The Powerhouses of Amputee Football - Liberia's "Lone Stars"
Used as a tool to help overcome the discrimination against amputees and the disabled, the
Amputee Football Championship is a tournament dedicated to appreciating the athleticism and skill
of those who often feel unwanted by their surrounding society and even struggle to survive, as
profiled by Chicago Tribune photographer Kuni Takahashi.

It has been a while since I posted anything but I just came across these highlights of the African
Nations Cup for amputees. Field players must have only one leg, goalkeepers only one arm. Liberia
defeated hosts Ghana in a shootout in the final to earn a place at the Amputee World Cup in Iran in
2012.
The Indonesian Football Association are saying that foreign players playing in the rebel Indonesia
Super League will not be permitted to play for their countries should they be called up. If they
carry through on this threat then players like Keith Kayamba (St Kitts), Zah Rahan (Liberia) and
Safee Sali (Malaysia pictured - red shirt) could well see their international careers in jeopardy.
La Eredivisie holandesa comienza a ver como un único equipo se distancia del resto de
perseguidores. Estamos acostumbrados en los últimos años a los mismos protagonistas: PSV, Ajax,
Feyenoord y Twente, pero también nos sorprende a veces el AZ Alkmaar que tras algunos años de
bajón parece que vuelve a la carga esta temporada liderando ahora una clasificación donde saca 6
puntos a su más próximo perseguidor, el Twente.
I was too slow as I was spending several days vacation in Turkey. I am back with few goals that got
my attention and I would like to share:
This could be the unselfish play of the season, any player dreams to score a wonderful goal after
long dribble, but the Uruguayan Diego Guastavino, who plays for SK Brann in Norway showed a great
example.

Edward (Etch) Andrajack is a friend to IMS. I've run several stories here about an organization
he volunteers with called People to People Sports Ambassadors which has allowed Etch and many
others to travel and coach in different counties around the world. Etch has made several trips to
Brazil to work with youth.
A message from former MLS player (Dallas) and great person Chris Gbandi:
I wanted to share this important message with all of you. As some of you know, I've been working on
an iPhone app for the past couple of months that will be coming to the app store any minute now.
Yes, there is a rainbow in the picture. Those things are pretty and happy, right? But there's also
a UN truck on the touchline and I can't figure that's a good thing because, let's be honest here,
the UN is only called in when things have gotten way too real.
But if the latest news out of Liberia is to believed, that truck might be there for the purpose of
keeping players from issuing beatdowns to reporters who portray them in less than flattering
lights.

Just look at that face. He could be 15-years-old for all we know with that smirk, and the same
holds true for Giovani Dos Santos. But regardless of appearances, defenders from all over the world
know that if there's a moment of hesitation or a lack of focus then Chicharito will pounce and kill
off the opposition.
Keeping up with events in football here in Indonesia ain't easy. Singapore perhaps is harder given
the lack of publicity the game gets there. But what about Liberia?
Persipura playmaker Zah Rahan has been recalled to the Liberian national team for their game
against Cape Verde on 26 March in African Nations Cup qualifier.
This news has been brewing for several weeks in Costa Rica, but the final decision is still quite a
shock. The Costa Rican league has expelled Barrio México from the top flight and heavily penalized
Herediano for failing to meet financial obligations to players and other creditors. Barrio México
is the name of the team that took the place of Liberia MÃa in the Primera División, who had gone
from a Costa Rican league title and appearance in the CONCACAF Champions League to a voluntary
demotion to the Segunda.
Las selecciones nacionales no exhiben publicidad pero sà llevan distintas historias
detrás. Entra a la tierra de las playeras exóticas y sorprendentes, un mundo que de verdad parece
mentira.

Hoy es sábado. Me levanto por la mañana, trato de prender la tele y veo las noticias. Son ya
las 10 de la mañana y el dÃa parece tranquilo, nada fuera de lo común.
Después de un desayuno de campeones (Pan con mantequilla y su respectiva leche) me dirijo al
closet en busca de lo básico para comenzar este dÃa.
