Didier Drogba and the Ivory Coast Men's National Soccer Team

Didier Drogba was a smash hit at the African Nations cup which was produced by CAF (Confederation of African Football) and hosted in Egypt. The final with Ivory Coast took place on February 10 2006 and was won by the host country Egypt 4-2 on penalty shoot-out.

Didier Drogba had the most impact of any other national player of any other of the participaying teams during the course of the intra African match-ups. He is essentially a centeral force on any of the teams he has played on.. This also includes chelsea of the english premier league of which he is also a striker.

For team mate, Toure, Drogba presents a potentially decisive edge in the first competitive meeting between Ivory Coast and Nigeria since the 1994 Nations cup semi-final won by the Nigerians on penalties.

"Drogba is a really great player and he is something special. We are really proud of what hehas a done for the team". "It's going to be a very hard game. But now we are in the semi-finals, anything can happen. We've got our chance," said defender Toure.

Seconds into the second half, the whole difference was made when Drogba netted his fourth goal of the tournament and the Elephants could afford to sit back for most of the second half. The goal stung the Nigerian bench who immediately replaced Mikel Obi with Jay Jay Okocha and Kanu Nwankwo with Julius Aghahowa, but still the Nigerians could not turn the game round. This is the first time the Ivorians, who have qualified for the World cup, will have played in the final since winning the title in 1992 in Senegal.

The Egyptians must thank goalkeeper Essam EL Hadary for saving two penalties as Ivory Coasts Didier Drogba missed a crucial first spot kick for the Elephants.

Xbox 360 Problems? Read This Before Taking Action

If you are having xbox 360 problems and try to research the problem online, you are likely to be bombarded with information regarding how to fix your xbox. So, what exactly can go wrong with your xbox 360? I did some research, and here is what I found.

The most common problem that I found was xbox 360 overheating. overheating is the main cause of the game you are playing freezing up. It is suggested that to avoid overheating, you do the following:

• Place the power supply in a well ventilated area. That means keep it off of the floor, out of a cabinet, etc. These PSU's tend to get out, so it is best to keep it from getting too hot.
• DO NOT plug your xbox 360 power supply into a cheap power strip. They like good, clean power. It is best to use either a wall outlet, or a high quality surge protector.
• Make sure the xbox 360 itself is well ventilated. We want this unit to be exposed to as much air as possible, so, like the power supply, make sure it is not inside a cabinet. You might also want to try keeping it far enough away from the back of your TV, or other sources of heat.

The second most common problem is related to the GPU (General Processing Unit), which is basically the CPU. I found that as the xbox 360 heats up, the soldering can become loose and separate from the motherboard. This is actually a well known problem on older units. Once this happens, you will be greeted by the infamous 3 red light error (The Red Ring of Death!)

If you are ever faced with the xbox 360 3 red light error, you should call microsoft and check to see if it is still covered under warranty. Because they admitted there was a fault with a system, they extended coverage for 3 years for units displaying the 3 red light error. Be aware that if you ship your system to microsoft, you could wait as long as 2 months to get it back.

Cooling System Got Bubbles?

Most modern cars have cooling systems installed in it. However, you should first know that despite the very fact that all cooling systems function the same way, there are two kinds of cooling systems that could be found in most vehicles. These are the liquid cooling system and the air cooling system.

The liquid cooling system can be found on most modern cars. A specific fluid is used to circulate throughout the pipes and other passages in the engine of your car. This liquid, or the coolant, absorbs heat in the engine, thus cooling it down. As per the air cooling system, this type is found on most older cars. Instead of the fluid used in the liquid cooling system, air is what is circulated around the engine. The air comes from a powerful fan which functions as the force that pushes the air through the engine.

If you do own a liquid cooling system, you should know that air and air bubbles could be found in the liquid that cools your engine. This may not be a big deal to you but remember that if this is the case, your engine could actually overheat. That is why it is important to remove any air in your coolant reservoir.

You just add to the radiator a mixture composed of half water and half antifreeze. Make sure you fill it right up until the top portion. Then, do the same to the overflow or coolant reservoir.

After doing such, just leave the cap of your radiator off and let the engine run. You would know that the radiator has already removed the bubbles because there would be a large air bubble come to the top or you would see the coolant go down. When this has been successful, refill the radiator with the right amount of coolant. And you can turn the cap of the radiator back on.
