Finally Lagerback names squad

FANS,

This is strictly for the "Green, White, & Green" (G.W.G) fanatics. Our Swedish coach has spoken and he sounds just his Naija counterparts. Why the Portsmouth boys? Why Kanu? I run faster than "Papilo"; I have a pot belly and a bad back so go figure! Well, I will be there to keep you guys updated and try to not be judgmental...right?

At any rate, here is the Nigeria squad:

Vincent Enyeama (Hapoel Tel Aviv, Israel), Dele Aiyenugba (Bnei Yehuda, Israel)Austin Ejide (Hapoel Petach Tikvah, Israel)

Weekend shopping spree!!!

FANS,

I hate shopping so buying things for other people is a chore. I am tired and "maxed" out. Well, on the bright side I think I am done so I start packing my luggages tomorrow. I hope I don't remember another request...LOL

Please enjoy this song! This is the official song from a brother from Somali...Wave the Green, White, Green...my American FANS, I will let you wave the "star spangled banner" just this one time...ROTFLOL

A beautiful sad day!

FANS,

I am listening to this reggae jazz CD "Dean Plays Bob, Vol. 2" with some "vino" while trying to delve into reality. I am leaving my family for over a month and it is finally sinking in and I see it in their eyes - daddy's little girl is perturbed and Deuce is rolling with the punches; and I had to convince the wifey to leave the AMEX at home because her sideways look is terrifying - she might put a clamp on my trip :)

I finally invited my friends from work and Facebook to follow my journey through South Africa. I got a lot of encouragement from my co-workers. I guess it is on...I am up to the challenge, please leave vicariously through me!

Still new at this blogging thing

I guess the question should be can a FAN have fans?...I guess that is what I'm about to find out. At any rate, please bear with me while decipher and navigate this blog world. I am not a whiz nor am I geek (wifey might disagree on the geek level); however, I am willingly to learn.

My big sister just found me an appropriate photo for my blog profile. "Madam, the madam", way to go!!!

A week to go...

Fanatics (aka FANS), the time is near and the party is about to start. I have a flag of green, white, and green in one hand and a set of binoculars in the other. Yes, I love soccer, travelling, and sight-seeing and this trip will afford me the opportunity to experience all three at the same time.

My fellow soccer FANS, please follow me as I begin my trek to South Africa. God Bless!
