Can you remember this Game ? by Mgpaki(m): 6:14pm On Aug 12, 2014
Looking back in retrospect to my childhood days, i decided to share to my fellow nairalanders my favourite game then; Kantas.
"Kantas" as we call it in our native Hausa Language is a game which follows the format of football.

The Players.

The players consist bottled soft drinks crowns (pepsi, 7up etc) and sometimes mentholatum and robb containers. The goal keeper is usually a radio cassette

The Stadium.

The stadium is a rectangular area of about 45m long and 25m wide (when playing inside the house, we use the floor tiles for measurement) . The goal poles are made from flexible metals and rag is used as the net.

Format.

The game following the football format e.g 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 5-4-1 based on the team you are using(usually select my own favourite football team, R.Madrid).

No need for a refree or a line man.


Best game ever.

it's the same in Yoruba land...wonder why kids of this age don't do these stuffz anymore; mobile phones I guess.

I'm trying hard to remember how to play this game again. ↓ more like the board game called 'draft' or something. I really loved it back then in Basics. grin
