Omar, Basil, Yus, Joe
Thanks for writing once again about soccer. As you may know, my team,
Arsenal, is playing tonight with Lens of France, in the semi final of the
other UEFA cup.
So PLEASE watch out for them tonight and expect some partying on Gambia L,
by tomorrow, God willing, that is if we win tonight.(laugh)
We are without the suspended Thierry Henry and our effective Captain Tony
Adams; but Dennis Bergkamp is fit and more importantly, the Nigeria Football
Association has now allowed Kanu to play for Arsenal tonight, before joining
the Nigerian Soccer Squad at the weekend, to play for his country, in the
World Cup qualifying rounds.
By the way, are you guys following the tragic developments in Turkey, in
relation to the Leeds United/Galatastary match? Two Leeds United supporters
were reportedly stabbed to death when a very serious violence erupted
between Leeds fans and Galatastary supporters.
The sad events in Turkey are dominating all the radio phone-in programmes
here as I write this piece, but, as usual, xenophobia and narrow nationalist
sentiments are evident in the remarks of most of the callers.
When will the world do away with tribalism, regionalism, xenophobia,
nepotism and all the rest of the "ism"?
Ebrima
