Amaglug-glug is the nickname of South Africa's national under-23 soccer team. Where does it come from? Well, the prefix "ama" is the plural form in isiZulu. "Glug-glug" derives from the fact that petrochemicals company Sasol sponsors the team, and that South African soccer fans have a keen sense of humour and a quirky way with words: Sasol ran a series of television adverts featuring a little boy playing with his toy car � when he fills it up at his toy petrol pump, he goes � "Glug-glug-glug", of course.
