TweetCameroon goalkeeper Alan Tshoumi Tiko raised many eyebrows with his very bizarre means of releasing the ball upfield. Blink and you will miss it! Don't really know what to make of it all. I suppose Tiko likes to ensure that entertainment remains central to the beautiful game; but really though..

Kos gets a new French speaking mate, hopefully

The biggest news of the day is of course the one that surrounds Yann M'Vila and his proposed move to Arsenal. First sighting of that piece of news on my timeline was yesterday from @YouAreMyArsenal and seemed to have been confirmed by respected French journalist Julien Laurens today.

Lionel Messi has made an exciting transfer move to French outfit Angers but it's a Cameroon under 17 international rather than his Barcelona superstar namesake. OTP is doubtful that it's his real name, but it's certainly the name that the 16-year-old has registered under at the Toulouse-based side.

Was Lionel Messi so prodigious at the age of 7 a French-Cameroonian family knew to name their son after him? Probably.

Much like Michel Platini both heads UEFA and plays in the attack for Dinamo Bucharest world's greatest multitasker, him Lionel Messi (Nyamsi) has been offered a contract for Angers in Ligue 2.

TweetBolton Wanderers football club have confirmed that Fabrice Muamba is 'critically ill' after collapsing on the pitch during Bolton's FA Cup clash with Tottenham.

The Loic Remy rumours are gathering momentum and while other players such as Olivier Giroud are also being connected with Spurs, it seems that the Marseille centre forward is the focus of media attention for now at least.

Some reports are also suggesting that Tottenham could be in for a double swoop with Remy's team mate Stephane MBia arriving as part of the deal.

So Newcastle's new signing Papiss Demba Cisse and fellow Senegalese team mate Demba Ba netted goals for the Magpies in their 2-1 home win over Aston Villa yesterday. However, whats funny is that the same two players could not do the same for Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations.

And this is interesting because African players have a tendency to perform well for their clubs, but when it comes to their national sides, it is a different story.

Tunisia The team to beat at Africa Cup of Nations 2012? is a post from: Just Football

My latest African football column for FourFourTwo looks at Tunisia and whether they are the team to beat at this year's AFCON:

For a team that could just as easily be sitting at home watching on TV, they made a pretty good start.

After August's rioting in London, Tottenham full-back Benoit Assou Ekotto was one of the most vocal and active footballing voices suggesting that the game could be doing more to deal with social problems in their local area. The Cameroon international took to the streets to see some of the worst affected areas for himself after [.

The U.S. Women's National Team has ended 2011 as the top-ranked team in the world according to the year-end FIFA rankings.
The USA remained at #1, just ahead of Germany and third-place Japan, which has achieved its highest ranking ever.
The Nadeshiko benefited from Brazil's inconsistent performances: two draws against Canada (7th, up 2), narrow wins over Mexico (21st, up 1) and Costa Rica (41st, up 3) and a defeat by Denmark (12th, up 2) not only leave Brazil with a loss of 28 points and in 4th place, but see the Brazilians slip out of the top-3 for the first time since June of 2008.

Luis Suarez yesterday escaped what could be a hefty ban after the FA delayed its decision on his race-row case, but one other high-profile striker was not so lucky.About six hours after Suarez's case was adjourned for the day, the Cameroon FA banned skipper Samuel Eto'o for 15 games for allegedly playing a part in persuading his team mates not to travel to Algeria for a friendly last month.

Cameroon's most decorated player and captain, Samuel Eto'o has 10 days to appeal his International 15 game ban handed down to the striker after he incited player's to go on strike last month which prompted Cameroon's friendly with Algeria to be postponed.

The strike followed a row over bonuses after a tournament in Morocco in November.

In the spirit of the 125 anniversary celebrations, and in a follow up to Darren's recent blog about Arsenal's history, I now ask the question of whether the current team is the most multicultural team in history. I wasn't the first one to notice it, but we've recently used a couple of different lineups where every player hailed from a different country.

More from PUMA's African football 2012 kit launch now on Just Football, with a look at the new Côte d'Ivoire home kit. Undoubtedly one of the favourites for the African Cup of Nations 2012 in a few months time considering the absence of other big names such as Nigeria, Cameroon and Egypt, Côte d'Ivoire will be hoping this will be the kit that sees the Elephants finally cement their as yet unsecured position as one of Africa's best international sides of the last decade.

After working their way through Malaysia and Thailand, Chelsea touched down in Hong Kong yesterday to visit a soccer clinic, where a slightly perplexed-looking 'David Cameroon' was presented with a traditional birthday bun despite his birthday not being for another two weeks.

Film Review by Eric Beard

Creating an appropriate balance between educating a viewer and watchability is one of the most difficult tasks for anyone putting together a documentary, but the means in which the tragic stories portrayed in Soka Afrika were managed kept true to an equilibrium of fine filmmaking.

You just know JT loves watching Lampsy stir softly in his sleep.

Come fly with me Chelsea's players passed the time on their flight from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok with a spot of TV work. Salomon Kalou took over as cameraman for Chelsea TV. For some reason best known to himself, Kalou brands himself as "David Cameroon" during his interview with Fernando Torres. The presumably accidental mispronunciation [.
