Re: Introduce yourself here

I am Harold Joseph....aka known as Jokstein. A native of Botswana and live in Gaborone, Botswana...the Diamond of Africa. I'm 42 years and a fervent fan of football, always have been.........
My first love is the Mighty Zebras, Botswana's Men's National Team. My heart belongs to the beautiful Zebras.I am crazy about the Zebra's teams starting from the Under-17, thru the Under-20, the Olympic squad and the senior team.Follow with a passion..
I am a Real Madrid fan, have been for well over two decades.I watch La Liga most times when their games are shown. I never miss a Real game if shown. Rather a delayed version or highlights than nothing. I also follow international football and watch every major league footie game that gets coverage this part of the world when time allows.
I love Brazilian football, African and South American football in general. I follow and watch Brasileiro games and never miss highlight packages of the Argentine league.
EPL games receive substantial coverage here to the point of saturation and I make it a point to watch all matches involving the top four or five teams. I watch Tottenham Hotspurs more than any other EPL team. Have a soft spot for the club since my teens(late 70's)...courtesy of one of my elder cousins, Chris who is a fan...he is four years my senior.His father and educationist went for a short-tem study in Scotland and always bought him Eglish soccer mags..In the 80s(late 80s) I started being a regular reader of World Soccer, Shoot and one other publication that rivals Shoot.
Since my country has never featured in a major tournament I always root for Brasil at the World Cup. No not because I'm a bandwaggoner or somesuch...started following them and Real Madrid during their lean years...Never miss Copa America or any other game involving the Selecao if shown.
I am an Economist(Financial)cum Accountant and in gainful employment here at home. As I live next door to South Africa,I will be looking forward to welcoming any of you who might make it to WC 2010!
