Atlético Español Glidden. Those delegates were chosen to be to the first Provisional Board of Directors that remained headed by: President Oscar Lara Mejía, Secretary: José T. Castañeda, Treasurer: Jesus J. Handal, Fiscal: Humberto Soriano Aguilar and vocal: Oscar Kirckonell, Alfredo Bueso, René Bendeck.The first date of the new National League was July 18, 1965, with the following results: Olimpia 3:0 Marathón; España 1:0 Troya; Honduras 3:0 Atlético Español; Vida 4:1 Motagua; and Platense 6:2 La Salle. Pedro Deras of El Progreso de Honduras was the first scorer of the National League in the 5th minute against Atlético Español. Platense was the first professional champion of Honduras winning the three rounds; and Atlético Español finished last, but there was no relegation.The actual teams of the first division are (alphabetically): Deportes Savio, Hispano, Marathón, Motagua, Olimpia, Platense, Real España, Real Juventud, Victoria, and Vida.An interesting fact is that Real España is the only non-Spanish club that has been condecorated by the Spanish royalty (which is the origin of the "Real" part in Real España). That means that Real España is just as royal or "Real" than Real Madrid, Real Valladolid, Real Mallorca, and others. Nevertheless, Real Juventud included that part in the team's name without receiving any condecoration.
