Much appreciated.
I do see the validity of your earlier comments on the west african nations seeming dominance in your matches.
I am looking forward to seeing some of the new teams and talent in the under 20 WC this summer. |

King7 here I something I want to share with you. Have you watched the movie “Last King of Scotland”? It is about a Scottish doctor and his encounter with former Ugandan President the late Idi Amin. In that movie, a part of Amin that is still respected in Uganda is clearly demonstrated. He was a sports loving person and during his reign, Uganda reached the finals of the African Cup of Nations (hosted by Ghana) in 1978 and lost 2-0 to Ghana in the final but had beaten Nigeria 3-0 in the quarterfinals. There were allegations of food poisoning so much that the Ugandans failed to make 6 successful passes in the finals yet in the semis they had characterized their game by passing the ball to at least 10 people before an attack was launched. After the loss, Amin called it a betrayal of the brotherhood and demanded for a replay (which never happened), nevertheless he declared himself “President of the country that plays the best football in Africa”. He had such a wonderful relationship with the oppressed people of Palestine and the general Arab fraternity that he always invited them to come and stay in Uganda. Due to Amin’s initiation of co-operation, we Ugandans now share a lot with our North African brothers. In fact the previous coach of the Uganda Cranes was an Egyptian Mohammed Abbas, who was a gift from the Egyptian government as part of the Nile river usage incentive. There are alot of professors here from up there lecturing for free because of that co-operation. My best lecturer at University was Prof. Taha Nabil (Palestinian now at Cairo University, he made me love Biochemistry). We have had Ugandans gone to play in Egypt because of this co-operation. Today there is a good striker of Uganda, Geoffrey Massa who plays for El Sham (he was in El Msry for 2 seasons). Jackson Mayanja played for El Massry for 5 seasons (1993-1998) I am saying all this to assure you that we from East and Centraal Africa believe that our Northern brothers (Arabs) play fairer football than our West African brothers. The only problem we get from North Africa is the fact that most games are played in the night at freezing temperatures and our players get into lots of trouble. In 1991 SC Villa (my home town team) had drawn 1-1 in the first leg of the then African Club Championship final against Club Africain of Tunisia (Villa even over turned a 2-0 deficit against Al Ahly enroute to the finals) in Kampala and went to Tunis for the second leg and the game was played late in the evening when temperatures were freezing. Final score was 6-1 (7-2) for Club Africain and we couldn’t cry foul because it was our problem not to be adapted to such conditions.
Even in the last World Cup many of us rooted for Tunisia and Angola because they are the sides on our good books. We couldn’t support Ghana because they qualified from our group and stole a 1-1 draw here in Kampala. Players like Mustapha and Yousuf Hadji, Zairi (rated as the most handsome African footballer ever), Cheddah, Chamak, Naybet, Boumnijel, Jaziri, Ramzy, Hossam, Aboutrika are very famous here and we like them. Do you remember the 1998 World Cup match when Hadji Mustapha scored a goal in the 2-2 draw with Norway and ran all the way to the back to hug Naybet? It was amazing! My favourite club from the north is Raja Casablanca although I have some feelings for El Massry. So brother know that we are together, even more now that we support Milan AC and I wouldn’t offend you in anyway. |

AFRICA’S soccer governing body CAF has promised to investigate the Senegalese referee who handled the controversial Nigeria versus Uganda Nations Cup match in Abeokuta.
CAF’s decision follows complaints by Uganda against referee Badara Diatta, who ruled out what should have been a Cranes equaliser in the 90th minute.
The continental football governing body’s general secretary Mustapha Fahmy said that the verdict of the inquiry to be executed by CAF referees’ committee, will be announced next month.
“According to article 10 of the rules of the game, no protest can be launched against a referee’s decision, but I assure you an inquiry can be opened regarding the other points raised in your protest,” Fahmy said in a March 29 letter to the Uganda FA.
Uganda’s soccer governing body FUFA protested what they called biased referees from West Africa, who frustrate teams from East Africa.
Uganda lost the qualifier 1-0 after a last-gasp would-be equaliser was erroneously disallowed. |

| The drama continues down here and hopefully CAF will come up with something good to change the face of African football or else soon the East, Central and Southern African teams will boycott CAF sanctioned events. |

Guys tomorrow in Kampala there is Uganda vs Nigeria. A lot is at stake in this game. Uganda wnats to avenge the 0-1 loss to Nigeria in Aboekuta (Nigeria) after a genuine would be equilizer was disallowed by a Senegalese referee. A win for Nigeria will quarantee them qualification to Ghana 2008. So big is the game that people are arriving from all parts of the country to attend the match at the 40,200 seater Nelson Mandela National Stadium here in Kampala. The game will be telecasted on Africa's largest TV network Supersports of South Africa and all the local TVs here.
Nigerian coach Berti Vogts is sweating with team selection because his senior players like Kanu, Yobo, Yakubu and Obafemi are stuck in Nairobi - protesting and demanding that their $3000 be paid before they step foot in Kampala. This has excited us very much because we have an eternal score to settle with the Nigerians. CAF has appointed an Egyptian referee to handle the game and I expect violence if Uganda loses.
(For the fear of being caught in the anticipated fracas, i have decided to join a halftime commentary team at a local TV station and won't go to see the game in the flesh) |

We got our revenge!!! 2-1
here is a round up of the weekend qualifiers from Africa
Uganda's shock win dominates qualifiers
Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2007 - 19:19
South Africa and Tunisia both took giant strides on Saturday towards qualifying for next year's African Nations Cup finals, both winning 4-0 at home but were overshadowed by Uganda's shock defeat of Nigeria.
South Africa beat Chad in Durban and Tunisia won at home against the Seychelles at Rades to both move to 10 points in their respective group standings and one win away from certain qualification.
Morocco's 2-0 home win over Zimbabwe in Casablanca puts them one point away from securing their place.
Two second-half penalties gave Uganda an upset 2-1 win over Nigeria in their Group Three qualifier in Kampala.
Striker Geoffrey Massa won both penalties as Uganda came from a goal down at half-time in front of a packed crowd estimated at 50 000.
David Obua converted the first kick in the 52nd minute but limped off with injury just five minutes later as Egyptian referee Essam Abdelfattah punished Rabiu Afolabi for a legitimate looking challenge on Massa.
Uganda captain Ibrahim Ssekagya scored the winner in the 65th minute after Massa had been brought down by Nigeria goalkeeper Austin Ejide.
The Super Eagles, who conceded their first goal in the qualifiers, had taken a 25th-minute lead through French-based striker John Utaka, after he ran onto a perfect through ball from captain Nwankwo Kanu.
Nigeria lost their 100 recent record in the process as was the case with Angola, who were held to a 1-1 draw in Eritrea in Group Six.
INTERNATIONAL COMEBACK
Maurito, forced to miss last year's World Cup finals in Germany because of injury, scored on his national team comeback after Angola conceded a 17th-minute goal to Eritrea defender Elias Ali Abubeker.
The draw ended Angola's winning record, but they still have a comfortable five-point lead in the standings.
Sibusiso Zuma scored twice as South Africa overwhelmed Chad 4-0 to set up a new record winning scoreline for the country.
German-based Zuma got both his goals in the first half as the 2010 World Cup hosts stretched their lead in Group 11 to three points.
Nasief Morris opened the scoring with a 13th-minute penalty before Zuma took his career tally of national team goals into double figures with strikes from close range in the 23rd and 33rd minutes.
A mazy run from Elrio van Heerden set up the fourth goal for South Africa in the 68th minute, finished off from close range by Siyabonga Nomvete.
Karim Zaiem scored twice, including a spectacular overhead bicycle kick, as Tunisia easily beat their Indian Ocean island opponents.
Morocco went into a quick lead through Maroune Chamakh in the fourth minute and added a second from Youssef Hadji midway through the first half to beat Zimbabwe.
Rwanda, Sudan and Zambia were also comfortable home winners in the 11 qualifying matches played on Saturday. |
