Freddy Adu Scores Again
Young Freddy Adu is at it again, showing us why he went pro at such an early age. He scored the winning goal against Panama and helped launch the U.S. team into the group stage of the Olympic Qualifying Tournament. Although the U.S. appeared to be in control for most of the game, they couldn’t quite seem to get the ball into the goal. Freddy came to the rescue in the 42nd minute with a well-placed ball that cinched their position in the group stage of the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

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.

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 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.

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.
