Africa, the country

One of our Observer who blogs for "Africa is a country" spotted this sports shirt on sale at Decathlon in the UK.

While everybody back home in South Africa today celebrated Vuvuzela Day, the rest of us had to find something else with which to show our support for our local team - like a T-shirt, for example. So thankfully the UK sports chain Decathlon had shirts on sale for those football supporters who really believe that, like other countries such as Brazil, France, England and Italy whose shirts you can buy here, you really should also be able to show your support for that other biggish country down south. Go Africa!"
