Even though he just turned 26, Sissoko already looks back on a long but inconsistent career after making his debut in European professional football with CF Valencia in May 2004. It is part of his way, that there is always a big leak between the estimations of his performances. Some consider him as too slow in actions for playing with the top clubs in the top leagues; others say that his abili- ties are incomparable. That's maybe the reason, why he has always been with one of the big clubs, but has never been a full member of the starting eleven, always shuttling been bench and field. After two semi-successful seasons with Valencia (9/0) he went on to the English Premier League to join Liverpool FC. In 2 1/2 years Sissoko made 51 appearances, scoring one single goal and left Anfield road for Italy at the beginning of 2008. Although he got more and more playtime with Juventus (71/3) the defensive midfielder is always part of rumours that he is going to move on to one of the two big leagues, he never played before: To Germany, where former champion VfL Wolfsburg is said to be interested, but currently facing relegation. Or to France, where Sissoko was born and whose citizen- ship he holds.
Canadians Prepare to Host 2015 Women’s Soccer World Cup By Anthony Karim Kamara Jr.
It is the dream of every nation to host a premier world sporting event. For the 2015 Women’s Soc- cer World Cup, Canada’s bid to host the event became a success when the lone competitor, Zimbabwe withdrew from the competition.
As Canada prepares to host the 2015 women’s soccer tournament in addition to the 2014 women’s under-20 as recently announced by Sepp Blatter, president of FIFA’s world soccer governing body in Switzerland, it is clear a major
milestone has again been achieved by Canada and her soccer loving fans.
Congratulations Canada! African Sports Monthly looks forward to covering this event for our many fans around the world.
