Registration D-Day is tomorrow. I can give you some numbers to get yourself registered. As I said I am likely turning out for the South Africans. One cannot pay money and sit on the bench as will be the case with Nigeria, so my hard earned monies must be put to use.

Nice spirit. Peace and love.

Ehem do you accept jeun jeun players?

The day is over. My South African side lost to the LAPD on penalties.

The Nigerian team has been red hot. They defeated the Kenyans 5-0 and another team 6-0 before tying LAPD 0-0 ... they then defeated the Cameroonians on penalties.

The Nigeria - Cameroon game was one to see!!! They had good players like Dida, Tochukwu, Benoit (the Cameroonian who plays for Nigeria) and Kelly Amunike and a few others ... Cameroon was valiant, but at the end of the day Nigeria won.

The DJs were from Ghana and were spinning some good stuff.
