Trophy News from South Africa
Mandela honored today at the Nelson Mandela Foundation event.
FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter today (Tuesday, 16 September) paid tribute to” his friend Madiba” at a private audience at the Nelson Mandela Foundation with a very special gift. To commemorate the historic moment on 15 May 2004 when the former President of South Africa and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Nelson Mandela, emotionally raised the iconic Trophy right after the 2010 FIFA World Cup was awarded to South Africa, Blatter handed over a specifically manufactured replica of the FIFA World Cup. “You are the true architect of this FIFA World Cup; your presence and commitment made it happen. Now the first African FIFA World Cup is a reality and the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009 – the dress re-hearsal – will already take place in less than ten months’ time,” explained Blatter on handing over the trophy to Mandela “I remember that moment back in Zurich. It’s an honour to welcome you here today. It was my desire to meet you and I am happy that we managed it. Thank you for this very special gift,” said Mr. Mandela, who assigned the Trophy a special place in his office. The FIFA President was accompanied by FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke and FIFA Ambassador Tokyo Sexwale.

Trophy news from Hartford, CT
M.S.C. Hermann Trophy winner turns down MLS Superdraft opportunity
O’Brian White has a Facebook – and uses it too. He can tell you how to cook a traditional Jamaican meal and although White admits he’s not faster than Usain Bolt, he is one of Bolt’s biggest fans.
White walks to classes, talks in a soft voice with a Jamaican accent and puts out a firm handshake. To many, he’s the average 23-year old living the average college life.
But in the world of collegiate soccer, he’s known as something a little more than average. He’s the best NCAA Division I soccer player in the country and the title isn’t self-acclaimed.

Soccer blogging from the Web
Significant silverware got lifted again in RFK Stadium, as D.C. United claimed one of the three major U.S. domestic soccer trophies on Sept. 3.

It was the Screaming Eagles’ third appearance in the competition’s final and their second victory there. There still remains the ultimate prize, the MLS Cup, and the most unwanted of trophies, the Supporters Shield, in the 2008 season.

Trophy News from ESPN
Kobe Bryant recently said he would rather win an Olympic gold medal than the NBA championship. Was he merely saying what was politically correct before the Olympics? Did he say it only because it sounds better than “I would rather win an Olympic gold medal than lose the NBA championship”? Or does an Olympic gold medal really mean more to him than a professional championship?
Only Kobe knows for sure but what about you? What sporting trophy means the most to you? Of all the things you could win in sports, which would you choose? A Super Bowl ring? The Masters green jacket? The Heisman Trophy? The Cy Young Award? A World Series? A Final Four? There are dozens upon dozens of championships and awards to win, but which would you most want to claim?
Here are a few quick caveats on my rankings:
The form of the award matters. Trophies top plaques, and the bigger the better. After all, you want the damn thing to look impressive in your trophy case.
Names count, too. Awards named in honor of a person (such as the Cy Young) just resonate more than those that, while prestigious, are named something boring and generic like the “MVP award.”
Durability counts. Generally, the longer the award has been around, the more it means.

Tottenham wins their first trophy in nine years
WEMBLEY, England – Tottenham rallied to beat Chelsea 2-1 Sunday in extra time in the Carling Cup final, giving Spurs their first trophy in nine years.
Now Juande Ramos, who won two straight UEFA Trophy Cup titles at Sevilla, will turn his focus to winning a third trophy in Europe’s No. 2 competition.
“To come in after a few months and win a trophy is an incredible achievement,” Tottenham striker Robbie Keane said. “He’s given us the belief that we can win every game and you can see that in our performances since he took over.”
With Tottenham faltering under Martin Jol, Ramos was lured from Sevilla, where he also won the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup.
“It’s always a tremendous satisfaction to win a trophy,” Ramos said. “This one maybe has a special flavour to it because it was against a team that was superior to us. Perhaps it makes it taste better.

Trophies News from Sao Paulo, Brazil
International Soccer star Kaka won FIFA’s World Player of the Year in December. The trophy will be put on display at his church in Brazil.
The Sao Paulo temple of the evangelical Reborn in Christ Church will be temporarily displaying the trophy.
The Brasilia-born star celebrated the New Year in one of the temples and announced the trophy will be displayed there, on a specially-built stand.
“I don’t win alone. I want to thank God for all the victories and achievements I had this year as a player,” said Kaka.
“I bring here two awards – one is my son who is coming soon. The other is this FIFA trophy. I want to give it to God and place it in this church, in the House of God.”
