Re: 2022 FIFA CAF WC qualification draw –Live on Saturday 1/22/22

1. Liverpool team mates Mane vs Salah. One of them is not going to Qatar. 2. Algeria complained of the heat and the poor pitch in Douala, but have the 2nd leg at home. Toss-Up 3.

Re: The Greatest African player of all time is...

Best is slightly more debatable than greatest. Here is my list of GOAT not BOAT.

1. Milla, 2. Weah, 3. Eto, 4. Abedi, 5. Kanu, 6. Drogba, 7. Hassan, 8. Yaya, 9. Okocha, 10. Madger. Honorable mentions - Nkono, Gyan, Salah, Bwalya.

Re: CHELSEA 2018/2019 SEASON

Maybe a bit far fetched, he's been a forward & a wing back. Maybe he'll be the 3rd midfielder with Kante & jorginho.

Re: Which African team has the easiest and the hardest group

It's so interesting how these groupings follow same patterns. Japan & Colombia, Germany & Mexico, Nigeria & Argentina, Morocco back with Portugal, Uruguay in hosts group just like 2002 & 2010.
