The Zambian newspaper quoted him as saying at the unveiling of the 2010 World Cup emblem at the Tempodrom that one of his dreams during his illustrious playing career is to see an African country host the coveted tournament.

Milla, who is one of the 2010 World Cup ambassadors, expressed confidence the competition will be dominated by the warm African spirit.

"This is one of my dreams in my football life. Now it is here and immediately after the 2006 World Cup, we will work for Africa ad South Africa because it is an honor to be part of the process,"he said.
