Togo

[superkingdave]

I've decided that Togo will be my second team for the World Cup.

They will be competing the the African Nations cup if they agree to go, at the moment the squad is refusing to travel unless they get $40,000 each

Emmanuel Adebayor(plays for Monaco) is the man to look out for, though my favourites are Cougbadja Sherif and Emmanuel Mathias.

If they turn up they'll play Congo on the 21 Jan, Cameroon on the 25th and Angola on the 29th

Haven't Arsenal signed Adebayor?

yes they have

 

[Agent TBY]

I've managed Tchangai, not heard of much else.

 

[The Baconator]

I'll probably be backing Togo in their group, especially if they somehow manage to do a Senegal and beat France.

Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

Togo will get smashed by at least five goals in at least one game. Totally devoid of experience, not to mention talent (Adebayor aside) - they're not a patch on what Senegal were when they beat France.

Didn't Togo beat Senegal to quailify for the WC?

 

[superkingdave]

Well Togo's ACN campaign got off to a poor start, losing 2-0 to Congo and now it looks like Abedayor has has an argument with the coach and walked out. I hope Arsenal haven't had anything to do with that.

It was being reported that he was ill with a poorly tummy before the game, consequently was named on the bench. Reading between the lines (as you did) it may be that it's because his money belt wasn't heavy enough, thus allowing the butterflies to take flight.

He came on with the score 2-0 and put himself about a bit for 5 minutes, then seemed to lose any enthusiasm.

Lua-lua was brilliant, laying one on a plate and scoring one with a dazzling shimmy at the edge of the box that bought him a yard of space.

Brilliant game.

 

[superkingdave]

Well Togo lost 2-0 to Cameroon to put an early end to their ACN campaign, saving all their good stuff for the WC obviously,

 

[Jamee999]

Didn't Togo beat Senegal to quailify for the WC?

Yes but Senegal 2002 >>>>>>>>Senegal 2005

 

[33/3from3.3]

I'll back Togo if they beat England at any point
I'll go get my Togan flag, shirt, and Emmanuel Adebayor bobblehead

Wish he'd remember how to do that in a blue shirt. Lazy, selfish little.....

 

[superkingdave]

well the coach has gone, at least Adebayor will be back for the WC
