Eto'o roaring again!!!

Samuel Eto'o is no stranger to records and it seems there is no stopping this Cameroonian lion from legendary status. The FC Barcelona striker is a 3-time African Footballer of the Year, Olympic Gold Medalist, African Nations Cup Champion, Spanish League Champion, Champions league Winner European Champion amongst many other accomplishments.

Eto'o again proved he was not yet done with his record, scoring two of Cameroon's three goals against Sudan in the final round of the African Nations' Cup qualifying phase to become the competition's all-time leading goalscorer with sixteen.

Ivory Coast legend Laurent Pakou held the previous record of 14 goals for 38 years. No African deserves the honour of breaking the record than Samuel Eto'o.

The Cameroonian striker, who is in his fifth Nations Cup Finals will have at least one more opportunity to add to his tally as the Indomitable lions have reached the quarter finals.

Elephants Ensure Super Eagles passage!

Wow! I let out one huge sigh of relief as I learned that Drogba's Cote d' voire had just trounced the little Malian Eagles 3-0.

At the start of todays simultaneous match ups, Mali needed just a draw to advance to the round of eight, while the Ivorians who were already through just needed to stay pretty. Nigeria's star studded Super Eagles had been disappointing in two group match ups against Ivory Coast and Mali. Having drawn blanks in a 0-1 loss to Didier Drogba's side and playing goalless with enterprising Mali, the highly rated Super Eagles were 'soaring' on borrowed time. Group whipping boys, Benin were already out of it.

Soccer pundits (including Your's truly) had already written the Super Eagles off. Amazingly the Super Eagles through goals from a pair of English based players dumped 2 goals past hapless Benin, while Mali fell badly by 3 un-replied goals. Chelsea Midfielder John Mikel Obi and Everton leading scorer Yakubu Aiyebgeni contributed the Nigerian goals, while Drogba opened scoring in the rout of Mali.

The next round of Matches sees Nigeria's Super Eagles taking on their traditional soccer foes, hosts Ghana in Accra, while Ivory Coast should have it easier against West Africans Guinea.

Its all in the air now!
Go Super Eagles!!! Dim the Black stars in Accra.
