No, no, please don't thank me. I know you've all been grateful for the fact that I heroically
resisted the urge to post every day in order to tactfully avoid you saturating, dear readers of
this blog.
To be honest there wasn't much to be said anyway, as apart from a few high profile transfers the
French transfer market was as flat as ever.
Just a quick recap of what's been going on this week (besides the games, of course).
Lyon's newest player, Hamdan Al Kamali, arrived a few days ago from the United
Arab Emirates. He's the first ever player from the UAE to play in a top league. However, he'll be
starting in the reserves.
Asamoah Gyan's weekend was full of surprises for Ghanian soccer fans. The striker wrote a letter
to the country's football association (FA) informing the national team's leadership that he would
be retiring "indefinitely" from international play.
The 26-year-old has claimed that he has not fully recovered psychologically from missing a
crucial penalty in the 120th minute of Ghana's loss to Uruguay in the 2010 World Cup
Quarterfinals.

Captain John Mensah puts Ghana ahead through his third international goal. Saber Khelifa
equalized after beating Samuel Inkoom to a lofted ball. The match headed to extra time and in the
110th minute, Abedi Pele's son, Andre Ayew scored the winner after Tunisia's goalie, Aymen
Mathlouthi coughed up Inkoom's cross right into his path.

Mali made it to the semifinal of the Africa Cup of Nations after defeating the co-hosts Gabon on
penalty kicks. Gabon played a good match with massive home support that included Gabon's long-time
president Omar Bongo. It was an intense match where Gabon took the lead early in the second half by
Eric Mouloungui.

Yesterday's Group D action between Ghana and Botswana and Guinea and Mali capped the end of the
first round of fixtures in the Orange African Cup of Nations. Both Ghana and Mali scooped points
each after winning their matches by slender 1-0 margins.
It is quickly emerging that no team can be underestimated.
Ghana made a jittery start to their ACN campaign overcoming a plucky Botswana through John
Mensah's 25th minute goal. The Black Stars then had to endure without Mensah who was sent off in
the 66th minute for his foul on Jerome Ramatlhakwane.
Goran Stevanovic's squad were at full strength minus Kevin Prince Boateng with World Cup
standouts Asamoah Gyan, Andrew Ayew, and Sulley Muntari present.

As suggested last night on RoM, Danny Welbeck has been called up to the England squad.
Welbeck could represent Ghana if he wanted because of his parent's nationality, but so far, as
represented England at U-16, U-17, U-18 (2 goals in 2 games), U-19 (2 goals in 8 games) and U-21
level (3 goals in 10 games).
Sunderland have been given permission to speak to Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari. The
Ghanaian has been a long time target of Steve Bruce, and he would add some much needed creativity
to Sunderland's midfield.
The talks could lead to Muntari joining the Black Cats on loan for the rest of the season, with
a potential permanent move in the pipeline.
One of the favorites to win this year's Africa Cup of Nations, Ghana opened its tournament with
a narrow victory over Botswana that can best be described as a roller coaster for John Mensah.
The Ghana captain endured highs and lows in Ghana's Group D opener, scoring the only goal before
receiving a red card and then picking up a hamstring injury.
Without a "Group of Death," and without 5 of the top 8 ranked African countries (Egypt, Algeria,
Nigeria, Cameroon and South Africa all failed to qualify), the opening stages of the African Cup of
Nations lacks a bit in the tasty fixtures department. For perspective, Tunisia, the participating
country with the fourth-highest FIFA ranking is still behind tiny Cape Verde Islands (who also did
not qualify).
Ivory Coast are the heavy favourites going into the African Cup of Nations in 2012 in Gabon and
Equatorial Guinea next year.
The Elephants will be able to call upon on the service of a number of high profile European players
such as the Toure brothers, Salomon Kalou, Gervinho and Didier Drogba.
Dirk Kuyt and Luis Suarez fired Liverpool to victory at Sunderland as the Reds made amends for
their beachball disaster on Wearside last season.
Kuyt set the visitors on their way with 33 minutes gone when he converted a hotly-disputed penalty,
and Suarez completed the job with 13 minutes remaining.
Jamie Carragher has admitted that Liverpool were fortunate to be awarded a penalty at the Stadium
of Light as Kenny Dalglish's beat Sunderland 2-0.
Referee Kevin Friend controversially reversed his decision of a free-kick to a penalty after
talking with his linesman when Black Cats defender John Mensah fouled Jay Spearing.
Having successful loan players playing for a team always brought the club's wishes in securing a
permanent deal for those players by the end of season so they can start the summer in a much more
consistent fashion. This method is pretty much what also on Sunderland's management mind or at
least their manager, Steve Bruce's plan as the tactician is planning to secure some of the
temporary based players that they are having at the moment.
One year ago here in the Midatlantic United States, we had a rather unwelcome storm system come
through and dump a couple of feet of the white stuff on the ground. The same thing has happened
this year for much of England, and most of the matches scheduled for today were cancelled, as well
as the huge Chelsea/Manchester United fixture that was set for tomorrow.

The English Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Sunderland will be played at Stamford
Bridge on Sunday 14th November 2010, kick-off is set for 4:00 PM.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is happy to leave his contract talks until the time is right after
guiding the club to another Premier League victory.
The Reds took their tally under the Scot to 20 points from ten league games with a 2-0 win at
Sunderland which leaves them four points adrift of fifth-placed Tottenham.
Liverpool striker Luis Suárez is still "the most hated man in Ghana" after his deliberate handball
for Uruguay in last summer's World Cup quarter-final denied the African country victory, according
to Sunderland forward Asamoah Gyan.
Suarez will face two of his opponents from that controversial night in Johannesburg when Kenny
Dalglish's side travel to the Stadium of Light on Sunday, with Steve Bruce able to call on both
John Mensah and Gyan, the striker who became the ultimate victim of the Liverpool player's
gamesmanship.
Ivory Coast was the overwhelming favorite and had the big-name players. It's not like facing
those factors had stopped Zambia from maintaining its inspiring quest to be crowned king of Africa
before.
Almost 20 years after a plane crash in Libreville, Gabon, killed 25 Zambian national team
players and officials, Zambia came full circle and paid an incredible tribute to its 1993
predecessors in that city, stunning Ivory Coast 8-7 in a dramatic penalty shootout after 120
scoreless minutes to capture the African Cup of Nations for the first time in its history.
