I am supporting the Ivory Coast team after their performance in the world cup but realistically Ghana will propably take the cup. Emperor, Somalia qualified for the Cup of Nations.

Some people here got the notion that this was done by none-Somalis. No in Edmontin is is Somali on Somali crime. Just couple of nights ago there was another shooting at a night club which police taught was for the retaliation of these killings.

Getting to the opponents best player was a good enough reason to put him in.

Since Juve is stripped of its last two championships and the next candidate is also guilty, who gets these titles. Inter seems to be the next eligible team since they've been in the shadow of Juve and milan the last two rounds. seria A final standing last year (2005/6): 1/20 Juve (guilty) 2/20 Milan (guilty) 3/20 Inter 4/20 Fiorentina (guilty) 5/20 Roma 6/20 Lazio (guilty) seria A final standing (2004/5): 1 /20 Juve 2 /20 Milan 3 /20 Inter 4 /20 Udinese 12/20 Lazio 18/20 Fiorentina yeah, 187. Lyon, Bayern, even Hamburg, are all in a good position for the champions leugue but most important of all if Ajax makes it through the qualifying rounds to the group stages, we'll be placed high in poul 2 instead of poul 3. all depending on whether the higher ranked teams make it through the qualifying rounds for the draw. This means easier opposition in the group stages and an almost guaranteed knock-out stage qualification. look at how the pouling seeds could look like with no Juve, milan, and fiorentina: poul a Barcelona Real Madrid Inter Milan Liverpool (has to qualify) Arsenal (has to qualify) Man Utd Valencia (has to qualify) Lyon poul b Porto PSV Eindhoven Bayern Munich Chelsea Roma Ajax (has to qualify) Celtic Lille

This is the best news i've heard in a while. No Juventus or Milan in the Champions league for at least 2 to 5 years. This will change the whole european football season.

I suddenly have a newly found respect for the Azzuris. I never liked their style of play but yesterdays game was a Juventus style mixed with some Milan and Inter style of play. The defense of Juventus, the attacking tactical game and counter attacking style of Milan. And at the same time a fast building offence like that of Inter.

Calgary SW Mosque Pictures Sorry I had to take one of the earlier pictures out. Some peoples license plates were showing.

Liibaan, I wish I could have come to your defense earlier but I didn't have any net access when this was posted in February. Well it's all resolved now. remember i moved to Calgary back in October and you gave me your phone number to contact you when i got there. http://www.somaliaonline.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000416

Now that we know who the winners are to the last eigth, i tought it's about time everyone should be put on the spot and choose the eventual winners, runners up, and third and 4th place teams. This is what i predict, and you know how good I am at predicting sports matches 1 Brasil (total class) 2 Germany (third best after brasil, argentina but the fatherland gives you an edge) 3 Italy (never count the azzuris out) 4 Portugal (yeah damn it - cheaters)

There is one more African team left in the competition. Yes, France is African!

Ghana was amazing!

Australia could pull it off. Not that they have a good team but Hiddink is one heck of a coach. Korea, who he was coaching ended 4th last world cup. PSV Eindhoven, who he was coaching shook the mighty AC Milan in the semi-finals of last years Champions league. PSV Eindhoven, who he was coaching won two back-to-back Eredivisie titles and one cup final.

The Ghana football association has apologized for the thing with the Israeli flag. Ivory Coast, even though lacking the tactical game was the best African team to reach the finals this time around. Ghana is now the only African team left unless Tunisia can pull of a magical thing. I am 100% behind Ghana as long as they don't cross paths with Holland. Ghana has one heck of a team. Anything from a guy running around with an Israeli flag, couple of players doing sujood to celebrate a goal, and a guy making the sign of the cross to celebrate a goal. After all this, it is still one team. Talk about african union.

I'll be watching the match tonight. GO EDMONTON GO!

Another world cup, another heavy defeat for the Saudis by a European team. What an embarrasment.
