Pa Samba Jow (Coach): I agree with you totally. James Gomez's idea (for some Gambians) to meet with the Ambassador in person is brilliant. And I hope the brothers and sisters in the US, especially those in the East Coast, would make good use of it. Ebrima Ceesay PS: By the way, do you still follow soccer? If you still do, well, it seems that there are exciting times ahead for the English Premiership. We are hoping to see in England (in August 2001) talents like Argentinian player maker Juan Sebastian Veron and Dutch striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy. One of the most informed soccer writers in world, the unimpeachable Harry Harris of the Daily Mirror newspaper, has broken the story that "Veron is joining Manchester United next week". I am not a Manchester United fan, but having a talent like Veron in England would be very good for English football. As for Arsenal, it appears that we are going to lose Patrick Veirra. He is still under contract, but he says he wants to leave Arsenal for Juventus or Real de Madrid. Really, it would be a blow not just to Arsenal, but English football as a whole, if Patrick left England for Spain or Italy. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
