Ronaldo will beat all records, says Madrid legend Santillana

Santillana has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to go on and break every goalscoring record at Real Madrid. Ronaldo scored four goals against Elche on Tuesday, adding to the hat-trick he bagged at the weekend against Deportivo La Coruna, to put him level with the former Santiago Bernabeu forward on 186 goals in La Liga. The Portuguese moved level with the former Blancos striker - who describes the forward as a "beast" - with his tally of La Liga goals in midweek

Where would the Blame Go: Keshi or the Glass House?

Boss Keshi

Against the Congolese and the South Africans, The Super Eagles of Nigeria were, as usual, predictable, useless at set pieces, opted for kick-and-follow football, and could barely string meaningful passes together. Is it safe to say that Stephen Keshi has reached his peak with the national team and that it’s time for fresh ideas in the dressing room?. The Super Eagles managed a well-deserved 3-2 loss in Calabar and an undeserved point gained against Bafana Bafana of South Africa, who can only blame their poor finishing and inexperience for failing to take all three. While the South Africans lacked composure and clinical finishing, Claude Le Roy's Congo had Thievy Bifouma to rely on, although Ogenyi Onazi, Kenneth Omeruo and Godfrey Oboabona were all complicit in making the former West Bromwich Albion loanee look like Thierry Henry. It look like "We had a good team on paper; unfortunately, the game was played on grass."

Or is it the administrative disaster at the Glass house that is impacting performances on the pitch?

There's no perfect answer to either question, but two things are clear.

1. Keshi’s team has not improved since their Afcon triumph.

2. You cannot expert cohesion in a football house that is in disarry

3. Aminu Maigari and Chris Giwa are not in charge of the Super Eagles’ dressing room.

Congo Vs Nigeria another record to be broken in Cape Town

For 33 long years the West African giants have not lost a competitive match on their own patch. 1981 was the last home defeat, invincibility ever since….few of the continent’s nations could have made claims greater than that…until now. Records are there to be broken, or so they say, but the current Nigeria squad will surely be devastated that the Super Eagles’ proud history of resilience at home fell on their watch. The Republic of Congo strode into town behind Claude Le Roy, a wily, savvy veteran who knows how to forge resilient, yet offensive-minded teams. He hasn’t always succeeded, but he did on Saturday, dethroning the African champions with unforgettable lesson.

Two-goal hero Vilakazi confident Bafana can finally end Nigeria Dominance in Africa

Sibusiso Vilakazi, who inspired South Africa to a 3-0 victory against Sudan, has spoken to the media ahead of the mouthwatering tie against Nigeria. The 1996 Afcon winners now hope to win their first ever competitive game against the Super Eagles on Wednesday at the Cape Town Stadium. “We just need to keep our feet grounded and the rest will follow. The players know what it means to represent one’s country; they know that behind their backs that they are carrying the hopes of 52 million people," Vilakazi said. The PSL player of the season scored twice in Omdurman to set Shakes Mashaba on a good spell in his first game in charge of Bafana Bafana.
