Official Soccer World Cup Anthem

R. Kelly's spiritually inspired World Cup anthem goes down smoothly with a little help from the Soweto Gospel Choir. "I can feel the spirit of the nation/ and I can feel my wings riding the wind…that's the sign of a victory," he sings. Kelly and the choir will perform "Sign of Victory" at the June 11 opening ceremony.

World Cup South Africa 2010 Commercial

Diski Dance


The word ''diski'' is slang for soccer in South Africa, but is also used to describe the local style of football, which is known for its fluid movements and emphasis on dribbling and other tricks.

There are no words to go with the dance, but it can be punctuated with the occasional call of ''Laduma'', a victory cry at South African soccer matches, which means ''he thunders'' in Zulu
