Rogermilla, why should you believe Puma over FIFA. Like I pointed out in a similar thread that Puma went public that they would absorb any FIFA fine. That was careless and reckless and that is why there is an additional punishment of a 6 points deduction. Puma put Cameroon in this problem through th...

The 1994 brand of SE with Finidi, Ammunike, Yekini, Amokachi was said to have one of the fastest attack in world football. The strength of the team was based on their fast counter attacks which caught opponents napping. Arsenal are also believed to play a similar brand of fast counter attacking foot...

I happened to stay at the Nicon hotel in Abuja when the SE played Brazil last August. I witnessed a close bond between the players, i.e. Uttaka, Udeze, Yak, Ekong, Nworgu, Ekwueme, Enakhahire, Ejide etc, who were lodged in the same hotel. They were everywhere together and even travelled together to ...

I think CCC is sending a message to Ogunjobi, who is anti-Oliseh that since he has the presidential backing, Ogunjobi can no longer interfere in his team selection. In essence, the man is announcing his independence from Ogunjobi. I do not think he will actually invite Oliseh to camp.
