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)

Defenders

Taye Taiwo (Marseille, France), Elderson Echiejile (Rennes, France),Chidi Odiah (CSKA Moscow, Russia), Joseph Yobo (Everton, England),Ayodele Adeleye (Sparta Rotterdam, Netherlands),Rabiu Afolabi (SV Salzburg, Austria),Danny Shittu (Bolton Wanderers, England)

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!
