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...

Egypt Benin Rep 3-1 Nigeria Morocco 2-0 Nigeria is a better team than Morocco and will be physically superior. However, I believe that Morocco is very speedy on the counter and they will likely lay back and hope to catch Nigeria on the counter. Their most notable player is #14 (Nabil El Zahr) who is...

Re: Was Innua Rigogo dropped Olympic squad because of Biafra

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 ...

First, Benin Republic must do all it takes to bring the culprits to book and then step up security for the team. CAF must get thi...

My immediate reaction is that since it is not his first offense he should be kept in the cooler for an appreciable length of time -- say 2-3 weeks and have him appeal for permission to rejoin. 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 ...
