The French national team MUST have more white decedents of France than kids from foreign parents. I always felt bad for France in that regard. This is only my opinion. If the Nigerian national team all of a sudden is 80% Chinese then something is wrong. Football in France is like basket ball in the...

Afterward, Desailly accused Stoichkov of making racist comments, first in Spanish, and then in Italian, the language of their home clubs. The two refused to shake hands after the match.

"In the first 20 minutes, he made comments about me and other African players," said Desailly, the A.C. Milan defender who was born in Ghana. "I do not think he is such a good player anymore. I do not get anything out of my battle with him. I did not appreciate the racist comments, which is not suitable for a player like him.

"It is normal," said Stoichkov, 30, who plays for Parma. "It happens all over the pitch. If you took a microphone around the pitch for every player, they'd all be saying things like that."

getting to the 1/4s of the world cup and getting knocked out on penalties is a far greater achievement than winning the ANC 3 times in a row... sorry!!! no it is not, even getting to the final of a world cup and losing cannot be a better achievement than winning the ANC talkless of 3 straight. I do...

Germany again showed what I've been arguing. OUR FEAR is the greatest weapon ''big teams'' like Brazil and Argentina have against African teams. If we went out and played them without fear, the way teams like Germany and Holland did - not these silly ''defensive games'' we come up with, we would TH...

I think this Ghana team is a good,but calling them the greatest African team is a bit far fetched.They have beaten Serbia and USA during this tournament which i would hardly call the world elites,they played good against Germany but lost,they are probably the most disciplined African side time ever...

Nigeria president suspends team Nigeria's president has suspended his nation's football team from international competition for two years after a poor showing at the World Cup. Special presidential adviser Ima Niboro told reporters the decision by Goodluck Jonathan will "enable Nigeria to reor...

Rooney is a world class player who was not at his best in this world cup. Messi is not the same Messi we see in Barcelona every week, yet nobody would say that he is not a world class player. Zidane became a world class player when he scored 2 goals in the final of the world cup 1998. Before that, m...

Their goalkeeper Kingson was also very good today. Their number 6 Anthony Annan, and of course Kevin Prince Boateng and Andre Ayew are their best players. I loved the goal Gyan scored...

btw Ayew will not play the next game, Kevin Prince Boateng may be injured

The Portuguese team that played against CIV was definitely not the 3rd team in the world! CIV could easily have beaten them...

This is how u play a tournament. You pick your fights and decide what games to win and what games to draw. The stupid CIV have played themselves out of the world cup. Stupid, ignorant and NAIVE! watch Portugal play Brazil and try to get a draw or at least a 1 goal loss.... simeple as that! thats ho...

So FIRST STOP the blatant self-discrimination which SCREAMS TO PLAYER AND COUNTRY ALIKE, ''we are LESS than others'', and invokes a debilitating mentality that doubtless permeates the players' mindsets even on the pitch against international opposition. One of our problems is that we are not confid...

1990 WAS A FLUKE.... Period. How did this 1990 team do at the CAN the same year and the following CAN competition? Don't bring me the Cameroonian argument that we never play well in CAN years ... that's crap. Everyone can be lucky. If you can't come close to repeating it the next time around, then ...

What was Amodu's salary when he was the coach of the super eagles ?

Guys I am sorry, but in my opinion, we had the best african teams in this world cup (of course, Egypt should have been there, but they lost to Algeria). Changing the WCQ will not make the african teams stronger...

That story is false. Domenech said that some players might be emotionally tired after what happened yesterday. It is also said that before the game vs Mexico, Zidane tried to change the line up. He wanted Henry to play with Anelka, as well as Valbuena. So he told 4 players (ribery, abidal, gallas, e...

According to the french Daily "L'Equipe" there was a clash between Domenech and Anelka at half time during the game vs Mexico. Domenech told Anelka to change the way he played, Anelka answered : "#$% off, you dirty son of a *Nice Lady*". Then Domenech called in Pierre Andre Gigna...

Nonsense, if he is a true leader he should play, an elbow doesnt affect your ability to play football . CIV needs him now more than ever before.

According to the first link (in french from Lequipe.fr), Drogba himself said that he wouldn't be able to play

Après examens, le joueur nous a confirmé qu'il ne pourrait pas disputer la Coupe du monde
