Is he in their final 23 for the World Cup or just the preliminary 30?

Final 23 have to be announced tomorrow IIRC so we will find out then. He should be, if not Sven's a ****.

Wouldn't suprise me if Sol didnt make it.

Sven never came to see him after promising he'd see all players. Instead saw the wigan centre half numerous times (who hadn't been in recent squads) and a fulham player who doesnt even make it off the bench for club, and has been nowhere near international squads.

But the SPL is crap don't you know, if he plays in the SPL he's nowhere near good enough for internationals.....:grr:

Is that number 22 Bamba? Looks like him but the quality of the media player is pretty poor.

Good stream here. I'm flicking between this and Football Manager so no idea if he's on or not.

He will still (officially) be a HOMFC player until the end of his contract this summer => they would have got payments for him.

zlatan
30-05-2010, 04:41 PM
That is him playing at CB :agree:

edit - if he's getting the 2nd half here then provided he does nothing silly then I'd imagine he'll be in the final 23.

Hibernian Verse

Yeh I hope so Zlatan. I, like you, am switching between that and FM so if someone could keep updating us on how he's playing because I don't understand the Polish commentary on my stream...cheers :greengrin

Probably won't play though. Sven always showed bias towards players from bigger clubs when he was England manager, to the extent that he was ridiculed for it.

eg he would always pick Heskey when he was with Liverpool, but then went off him after he left them.

According to the commentater it was 'Yapa Yapa' who made it 2-0 :confused:

My commentator just called him Soulemayne, I think they're Paraguayan chaps though.

As it stands we should get a decent fee for Sol in the summer even if he doesnt play.

If he plays and has a good world cup then thats ideal but if he plays and gets ripped up for erse paper then we could lose out big time.

Being big, strong and athletic might stand you in good stead in the SPL but much more than that is needed at International level and I'm 50/50 as to whether he is up to it there. Hope he is mind and time will tell.

Unless a deal is done already it looks like clubs are waiting to see how he does there also.

Based on this performance Bamba is on to win the balon d'or tbh.

Bamba booked for chopping Santa Cruz. That's about as near as he's got to him.

2-2 Paraguay score off the resulting free kick (deflected)

Bamba came on at half time vs Paraguay today and scored. He also made two mistakes leading to two goals, but cleared a certain goal off the line.

We'll find out tomorrow I suppose.

About Kingston. Stolen from minihunsback

Ghana midfielder Laryea Kingston was prevented from physically assaulting coach Milovan Rajevac after he was axed from the Black Stars final 23-man squad for the World Cup next month.

But the Serbian manager was not spared the verbal attacks of the midfielder after his axing from the final squad on Saturday, accusing the tactician of being a bad coach.

An incensed Kingston had to be held back by the vice president of the Ghana FA Fred Pappoe as he went for the coach with an arm raised and a fist clenched.

But Kingston verbally attacked the cowering coach repeatedly with in a very loud an angry outburst, an insider told MTNFootball exclusively.

“I swear to God you are not a good coach. You don’t know anything about football, you stupid man!,” Kingston yelled in the foul-mouthed explosion which last over five minutes.

Kingston’s exclusion has shocked fans because he was tipped to make the final squad after missing the 2006 tournament because of suspension.

The axing of the former Scotland-based midfielder compounds his misery after his contract with Hearts was not renewed.

The Ghana FA had warned dropped players against violent recriminations in a letter they signed last week, promising to be of good behaviour when they are left out.

But Kingston seems to have followed in the footsteps of Baba Armando who accused officials of taking bribes from players before the final squad for the 2006 World Cup was named.

Armando has since not been invited and it looks likely that like Francis Dickoh, who verbally abused coach Claude Le Roy after he was left out of the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations squad, Kingston will not be entertained in future assignments.

That's the sort of physicality that usually results in at least 5 agonising and painful minutes on the ground for poor Larry. Hope he's ok. Lucky there's few braver men walking on this planet who have the guts and desire to bounce back from this. Good luck to him.

That just means that he has been told his contract will not be renewed, which isn't the same thing as being released outright.

Apologies if posted before but their "Star" has been dropped from the Ghana Team.

Not good enough to go to the world cup anyway, spends half of the match getting to know the ground.

You can understand his anger. At the age of 48 you would have to think this would be his last chance of playing in the world cup...

That strip's an 'African Unity' design that's being worn by all Puma-sponsored African teams. It's supposed to represent the whole of Africa, from the vibrant sky to the fertile earth. At least, that's what the marketing bollocks says.
