Re: World Cup musings (Iran/USA)

I agree they should strip them off the hosting rights, but something tells me FIFA are in the US pocket as corrupt as they are, they wont do nothing...its up to the participating countries to make their voices heard and do the right thing

Re: ENG 1 - SEN 3 (2H)

How did I miss this, this is impressive from Senegal
I always knew it would be a team like Senegal or Mali or Zambia that will do it
Not only did Senegal do it, it was convincing and in England too

Those of us who have tried and failed salute you , Senegal

Re: Emmanuel Kunde who broke C.E hearts no more!

Kunde, what a player

A cool headed penalty taker, I loved the angle of his penalty against England in 1990
