Bosso joins Pillars in Benin

Newly appointed Technical Adviser of Kano Pillars, Isa Ladan Bosso, has joined the team in at their Benin-City camp, where they're preparing for Sunday's CAF Champions League preliminary round match, against Liberia's Mighty Barolle, on Sunday.

The former Flying Eagles coach, who recently agreed terms with the Kano aristocrats, watched the training session led by Baba Ganaru, who has been acting as chief coach since former Technical Adviser, Salisu Yusuf joined Samson Siasia’s Super Eagles backroom staff.

Bosso started the present campaign at his hometown club, Niger Tornadoes, before he was edged out by the club. The former Flying Eagles coach has also worked at Wikki Tourists.

"I introduced the squad to the new Technical Adviser, on Wednesday, and everything went well," Ganaru said to SuperSport.com.

Ganaru told SuperSports.com that he is looking forward to a cordial working relationship with Bosso.

"It’s the first time we’ll work together, but it’s not strange to me because I’ve successfully worked with several top coaches in the past.

"I’ve worked with Kelechi Emeteole, Tunde Abdulrahman, Kafaru Alabi, Justin Tenger, the Ghanaian coach, Jabir Malik, Ivar Sing (Slovenia) and SalisuYusuf," he said.

Pillars had two training sessions, on Tuesday, but a novelty match at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium delayed the afternoon session.

"We tried to achieve our task despite the delay," Ganaru stated.

The Kano side reached the last four in 2008, but lost in the semifinals to Premier League rivals, Heartland.

I had no idea that Pillars have appointed Ladan Bosso as coach.

Morocco will stage the 2015 African Nations Cup and the 2017 edition will be hosted by South Africa, the Confederation of African Football said on Saturday.

The two countries were the only candidates left in the running after the withdrawal from the race of the Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving the 15-man executive committee of African football's governing body to only decide on which country will host in which year.

The decision can be considered a victory for Morocco as both candidates had expressed a desire to host the 2015 edition rather than two years later.

Morocco said the future tournament would help their bid to professionalise football in the north African country while South Africa had sought to sustain momentum gained from a successful hosting of the 2010 World Cup.

Both have previously hosted one Nations Cup -- Morocco in 1988 when there were just eight finalists and South Africa in 1996, just four years after the country's return from long-standing sporting isolation.

Morocco and South Africa were engaged in a much fiercer battle for the right to host the 2010 World Cup, which South Africa won in a tight 14-10 vote in Zurich in 2004.

Next year's African Nations Cup finals are being co-hosted by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

After that, the tournament will be played every odd year with the 2013 tournament already designated to Libya.

CAF Champions League Preliminary First Leg Round-Up

The first leg of the preliminary round of the 15th Orange CAF Champions League 2011 took place over the weekend with some amazing score lines…

Raja Club Athlétic (Morocco) 10-1 Tourbillon FC (Chad)

Raja CA pounded Chad’s champions Tourbillion FC 10-1, with little breathing space for the visitors, who will definitely pack up for the return match, as it appears almost impossible to overturn the situation to edge to the next.

Asec Mimosas (Côte d’Ivoire) 7-0 ASC SNIM –Cansando (Mauritania)

Many people knew Asec Mimosas would defeat the Mauritanian side in Abidjan but not as much to seven goals, to make the meeting seem as a goal festival. Despite the absence of key players from the Cote D’Ivoire champions’ outfit, who are camping ahead of the CHAN 2011, the Yellow and Blacks were able to put together a dreadful squad, but can they really be judged by a weak Mauritania club?

SuperSport United (South Africa) 2-0 Matlama FC (Lesotho)

It was expected to be ‘a walk in the park’ for the reigning PSL champions on Sunday in the first meeting between the two clubs, but the Tshwane side had to settle for a narrow victory over their visitors from Lesotho, which makes things all the more difficult when they head to the Mountain Kingdom for the return leg, which has been penciled for the weekend of 11-13 February.

AS Forces Armées Nigériennes (Niger) 0-0 J. C. A. Treichville (Cote D’Ivoire)

A disappointing goalless draw leaves much to be decided in the second leg of this encounter, where the home side is expected to prevail, although goals will be needed in that match for the victors to progress.

Motor Action F. C. (Zimbabwe) 0-1 Cnaps Sports (Madagascar)

In one of the surprises of the round, the Madagascans stunned the Zim champions with a narrow 1-0 win in Motor Action's backyard. The Zimbabweans will be determined to overturn the deficit when they visit the Islanders in the return leg of the competition's first round.

Ulinzi Stars Football (Kenya) 0-4 Zamalek (Egypt)

Kenya Premier League champions Ulinzi Stars will be devastated with their poor showing at the hands of the perilous Egyptians who humiliated them with a 4-0 beating in Kenya. There is little hope for the Kenyans to progress to the second round considering the fact that they will be visiting the Egyptians in the second leg with four strikes against them.

Insurance lost yet again to First Bank 2 - 1. Insurance also lost 1 - 0 to FC Ebedei the week before last week.
Before this round of games, Insurance were third from bottom. I suppose they'd have dropped further

As it's now, the should be fighting to avoid relegation and just forget about promotion.

Congrats Djokovic. . . I don't think it's still right to call him The Joker following his performance at the US Open, Davis Cup and now this win.

Andy Murray; British number one - I think that's all the title he will win. Anyway, I expect him to leapfrog Robin Soderling and move back to no. 4 when the new rankings are released.
I also expect Kim Clijsters to move into no. 1. Wozniacki has shown us that she is no different from Dinara Safina, Ana Ivanovic or Jelena Jankovic - overrated number ones.

Zamfara United 1 vs JUTH 0

Shooting Stars 1 vs Crown FC 1

Rangers 0 vs Warri Wolves 0

Ocean Boys 2 vs Dolphins 0

Sunshine Stars 2 vs Lobi Stars 0.

Dolphins' four game winning streak has come to an end. This is also the first time Dolphins and Kaduna United have failed to score in a match.
Crown FC have also overcome their 4 game losing streak.  Good result for Wolves. It's a very tough job getting a draw away to Rangers.

dayokanu:
Well maybe you are used to senseless running.

The same players that produced the most exciting football at the World Cup and bigger stage.

Maybe you prefer Pius Ikedia senseless running around in the EPL

May God help you

Bayern were not at their best. Bremen weren't either. Gomez was diving all around the pitch. Marin was anonymous all through the game. The only lively player was Gustavo.

7 points clear at the top. . . Couldn't have come at a better a time. Now, this will take the pressure of our players and again we have some tricky fixtures coming up this 2nd half of the season - Villareal, Valencia, Sevilla and Madrid, all away and Bilbao at home. The points cushion will make sure we remain on top even if we drop points.

It's surely over. The battle has been won and lost already. Hahaha La Liga loca. . . Viva La Liga

holydante:
We are solidly 7 points rooted @ the la liga top spot with Madrid needing us to loose 2 matches and pull a draw for them to play catch up(assuming they maintain a winning streak)

For los blancos trobles and visit to Pamplona, they got handed a 1-0 thrashing. It was a nice game plan by the deep backline of Osasuna, they stuck like leech on Ronaldo and didn't give any breathing space to Ozil n Dimaria to free the guy and come up with somefn tangible, Benzema continued his misfiring streak and was suprisingly kept on all through the hostilities.

Camuno put the pamplona side up by 1,the goal looked marginally offside but replay has it as a clear one

Mou did a desparate 3-man change @ a go with Diarra out for Alonso, Kaka on for Albion, and Adebayor(meanwhile Adebayor has not played a competitive match since Nov and it showed in his performance) for Dimaria, that had a massive attacking option but the suprising outcome was that Osasuna even created more scoring chances after Madrids scary substitutions and every of their player gave a confidence display that was amazing, Pandiani even refused to be susbstituted and the ref had to blow play on(tho he later was substituted). I suppose Christina made one shot attempt @ the opposition. Osasuna blew some clear cut goal scoring opportunities with a goal line clearance by Madrid (they cldve easily have been 2 or 3 goals up).

Worthy of mention is that the officiating was grossly baised in favour of madrid with 10 yellow cards flashed and Mou showed great courage and restraint by not screaming @ his under performing players. Wow,its a tough one for them with a crunch tie against Sevilla mid week for CDR,they'l need to be at their best

This puts them within 6 points of The Yellow submarines and that'l be a tonic for villareal to play catch up (they are currently 17 mins into their Espanyol game and am expecting fireworks from these two sides)

7 points adrift, catch us if u can

On Barca I stand

khanye:
Happy b-day Medjai. . . Wat e do?. .

Is he still the Special One (or the Lost One) #JoseMourinho. . . L☺L

Stealthy:
Happy birthday medjai. Osasuna gave you a wonderful present

Welcome back holydante - we missed your write-ups!

Thanks to the not-so-special one, we're now 7 points ahead & can actually afford to lose 2 games. I knew the fact that RM need to play their 1st 11 in almost every match would cost them sometime - I just didn't expect it so soon. Even Pellegrini did better in his 1st season than Mou. I saw his desperate 3 man sub and just laughed that the match was lost - they were lucky not to concede a 2nd goal.

I hope Pep uses our B team again on Wed, irrespective of the scoreline against Betis. Betis was always a tougher proposition that Almeria anyway. Besides, hardly any team can come back from a 5-0 defeat from a 1st leg.

Muchos gracias, un amor(Many thanks, one love)

^^ Almeria: return leg of the CDR s/final.

Lest I forget guys, today is my birthday.
Our boys already gave me a wonderful present last night.

Djokovic on course for his second Aussie title. . .

Pedro has also equalled his goals tally of 19 last season with his opening goal yesterday being his 19th of the season.
He has scored in all of our last 6 league matches.

holydante:
Fellow cules,

Oh my lawd, I can't believe its been this long; I have been on a life-definning project that had me both ends and I cld hardly open up my browser although I am permanently online but cldnt do a thingy but I thank God its coming to an end.

Stealthy "the brainy one", chich2pimpy, Khanye, Scantee, Medjai" the wise", eyoniggar, Pharoh, Lord Ajanle, Johny Pee double 8 "the passionate", and odas I sure do miss you guys and the posts, ve been reading and re-reading all your comments since early morning.

So much to talk about and having gone through the threads,am delighted @ the insightful unrivalled posts by all them guys here (and ladies too when they'l show up)

Johniy Pee-double 8 tenks for checking up on moi.

Like someone opined,quite a lot of unravelling revelation, and yesterday confirmed our wing play too nature, like Boss Ajanlekoko noted. Hercules have been a spoiler of sorts to Barca down memory lane and that was more of their tonic than a desire to win and surely when such factor beclouds a team,then they will surely be made to pay against a compact-history-hungry-making side like Barca. Anoder applause for the team is the resilience that a single didgit lead wasn't enough and instead of defending and ball wasting(it was only Valdes that did so once) attacked right up to the last whistle and like Peps philosophy of wearing opponents down with long periods of possession and large doses of patience, it surely payed off, and I observed messi was miffed with himself for not putting away @ least 1(that was a right attitude for a striker and the goals did come,notice that he received a knock/foul to the 2nd goal build up in the 18 yrd box bt he stayed on his feet and like providence always rewards the resilient,the opportunity came across- its reminiscent of Pedro's 2nd goal of the high five drubbing of the eternal rival)

We look for ward to better days and as an aside, the assenHole WenGay bois r really coming up and its doing their confidence a lot of good, wld luv 2 see them in their full strength against us so that the gooners crowd followers wnt hv much excuse to give after they r sent to uefa cup(hpe they'l b entitled to that slot after this round)

*lookn 4wrd to Adebayor's los blancos performance today that is if he deesnt fight his mates @ d Bernabeu(his stock in trade)

Great to have you back Holydante.

Another thing that came to the fore in yesterday's match is why we need to keep Dani Alves. . . He was massive; he always is and hardly ever puts in a bad shift.
He made the assist for the second goal and generally looked lively.
Good performance from the lads yesterday.

^^ That game was incredibly boring.

Plateau United 0 vs Kaduna United 0.

Metalingus - Alter Bridge

^^My bad. . . I meant Bright Ejike.

Four straight wins for the Babes now.

Messiiiiiiiiii. . . absolutely brilliant finish.

I think it's a good move. We'll get to see him more often and again, he has the experience from his stint with Newcastle. I think he'll also get a lot of playing time because asides Cameron Jerome, Birmingham has no other good striker. Nikola Zigic is firing blanks and may soon be loaned out to Racing Santander and Kevin Phillips is 37 years old.
Martins is still one of our best strikers, he needs a lot of playing time.
