After a pleasantly surprising 1-0 victory over Cameroon back in March, It’s finally time for Togo to get back on the field for another crucial game.

Well, that’s exactly the position Les Eperviers find themselves in after a well-fought 1-0 ... [read]

Refocusing after Zambia 1, Togo 0

By: Brad | September 12th, 2008 | 1 Comment »

After all the controversy and speculation that surrounded the build-up to this game, I would be lying if I said I expected an outcome different from a 1-0 defeat. After the rumoured plane-crashes, the star player staying home and the recent exit of the manager, I knew it would take some sort of miracle for Togo to pull out a ... [read]
