A tale of two Eagles
Nigeria vs. Mali…Recap
What a great game, at least from my perspective. As far as 0-0 draws go, this was a pretty entertaining one. From the outset you could feel the drama and pressure as African giants Nigeria were up against the wall facing possible elimination at the hands of a growing African football [...]
Which Eagles are feeling the pressure?
Another big day for African football coming up. My focus will be on the second game of January 25th, the Super Eagles of Nigeria against the Eagles of Mali. This is a crucial game. Chances are one of those two teams will advance to the knockout round and the other will be heading home with [...]
Opening game nerves
I think now that we are through most of the first round of games for this years ACN, we can safely say that many of the teams have exhibited at least some first game jitters. This is not a surprise as with such a big stage and so much pressure, being a little nervous is [...]
Game 1 in the books
Well folks, it wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t overwhelming but the Eagles got the job done. Here’s your recap.
This game had a little bit of everything from a power outage just before kick-off, to some pre-game line-up drama, and how about a fresh face in the uniform game.

After seeing virutally identical Puma kits [...]
Mali vs. Benin…a preview
With kick off less than 24 hours away I suppose it’s time to get psyched for this game.
When: 1930h GMT
Where: Sekondi, Ghana
The opponent: The Squirrels of Benin. Needless to say, Benin shouldn’t really bring any surprises to the game against Mali. The two West African sides are quite familiar with each other after qualifying [...]
Say it ain’t so…
So in my travels across the internet today, prepping for the Eagles opening match tomorrow against Benin, I found something quite interesting. If you’ve been reading about the new kits for teams such as Guinea and Mali by a relatively new company by the name of Airness, then you probably have seen the all-new Mali [...]
Mahamadou’s new shirt
Like my fellow blogger over at the Ghana page, I’m getting the kit fever. With Mali set to kick off their 2008 ACN we might as well get an idea for what kind of threads they will be sporting. After some hunting around I have come across this new kit:
Does it remind anyone else [...]
Tough road ahead for Mali
After taking a brief look at the case for Groups A, C, and D for being considered the “Group of Death”, I wanted to take a moment now to look at the group that has my interest and the one I believe is the toughest group to advance from in this years Cup of Nations. [...]
The Group of Death…Is there more than one?
So, one of the most common discussions in any major International football tournament is one with a morbid distinction. I’m sure we would feel like we are missing out on something if we didn’t figure out exactly which group is the one that should get the honour of being the dreaded “Group of Death.” This [...]
The start of something special?
Welcome to the freshest face on WCB, Mali. Like my friend Chris over at the Cameroon site, I’m whoring myself out to the country of Mali and this blog for the next little bit. With a tournament as great as the African Cup of Nations, and a team like the Eagles of Mali, it would [...]
