LUSAKA New England Patriots Jersey , July 2 (Xinhua) -- Zambia's sports minister Chsihimba Kambwili said the poor performance of African teams at the ongoing 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was due to inferiority complex, the Post of Zambia reported on Tuesday.


"When African players go to Europe, they play better than European players themselves; but when they are playing as an African team against a European team, there is inferiority complex and Zambia should learn," he was quoted as saying by the paper.


The Zambian minister said it was unfortunate that some African players become scared even before they play against certain teams.


"I remember when one of the African goalkeepers (at the ongoing World Cup was asked about the game) he just said, 'that was Messi and there is nothing I can do', meaning that he was so scared of Messi even before they played. African football can perform well Daniel Carlson Jersey , but I think the only problem is inferiority complex," he added.


All five African representatives at the tournament have been dumped out. Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana were eliminated in the preliminary rounds while Algeria and Nigeria managed to reach the last 16.

LONDON, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Southwest England's Wiltshire, home to the world's finest preserved original Magna Carta, is under international spotlight as Britain celebrates the 800th anniversary of the Great Charter this year.


In 1215, Magna Carta was signed by England's King John Mike Hughes Jersey , pressured by rebellious barons, to establish the legal principle that nobody, even the king or queen, was above the law.


Magna Carta, literally meaning "Great Charter," was believed to be among the world's earliest constitutional documents to protect people's freedoms and rights, influencing political and legal frameworks in many countries.


There are only four remaining copies of the original Magna Carta Kirk Cousins Jersey , written in Latin on sheepskin, with the best preserved one kept in Salisbury Cathedral in Wiltshire, and the other three in the British Library and Lincoln Cathedral.


Salisbury, a major city in Wiltshire, has proven to be a hub of celebrations this year, partly thanks to the many events related to the commemoration of Magna Carta's 800th anniversary. It has also been ranked by Lonely Planet as the 7th best city in the world to visit in 2015.


Salisbury Cathedral, one of Britain's finest ancient cathedrals Minnesota Vikings Jersey , took much pride in displaying its original Magna Carta in a medieval setting, carefully protected in a specially designed showcase.


The cathedral has also hosted a new interactive exhibition "Magna Carta: Spirit of Justice, Power of Words" in its 13th century Chapter House. It aims to take visitors on a journey of liberty and justice, shedding light on the history and the contemporary relevance of the document.


June Osborne, dean of Salisbury Cathedral, said the anniversary was hugely significant for the cathedral, the city of Salisbury and the county.


"It is an opportunity to publicly celebrate the values of Magna Carta and the liberties it has brought us Jason Sanders Jersey , liberties that we hold dear today and are tempted to take for granted, " she said.


Salisbury staged a massive Magna Carta Pageant last week, which became a city-wide carnival of color, music and dances.


A series of giant "baron" puppets led a delegation from communities across Wiltshire. Hundreds of locals and visitors took part in the parade and thousands piled along the streets to watch the procession.


"Communities from across the county are getting right behind this event, involving schools, young people and local groups, and it really does promise to be an extraordinary pageant and a night to remember Jerome Baker Jersey , " said Jane Scott, leader of Wiltshire Council.


VisitWiltshire, the county's official tourist board, has created a new two-day trail, which features a wide range of Magna Carta related activities and highlights the county's best tourism destinations.


It encourages visitors to explore the various events and attractions listed on its website visitwiltshire.co, including the famous World Heritage Site of Stonehenge, just 8 miles away from Salisbury.


David Andrews Mike Gesicki Jersey , CEO of VisitWiltshire, said: "The Magna Carta 800th anniversary celebrations are a great reason for both domestic and international visitors to make time for Wiltshire and stay longer in the county."


"With a wide variety of activities, events, restaurants, accommodation and places to visit, there is plenty for people to do as part of their own Wiltshire trail," he added.
