Not updating

African Nations Cup news are limited and I know not many of their players, hence I think I cannot say much...sorry.

Meanwhile, a commercial related to the issue here. Enjoy:

Update on Soccerproject, Freekick

The Freekick season has ended, with my team finishing 12th for senior squad, and 11th for youth squad, though my youth league points were not gotten by my team myself.

Meanwhile Soccerproject's season is 20 matches old, with me languishing in 10th position, one above the relegation zone.

I have 7 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. Not too bad. 27 points from 20 matches. I am on track to pass my target of 40 points.

So that's it for now.

African Nations Cup

Today is the day where the cream of African football gather for this competition, hoping to bring glory to their nation with football.

Africa's biggest asset, or rather, biggest interest, is football. Hence, let me start talking about it.

I believe Ghana is a sure bet to progress to the next round, with a rather easy group, and wowed on by home support.

In Group B, Nigeria and Ivory Coast are the sure favourites, with Mali likely to be third.

Cameroon, with Samuel Eto'o, should progress, while the winners of the previous edition, Egypt, should also progress.

In Group D, which I regard as the group of death, have no clear favourites. However, I shall rely on my instincts, and just predicting, I think it shall be Senegal and South Africa.

That's all for now. Let the contest begin.

Back upon a week.

Hello.

Interestingly, Sam Allardyce had already been sacked before this post. Sad for him, but I won't remember him as manager of Newcastle.

The sense of fraud in the Singapore football fraternity is worrying. Specifically, shame on Liaoning.

This upward trend of sporting corruption has affected sports greatly. The reat thing to note is that even sports like golf, where drugs will not aid the golfer, have started anti-drug campaigns.

Bribing...saddening truth. The human mind is made up of a good and a bad mind. The human himself will control which will preside over the other. Some of them had allowed the bad mind to control them, and this causes major mistakes like match-fixing.

I appeal for a clampdown on these evil mindsets, which will lead to evil intentions, evil actions, and disgrace whatever and whoever is related.

Hopefully, the cliche 'Good will always triumph over the evil' will apply well in sports.

Back in 08

Hello. It's 2008. Around a week has passed since my last post.

Firstly, I would like to comment about the English FA Cup. Amazingly, there are so many shocks in the 3rd round. Championship and League One sides defeating some decent EPL sides.

Most notably, Oldham's win over high-flying Everton and Blackburn's 1-4 loss despite fielding a strong side, to who? I can't even remember.

Credit to these teams who believe. At least the best sides in England prevails, with Chelsea edging past QPR albeit a little undeservingly, and Manchester United beating a strong Aston Villa of the EPL.

I believe Arsenal will win comfortably with some of their first-team players set to play, in order to send a fresh second-team to face Tottenham in the League Cup a few days later.

Oh yeah, it was Coventry who thrashed Blackburn. Notably, they were the team that knocked Manchester United out of the League Cup.

And back to the issue, it seems as though Arsenal's Championship opponents are better than Tottenham. If Arsenal win both matches, it would be extremely sweet. Against their bitter London rivals.

So, all the best for Arsenal. And hoping things get much much better for Thierry Henry at Barcelona.
