The biggest questions are as follows: IF CCC is so bad, why has the SE results not indicated a significant downslide compared to results under FCs? If infact the FCs were better, why did their results no show it (excepting Westerhoff)? Was it that the players were not committed under FCs? IMO, resol...

Forget all these issue about this being an under-age competition. Believe it or not, under-20 plays are as tactical as the full national teams. That not withstanding, this guy has shown a quality which is very rare to see in our ICs. Hard work. Out of the much castigated and maligned local league, ...

Man, these salaries are not surprising. You have to ask yourself how much money is brought in by MLS? If you expect MLS to pay like they do in Europe, then you are missing something. This is the way for MLS to survive at this time i.e a few high-priced stars and then the rest. Another move is receiv...

As I read in one of the national dailies, Rigogo was dropped on the eve of the team's departure to Mexico. He was replaced by an unknown Yakubu Bauchi who conceeded 9 goals ...

I am not sure M15 realizes than Siasia is INDEED an LC. If he does then it is good that he has not finally realized what he has been told for such a long time -- it is not about LC v FC but all about a Good v Bad coach.

If he does he is let back in after the 2-3 weeks period. If not, he is kept out until he does. However, we ...
