ponsaelius Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Only the halfway stage, but qualification for the ACoN next year is looking very unpredictable with some big teams having the possibility of failing to qualify. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Africa_Cup_of_Nations_qualification Botswana are already there, having won 5 and drawn 1 of their 6 games. Before then they'd never even really came close to qualifying. Egypt, who have won the last 3 tournaments have just 1 point from their first 3 games. It's looking very likely that they wont get there. Cameroon too, look like they must rely on getting in as a best runner up, while Morocco and Algeria are tied on points with Central African Republic and Tanzania. Cape Verde also top their group ahead of Mali as it stands. I doubt many of you apart from Baba will find this at all interesting, but it seems weird that these smaller nations with shocking past records in qualifying are pushing the perennial big guns all the way.

Ocho Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 OptaJoe 100 - Rogerio Ceni (the top scoring goalkeeper in professional football) scored his 100th goal this weekend. Curler. http://bit.ly/eu3t16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocho Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 He has 98 official goals, two of them were in a friendly and didn't count says FIFA. In any case, it's some mean feat. If you want to watch all 100 goals, you can find them at the bottom of this page: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1370657/Rogerio-Ceni-scores-100th-career-goal.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerof69 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3493900/Survey-reveals-Manchester-United-are-the-most-loathed-company-in-Britain.html MANCHESTER United is the most loathed company in Britain, a poll shows. Twenty-six per cent of people put Sir Alex Ferguson's team at the top of their hate list. Soccer rivalry and the success and power of the club were blamed. The next most hated firm was Ryanair, with 23 per cent. People said they can't stand the airline's money-grabbing antics. British Gas, blamed for hiking prices, was hated by 22 per cent, and fast food giant McDonald's by 19 per cent. Britain is still seething at the bonuses paid to bankers - with 17 per cent naming RBS and 16 per cent Lloyds as the firms they cannot stand. They were followed by Starbucks (14 per cent) and BT (13 per cent). The Online Opinions survey of 1,000 people found banking was the most hated sector, followed by utilities, petrol firms, fast food outlets and public transport. edit: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3493820/Scotland-fans-accused-of-racially-abusing-Brazil-star-Neymar.html SCOTLAND'S Tartan Army were last night accused of racially abusing Brazilian wonder-kid Neymar. The £30million-rated Chelsea target claimed a banana was thrown at him after scoring twice in his country's 2-0 friendly win at the Emirates Stadium. THROWN ... banana Neymar said: "I was running down the touchline in the second half and saw the banana but I didn't see where it came from. The fans were jeering me a lot. This atmosphere of racism is totally sad." But Hamish Husband of the Tartan Army Association emphatically denied the claims. He insisted: "Any suggestion of racism today is absolute tosh. "The only reason Neymar was booed was because we believed he was feigning injury." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
