LILE ARE FRENCH CHAMPIONS
LILLE ARE FRENCH CHAMPIONS HURRAY
The so called new league champions cannot win a single game without been awarded a penalty?Anyway,good win for my darling club Hearts Of Oak.Once again Douglas Nkrumah has done it again,if players like Clottey,Nathaniel Asamoah etc are been invited to the national then he must also be invited cuz has been the most enterprising player on the local scene this season despite Hearts Of Oak’s poor run of form.An attacking midfield has scored 9 goals this season most of them from open play,even the so called leading goal scorer is leading the goal king chart with just 13 goals.
I agree with you……….the coach should have used this home match to test some players to give them the experience and expose them to competitive football
