Comments(2)Guinea’s World Cup qualifying campaign mercifully comes to an end this Saturday as they travel to Côte d’Ivoire to face World Cup finalists out of the group and a side that has had Guinea’s number over the last few years. For Guinea their dreams of a spot in the 2010 Nations Cup are on the line. They must emerge with at least a point if they are to travel to Angola. Even a point may not be enough as their fate is ultimately in the hands of Malawi and Burkina Faso. Should Malawi win away against the Burkinabe then Malawi qualify. If Malawi draw then Guinea need to win. If Malawi lose then a Guinea win or draw will send them to Angola.

The Battle for Angola Part 1
Comments(2)South Africa is now all but out of the picture. That leaves one thing for the Syli Nationale to play for, the 2010 African Cup of Nations in Angola. Their rivals in this battle will be the Flames of Malawi. The next two matches will likely determine who progresses to Angola and who falls into the abyss ... [read more]
Nouzaret Out, Camara In
Comments(2)Robert Nouzaret resigned following Guinea’s 2-1 defeat to Côte d’Ivoire at home in Conakry. A predictable decision by Nouzaret considering he would have been sacked anyway. Replacing Nouzaret will be Guinean legend Titi Camara, former Liverpool player. Camara will likely have the respect of his new charges and can hopefully ensure that Guinea play the final four ...

Côte d’Ivoire Extinguish Guinea’s Dreams of a World Cup
Comments(0)As expected the Syli Nationale failed to defeat Côte d’Ivoire at home, falling 2-1. At first sight not an awful scoreline considering what happened back in Ghana a year and a half ago. But Guinea’s lone goal from Sambegou Bangoura was a result of comical goal keeping. (more…)

Pippo Scores, Tiziano Crudeli Weeps
This is, incredibly, not too far off the norm for Tiziano Crudeli, journalist, commentator and Milan fan extraodinaire. He's a touch passionate about the Rossoneri and as one would expect, more than a touch passionate for icon Pippo Inzaghi's last game for the club on the weekend. Standard fare... And then ...

Enjoy Landycakes enjoying some First Bottom. In a room of armed men hell bent on protecting the object of his lurid fantasies at all costs. Or maybe they're there hunting down that dude straight out of the WWII flick on the left, looking like he's about to pillage something. (No comment.) And ...

Torching Burnt Bridges With Samir Nasri
Cripes, Manchester City's all over the place these days. One supposes with that ending they're allowed to be. Also: money's compelling. Don't ever think otherwise.

Carlos Tevez v Fergie: The Title Celebration
At current pace, the Manchester Derby could settle right below Clasico levels in a few years time. The spending and success on the blue side of town will only breed animosity, while history still remains firmly in the red half of town. Plus Carlos Tevez will be involved* and nothing fans ...

Felipe Melo Finds His Fire Hydrant
For no apparent reason, the canine urination celebration is taking hold of Europe. Or it's happened twice off the top of my head, which is far too many and certainly deserving of pandemic status. The first was Zenit's Danny, merely celebrating a goal. Now Felipe Melo was so excited by ...

The Stop-Motion England Introduction
This is both wonderful and a wonderful departure from the standard footballing related videos you'll find on the YouTube.
