He's going to pass Pele as their leading ever scorer. Had a look at some of their records, they're obviously not one for sentiment, Robinho 99 caps, Ronaldo 98, Ronaldinho 97...

The Dembele at Celtic could also be another one... What amuses me though is they've still called up Gignac. Does Deschamps want a civil partnership with him or something.

BOF Posted October 3, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 3, 2016 It seems that Rigobert Song has had a 'cerebral attack' and is unconscious in a Cameroon hospital. I assume 'cerebral attack' is another way of saying a stroke but am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Sad to hear, hope he pulls through. Had a lot of fondness for those 90s teams Cameroon and Nigeria had...so much personality and talent from likes of Okocha, Finidi George, Taribo West, Song, Mboma etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/oct/05/fifa-48-teams-world-cup-gianni-infantino-sepp-blatter Quote But it is so very Fifa, and so very in keeping with the gigantism that infects modern football (see also Euro 2016, Fifa’s endless spin-off tournaments, Uefa’s Champions League mission creep) that, instead of ditching the idea and sticking with 32, Infantino has instead proposed expanding to 48 teams. Not only that but in proposing 32 teams play off to enter the group stages he gives rise to the ludicrous prospect of 16 sides flying in from around the globe to play a solitary match before heading home again. Each of those sides would have to budget and plan for a potential stay of several weeks, bringing all their players to the host country for a pre-tournament training camp with all the attendant hype, before turning around and heading home after one game. 48 team world cup? FFS.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
