Kenya’s Harlequins See Mwamba Snatch Victory at Death
So close yet so far is what the result could have been termed after last weekends heart-wrenching loss to Mwamba. The game in itself a classic only marred by low quality refereeing yet again. The game began at cracking pace with both sides sizing each other. Quins were the first to score and, at the breather, were 7-0 ahead. » Read more…
The 5 Most Effective African Soccer Players in Europe
African players have been making an impact in the Barclay Premiere League and are so important that David Moyes, Everton’s manager, has suggested closing down the league in respect of the African Cup of Nations. It is obvious that the impact of the missing African players is huge. Here are the 5 whose presence is probably felt the most (in no particular order).
1. Michael Essien | Ghana| Chelsea | Midfielder » Read more…
Sulley Muntari – Portsmouth FC’s Midfielder
Sulley Muntari has a powerful kick that is already making an impact in the African Cup of Nations 2008. He was part of the team that played in the finals against Argentina in the 2001 World Youth Cup. He signed up with an Italy team, Udinese, and played for them for a while, helping them get to several championship matches. In 2006 he played for Ghana in the World Cup with fellow countryman Micheal Essien, a game that made the Ghanian team a team to be remembered as they fought hard against the German team. He has already made his mark with Portsmouth, and is a strong fan favorite. He is also the first choice for penalty kicks that he seems to be able to complete quite effectively. » Read more…
Egypt Fights For It’s Right to Keep The Cup
In a splendid match between Cameroon and Egypt, Egypt finally won with a goal in the 77th minute. Egypt showed remarkable control throughout the game, reminding people why they were considered the best in the league. Egyptians celebrated their win with jubilant dancing in the streets, and honking of horns. Cameroon played it’s best but was no real match for the Egyptians who have shown remarkable discipline and great team play in all their games. As an aside, Egypt is the only team that has an African coach. Maybe the other teams may have better luck if they follow suit. » Read more…

Egypt to meet Cameroon in Finals
In what was another spectacular game, Egypt beat Ivory Coast 4-1. The Egyptian Pharaohs knelt prostrate in thanks after scoring and showed why they are still the team to be watched in the games.

Ahmed Faki scored the second one in the second half. The Ivoriens responded with a great 25-yard strike by Amr Zaki but it was not enough. » Read more…
The Lions Roar and Ghana Falls
Cameroon has shown an indomitable spirit as it fights to win the African Cup of Nations championship.

Cameroon’s Lions Roar into the Semi-Finals
Tunisia was determined to win the game and go into the semi-finals against Ghana, but Cameroon dashed those hopes. Tunisia shut down Eto’o at every opportunity and made Cameroon play almost 120 minutes before they could score their winning goal. It was a great match with both sides playing so hard that there were a number of fouls called against each team. Cameroon will now face Ghana in a match that we hope will be as hard fought as this one. » Read more…
