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…)

For Love Or Football
"Footballer asked to give up honeymoon for new club." Admit it - first thoughts center around the wife and a reaction worthy of any reality shows in which a new bride or bride-to-be seem like a good candidate for a rubber room and a key which gets mysteriously lost for...ever. Tim Ream ...

Bayern Munich Signs The Common Man
High up on the list of things no to do with football fans is to promise the unveiling of a big new signing and then fail to follow through. Worse is to promise a big signing and then come through with someone who won't even find the end of the ...

Jose Being Jose, In A Parking Lot
That's Jose after last night's Clasico, hanging out in the Camp Nou parking lot next to the referee's car. He's not waiting to tell him how much he enjoyed his performance or beg him for the maker of his cologne, I can tell you that much. Google Translate can do ...

Cristiano Throws A Clasico-Sized Fit
A Clasico which lived up to its name? But of course. And Cristiano was seen off the ball throwing what should now be one of his toddler tantrums? But of course. It's not one of his finest, in fact it'd have a hard time cracking his top five, but it's nice to ...

Mirandes: This Year's Cinderella
Despite the nonsense about some other matchup in the Copa del Rey right now - can't quite remember the names of those rather insignificant teams at the moment - the real story is not east, not west, but down. Way down in the third division. Mirandes, a humble little club ...

Overhead To The Head
Thee Balotelli stamp seems to be making its way round the internet quite soundly right now, but there was a far more vicious boot to the head in Europe this weekend which probably won't see any pop remixes anytime soon. Dorge Kouemaha of Kaiserslautern went to clear a ball out ...

Fly, Fly Away With Diego
When Al Wasl paid a hefty sum of money to Diego Maradona to lead their team, they did so not with the idea of getting the next great football coach, but with the idea that he'd be part coach, part entertainer, occasionally part circus clown. He rarely disappoints, if he ...

Spicing Up The Official Club Page
When you're a Brazilian club of the third division and you're starved for hits on your website, there are only two possible options: i. Hire a spammer. ii. Porn.
