well well.. did he want to be captain? ... i think playing and winning the game should supersede his problem with nagbe being captain.. anyway thanks and pls keep us posted

Liberia 0 Gambia 1 at the half

Final score
1-1 (oliver Makor scored for Liberia)

Team left Monrovia via Royal Air Moroc ..........they will be at camp in Morocco before heading to algeria for the next match.

Kevin -There was an "incident" at the team hotel involving kevin the night before the game.....as part of his punishment he was stripped of the captain ban and was removed from the starting line up. He didn't like the idea so he didn't play.

Excactly.................oh well-back to the drawing board!

Congrat.. to the boys. What is your comment on the line-up for the game against Gambia... Many on this end are saying the coach should have started with the international legs (Grandpa Doe)...ect.. and later the locals...but another school of thought, it was the right decision. By this mean...he will prepare a strong local the experience they require.

One thing we ought to congratulate the organizers for, is the crowd control. despite the over crowdedness of the field, the was a very good crowd control, unlike that of Akon's show.

i just heard some folks (about 7 or 8 were killed from stampede at the stadium again. is it true?

oh ok.. thanks for the correction but its still sad though

That is what happens when you do not have the following
1. Good Ticketing/Seating system
2. Crowd Management system

It is unfortunate- my prayers ....................

Kelvin Sebwe is quoted by the LFA official to have apologized after being left out of the team against The Gambia for indiscipline.
Yet, Mr. Williams declared that Sebwe, based in Greece, is now part of the Lone Star squad after apologizing and has assumed his duties as leader of the team but not as captain. This could mean that Murphy Nagbe will continue as captain against the Desert Foxes of Algeria this weekend.
Sebwe fell in trouble with the Lone Star technical staff when a female visited him at the Lone Star camp on the eve of the match.
Although Sebwe met the female visitor outside of the team’s camp, goalkeeper trainer Kasimu Sillah asked the veteran player to return to his room. But, the move later prompted exchange of words between the two, thus leading to Sebwe’s exclusion from the team.
