Indomitable Fifa Di Frenchman

MAMA AFRICA IS RISING!
✍🏿This February 22nd, Senegal will officially open their new 50000-capacity Diamniadio Stadium which has been nicknamed "the African Allianz Arena" (in reference to Bayern Munich's stadium). The multipurpose Diamniadio Stadium costs 141, 936, 585.00 Euros and will boast the same quality of hybrid turf as that of Munich's Allianz Arena. The Diamniadio Stadium is set to host the 2026 Youth Olympic Games. It has a technology that permits its front seats to be withdrawn when the athletic track is to be used. At night the edifice can shine in various colours. It is hoped that the ground, built by Turkish company Summa, will be a reference for African football. For the inauguration, President Macky Sall is expecting some African Heads of States , as well as football legends across the continent.

The story of Andres Escobar and the reason why player bashing must have limits.
~Andres Escobar is summarily remembered for being the Colombian player who was shot dead after scoring an own-goal in the 1994 World Cup. To wrap our heads around the stakes of the "deadly" own-goal, we must understand the bad blood that existed between the Colombian masses and the US prior to the tournament.

Stakes:
~ The 1980s saw the rise of billionaire drug lord, Pablo Escobar (different person to Andres Escobar the footballer). Pablo's multi-billion dollar cartel made him one of the most powerful men in the world. He was later arrested following a crackdown on his international operations led by the US. Pablo Escobar was detained in his hometown prison in Medellin which he transformed into a private estate; that was his condition to stop his drug activities. However, this did not go down well with security forces as Pablo's popularity only grew with frequent high profile visits. In an attempt to stop the trend, plans were made for Pablo to be moved to a stricter environment. In a desperate attempt to escape, the drug lord was gunned down to death.

~Pablo meant everything to the Colombian people. "The boss was dead so everyone became their own boss. Pablo had prohibited kidnappings. He ran the underworld with complete order. Anything illegal, you asked for Pablo's permission," Jaime Gavira, his cousin, explained in "The Two Escobars". Crime soared to new heights.

~FIFA World Cup USA 1994. On the back of Pablo's death came the 1994 World Cup hosted by the US, a country that had masterminded the arrest of Pablo. Colombia were going to play in enemy territory. More to that, Colombia were drawn in the same group as the US. The Colombian team came into the competition on the back of a 26-match unbeaten run during which they thrashed Argentina 5-0. The Colombians were among the favourites. This sat well with the masses who nursed illusions of lifting the trophy in the enemy's backyad

”In 1991, Pablo Escobar invited me to play football with him in prison. We played a match and everyone had fun. Later, we partied with the most beautiful girls I have ever seen in my life. All of this in a prison. I couldn't believe it.”

I was so sad that Jerry Quy aka our famous & loyal mascot Gunnersaurus and integral part of our club was being made redundant after 27 years. As such, I’m offering to reimburse Arsenal with the full salary of our big green guy as long as I will be an Arsenal player so Jerry can continue his job that he loves so much. ❤️🙏🏼
