What a Spectacle!

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Since the first blast of the whistle, South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup’s been a wonderful sight to behold. From the colourful South African supporters to the unceasing sound (more aptly noise) of the Vuvuzela to the breathtaking displays and goals scored; it’s been quite rewarding partaking of it all. Nevertheless and without sounding sore [...]

National Pride!

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Having failed in my last two estimations of the Super Eagles, I found it very hard to even give a title to this piece. With the hope of qualifying for the second round hanging on a thread, we are back on a familiar turf of looking up to others to do us a favour. How [...]

Greece Versus Nigeria: A Must Win!

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

The Super Eagles still have every chance to progress to the second round of the World Cup; all they need do is win their remaining matches. While this won’t be a picnic on the beach, it certainly is not unachievable if we put our acts together and focus absolutely on the task. The mountains to [...]

Nigeria VS Argentina

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Not a few football analysts have written off the chances of the Super Eagles in this year’s World Cup. A preview of the group on Skysports online was so dismissive of the team that it borders on impudence from the reviewer. Many fans of the team in Nigeria and elsewhere have given up hope bearing [...]

The Super Eagles!

Friday, June 4th, 2010

I had to wait patiently for Coach Lars Lagerback to name his team to South Africa before making any comments. If I have disappointed you with my unusual inconsistency on this blog, I sincerely apologize particularly for my lack of coverage of our Super Eagles towards this World Cup. One of the most significant events [...]

The Big One is Here

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

As I watch the build up to the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa on DSTV daily, I couldn’t help but feel the overriding excitement of the host country and its people. The colours of the Rainbow Nation, the noise of the Vuvuzela, the outstanding levels of preparation and facilities, beautiful hotels and resorts [...]

The Difference is Clear

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

It would seriously be called into questioning anytime Arsene Wenger and by implication Arsenal lay claims to being the masters of entertaining and awe inspiring football. Last Wednesdays match against Barcelona showed clearly that the Catalans are indeed the king of exciting and out of this world football. Looking at the statistics at the end [...]

The Stubborn Wenger!

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I have never seen anyone as stubborn and myopic as Arsenal’s Wenger in world football. The man just believes that there’s no other way except his and that come rain or shine, he would eventually be proven right. However, the current reality on ground is not the situation. Tonight as they play against FC Porto [...]

ACN Like No Other!

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Â
Angola 2010 took off to a most astonishing start as Mali came back from four goals down to take a point from the hosts. It would go down as one of the most memorable opening matches of any football tournament in the world. Reminiscent of the Golden Eaglets feat against their German opponents in the [...]
