Anyone see Sidebe of Mali last night?
The Gillingham striker looked pretty tasty. He scored and had very good footwork and movement.
Mali must be dark horses with Kanoute and Sidebe up front!

The boy looked really GOOD! Mali will certainly be a force to be reckoned with in a few years. They may not repeat their semi-final appearance of two years ago but they'll certainly ruffle some feathers.

In 2000, this is how Senegal burst on to the scene and a lot of people thought it was a fluke. Look at them today.
Come 2006, Mali, Burkina Faso and the Democratic Republic of Congo will be forces to reckon with. I predict that the race for Germany 2006, will be between the following teams:
Mali
Burkina Faso
Democratic Republic of Congo
Ghana
Ivory Coast
Ghana
Cameroon
Senegal
Nigeria
They are the teams producing awesome talent at the moment.

Don't forget Seydou Keita of Lens. He is such a joy to watch. With these kind of players, it is difficult to predict who will win the ANC, as most teams seem to be getting their acts together and producing awesome talents. Mali will definately be a team to watchout for during the ANC.
"History shows that this club has had very few strikers like him. I do not know if there has ever been anyone like him before. What I do know is that Barcelona should erect a statue for him. Samuel was a fundamental player here in recent years and was key to all of the titles that the team won."

Actually, Mali has always had excellent ballers. The problem was that they could not for some reason get their players into Euro teams, awhile their own leagues were poorly maintained. During the 70's and 80's (I know about the 80's for a fact), a great amount of Malian youths went to the former Soviet Union to study. Among them were former club and national squad players. I was honored to have played set with some of these guys who played against Henry Nwosu and co during WAFU tournaments. They had really fond memories of their matches against NNB and other Naija clubs.

..and why not..when our so called first class world cup bound team gets played off the park by a bunch of youngsters cutting their teeth on the continental level, of course the coach needs to be called out..daddyrich wrote:Blah-blah-blah, everyone is shrining Mali and Senegal now but people were calling for Ahmodu's head for his results against them.
I've never seen Pastor West looking harassed and ragged in a game than against Mali..the guy looked like he was ready to pass out no thanks to a porous SE midfield..
Seydou Keita is actually the engine of the malian team.He was t part of the team that humbled our boys in the under 20 competition a few years ago.He pulls the strings from the midfield.
I don't think they are good enough to go beyond the quater finals though.

In all things and every situation, give thanks to God.
I think people like MD dosent see the clear picture in games.In that game Nigeria still created the best chances at the end of the day we tied them.Then in 3rd place match Nigeria beat them 1-0.MD really though Mali was going to win the ANC.Any teams that outplays their opponents and ends up not winning is crap team.Those are the same reason our U-17 never made it past RD1 at the last WYC.If any senseible watched majority of the ANC matches in 2002,Nigeria did very well and lost to a good Senegalese in the Semi-finals.Mali on the other hand have very good players that graduated from Nigeria'99 and are doing very well now.I wont go and over hype them because it normal on this board.In a short while nobody will be talking about Mali just watch and see.

RudeBoy, we drew 0-0 with Mali in the group stage and defeated them in the losers playoff.
mister dolly, yes. Our entire team looked ragged that night. Bagayoko was playing Babayaro like Nintendo while West and Okoronkwo had their work cut out containing Mali's enterprising forward line. Credit to Mali because they employed the pressing game very well and never gave our midfield time to settle on the ball.
