20 miles north of Maputo, the small town of Matendene, where the scenario is more of a desert than the surroundings of a more than 1 million people capital city of Mozambique. Check the location here at

2 great soccer matches to show: Netherlands 0 - Denmark 1 (what a surprise!) and Germany 1 - Portugal 0 (seriously?...)
We arrived at the location around 5:15 PM, an open area with lots of sand, where young athletes play soccer until its dark.
We only have 45 minutes to setup everything, including the difficult task of connectiong to the sattelite Eutelsat W7, and begin broadcasting:
