Paul, bald move. But it might just cost you your life.

Before you lot jump the gun, the following speaks volumes: Horta what does 'D' in the "D-block" stand for?? am i correct in assuming it stands for Da'bo'dhi'liif ...

SOL moderators are experiencing their own U TV faut-pas here. Take this thread off the site before it gets ugly.

I was hoping this World cup wouldn't go to Europe. Hope no hope, it was. Now, how about Uruguay taking this home? Even though, the eff-ers cheated us of a win.

Truely, one brilliant young lady. With all the temptations of successful life, she could've been easily derailed from the pursuit of being a legend, yet she stuck to it and is delivering. Good example. What I like even more is that she's giving back. She is funding schools in Kenya. That is good.

Say what you want about every other member of the England squad, but A Cole did marvellously well. He was the only member of the team who played to World Cup grade footie. Gaal dil, gartiisana sii, dee.

I think Van Persie is good enough to play as a lone front man, but, and this is crucial, his main flaw is the fact that he shoots with only one foot (leftie). Everytime that he gets the ball, he will always move his body to get the strike on the left, and that can easily be defended most of the time. However, he really does have a good eye for goal and can finish it beautifully. Maybe, just maybe, if Holland can afford to partner him someone else up front, he will be useful against the Samba boys.

"Holland does not have a target man upfront " What about Van Persie. He is up front and can play as a target man. I think he's the Netherlands target man and he is very good muscling his way into the box and may I add has a clinical finishing abilities.

Holland haven't had a real test as yet, and the game against Brazil will bring out their true colours. I doubt that Holland will go beyond the quarters. I am almost certainly sure that they will literally park the bus at the box in the hope of qualifying for the quarters in penalties. So, it is Portugal all over again. I am also looking forward to Argies vs Germany match. This will be a test for both teams. Questions will be asked of Argentina's defence and their cohesiveness as a team. Germany will have to answer questions of general strength and depth and see if their quick high tempo pass and confidence can survive a probable early scare by the Argies (who probably have the most frightening strikers of any team in this tournament). I think the winner of the tournament is going to come from one these (Argentina vs Germany, Brazil vs Holland, Spain vs Portugal - less emphasis on the Portuguese, I dont think they're well equipped).

No technology, an extra ref behind the goal is enough.

I am sick and tired of 'Africa not going beyond the last 8...' It is not good enough to finish 8. Why not the last 4 ot even the last 2 or the last 1, eh?

USA have just equalised.

Gotta take your hat off to the early Somalis. They were the creme de la creme of our people. Show what we can do, if we get down to it.

Cali Dheere han isaga kii warlord ka ahaay miyaa? If that is the case, the credibility of Shabab is in question.

I am not from this part of the country, but you can not imagine how proud I feel to see this happening in our country. Even though, the area and admin have their flaws, this is woderful. Long may it continue.

^What a joke! Somalis of Bakool and Bay are likened to Oromos? So, let me get this right. If they have a dialect, which as you alluded don't understand, they're part of the 'muslim communities of the horn of Africa, like the Oromos?'.. I wonder where your definition puts people who originate from your neck of the woods who were born and brought up in Bay & Bakool? 'Cuz, apart from the lineage, they would be Oromos, right? What a joke!

^Following from the discussion on there, why is it that Hargeisa folks can take advantage of their success and try and kick start the same thing for the rest of the country and spearhead the beginning of a new Somalia rather than chasing what looks like far fetched dream, i.e., the recognition. Just imagine Somaliland and Puntland joining forces to bring back the dignity and the nation of Somalia. It is possible, you know.

Stup!d African teams, ha galbadaan. Murqo meesha loogama baahna ee waxaa loo baahan yahay maskax shaqeyneysa. Look at the S Koreans and the Japanese, not any better but they use skill, being inventive and confidence on the ball whereas murqo weynayaal ay caqli xumo iyo xoog meesha la yimaadeen. War waxan na dhaafi, ha iska sii galbadaan. Responses of 3 African professionals when asked about why Africa doesn't have their own to coach them (I'm paraphrasing this): 1 (The Coach) We don't have enough support (meaning from the national FA's) behind us (the African coaches). He added, I wouldn't be disappointed, If, when they replace us, they would replace us with quality coaches, the likes of Mourinho, Furguson et al, instead, he said, they replace us with 'junk'. 2. (The aging footballer) He simply asserted that the system in place is rotten to the core and as long as that system is in place no quality either foreign or local will come out of it. 3. (The fool with the talent) In his small mind all African coaches ask money off their rich footballers and ask for their shirts. I am very angry with that last comment.

How about Honda!? The fella is gifted and totally unselfish. I am loving Japan and their style and confidence, absolutely beautiful self confidence on the ball which may I add all the bloody African countries lack.

Ghana have been scoring single goal for months now, seriously. This is worrying for them. I hope there are more strikers up front in the knockout stage or else....

It can almost be said the same for France,all I saw were black players..mar baan iis weydiyee..Where are the 'real' frenchii..heh I saw a French philosopher quoted as saying, 'these footballers are scum and more interested in burning cars in housing estates than integrating into French society'. Now that is strong stuff.

Xamar cade iyo Koostarkeedii..... Qofkii u baahan a bit of nostalgia, alaabtaan waxay wali ka shaqeysaa Djibouti, in pretty much the same fashion.

Wallaahi, it is easy to shop for human body parts in Somalia and with the people there nowadays, all sorts of gangs would have their way with them. The poor and ill educated Somalis are again going to be the victims of this trade. Yaa Rabi, when is this gonna end?
