Kick ISSA HAYATOU out of CAF !!!

THE AFCON 2010 edition has now come and gone.

Congratulations to Egypt for winning an unprecedented third AFCON title on the trot.

Certainly this makes a mockery of the 2010 World Cup-the African champions will not be there.

What is more embarrasing is that Egypt brushed aside three of the 4 African countires that willbe in the 2010 World Cup.This brings to question again the year in which this continental showpiece is held. Is it wise to have it on the year of the World Cup? I certainly don't think so.

Apart from the shambolic refereeing in the tournament, lack of leadership by CAF has left a bitter taste and is fastly making a mockery of CAF as a whole.

CAF- in fact ISSA HAYATOU- this man is not deserving to be leading this continental Federation- he is useless, visionelss, and invisible- you only see him in Africa when it is CAF elections to positions, you see him when Sepp Blatter is touring the continent.

CAF- showed no leadership when Togo national team players were ambushed, left taumatised, and with 2 fatalities. I can't remember any statement released by CAF inthis regard- except to say the tournament will go ahead.

When the Togo government - did what they are obliged todo- to protect thier cititzens, ordered the team to return home- CAF bans the Togo Football Association- their fault- becuase the Togo government rightfully fears for the safety of its citizens(playesr) who are in the middle of an ambush in Angola- are ordered to withdraw from the AFCON.

CAF- instead slap a ban on Togo for the next two AFCON tournament and a fine.

How low can CAF stoop- choosing to act like this against a national association?

That is rather harsh for Togo Football. They did not leave the tournament out of their own will. Their government felt they had a duty to the players who are citizens of Togo.

My question to CAF: Are they treating loss of life as a political intervention? Are they trying to tell us that the AFCON tournament would have gone ahed even there was a civl war breaking out in Angola.

I am rather dissappointed by CAF and in particular Issa Hayatou who I am not sure why is he still at the helm of African football ?

Sadly, Hayatou has failed African football not once, not twice, but many times and his reward is succesive relection as CAF President.

This man(Hayatou) hardly spend a month in Afirca- he travells around the World being wined and dined by suitors who are lobbying for the vote of the African bloc.

I do not wish to remind South Africans that this is the same man who never voted for South Africa when we were bidding to host the 2006 World Cup.

It's time that our former players like Kalusha Bwalya, Abedi Pele, Roger Milla, should all step forward and be elevated to the CAF leadership.

I support Emmanuel Adebayor in his call for Issa Hayatou and the entire CAF leadership to resign.

ISSA HAYATOU must be recalled!!!

2010 WORLD CUP struggle continues - Germans really hate South Africa

'World Cup in SA a mistake'

World football supremo Joseph Blatter made a big mistake when South Africa was elected host of the 2010 World Cup, Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness was quoted as saying.

Hoeness told the local Muenchner Merkur daily that he will not travel to the June 11-July 11 tournament which faces new security concerns and low ticket sales.

"I was never a friend of a World Cup in South Africa and Africa as long is the security issue is not 100 percent solved," Hoeness said.

"Mr Blatter had to have his way, I always considered it wrong.

"Now you have to make the best out of it (but) I am convinced that deep down Mr Blatter has realised that giving the World Cup to South Africa was one of the biggest wrong decisions he ever made."

Security has always been a key issue around the World Cup, but it was raised again after three men died earlier this month when gunmen attacked the Togo team at the African Cup of Nations in Angola.

However, South African officials insisted that everyone will be safe at the World Cup.

Poor ticket sales for the World Cup have also been reported, with a news conference on the issue scheduled for later on Wednesday in Johannesburg.

Tso fails to score – VOETESK, LOVERBOY

(Sunday Sun 24 January 2010)

Mamelodi Sundowns midfield star Benedict “Tso” Vilakazi is no longer a great lover.

Years ago, any woman would fall for him. But last week five sexy girls told him to voetesk! Tso had tried to impress them with his Gucci outfit and luxury car at Maponya mall.

Vilakazi was dressed like a real swanker. He marched into News Café at the mall in Soweto with his entourage of hangers-on. Sunday Sun spotted him chatting up the girls who were at the restaurant. He introduced himself as top football player and wanted to whisk them away.

But he was flatly turned down and then ignored. When Sunday Sun approached the girls at the table, they all said: “Hell no!”

One of the girls known as Tsatsi, said: “Benedict came to our table and introduced himself, then he wanted to entertain us at his house. He said we were bored, so I don’t understand why he had to tell us that crap.

“We came to the club to have fun, not to look for boys. We don’t work that way. Maybe he thought we were cheap chicks or groupies who he can convince easily,” said Tsatsi.

Another girl who refused to be named said: “Football players are womanizers. I don’t need him in my life. He told us he wanted to entertain us at his house and I said we were not abomagosha!”
