Adebayor speaks up…but are the right people listening?

By: Brad | September 19th, 2008 | 2 Comments »

After the recent drama in the Togo camp with Emmanuel Adebayor refusing to fly with the team to Zambia for a World Cup/African Cup of Nations qualifier, I knew what we needed was to hear directly from Emmanuel about the situation. Well, Captain Togo did speak his mind, and while he didn’t directly address the fear of flying issue, he had some important things to say. Read the rest of this entry »

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]

Why Emmanuel, why???

By: Brad | September 9th, 2008 | 3 Comments »

If there ever was a true love-hate relationship between two parties, I have no doubt that Emmanuel Adebayor would be one half of that relationship. Once again, Adebayor is actively trying to cement his reputation as a cray-baby primadonna. Don’t get me wrong, I love Adebayor, but it’s really a dysfunctional family ... [read]

Togo Turmoil

By: Brad | September 8th, 2008 | 2 Comments »

If you haven’t kept up with what is going on in Togo football, things are unfortunately much the same as always. We have a corrupt federation that can’t come together and get along with itself which has for all intents and purposes, put the Togo football team in spin cycle once again.
The ... [read]

Togo is finally being friendly

By: Brad | March 19th, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I have often been very frustrated with the Togolese FA for a few reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they seem to line-up very few international friendlies. Even before major tournaments, ie. THE WORLD CUP, Togo uses a match against Liechtenstein as a warm-up??? And other times, it just seems ... [read]

Champions League Update

By: Brad | February 19th, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Oh wait, were you expecting a post about the UEFA Champions League? Sorry, that already gets enough coverage in the media. What about the African Champions League? It’s true, they have one of those too, it’s not just the Europeans that get to have Champions League fun. Although, good luck ever catching a CAF ... [read]

Togo is taking over England

By: Brad | February 15th, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. The tiny country of Togo has only a couple players in top European leagues, with Arsenals leading scorer Emmanuel Adebayor being of course the most noteworthy. But Manny has company in England…kind of. Togo midfielder Moustapha Salifou (pictured) recently signed a contract extension with Aston Villa. ... [read]

Manny strikes again

By: Brad | January 26th, 2008 | No Comments »

I keep trying to let the Togo blog be dormant for a while so I can focus solely on the African Cup of Nations, but freaking Emmanuel Adebayor won’t stop making news. From head-butting teammates to scoring goals, the Togo international definitely has a nose for the spotlight. It’s almost as if he doesn’t want us to forget about ... [read]

Gunners Feud

By: Brad | January 25th, 2008 | No Comments »

I thought I’d take a brief minute away from my duties over at the Mali blog to take a quick peek at a story involving the god of Togolese football, Emmanuel Adebayor. Or as he’s lovingly referred to in the article I’m talking about, “Manny”.

During a recent drubbing at the hand of Tottenham, Adebayor ... [read]

400×400_emmanueladebayornew.jpg
Yesterday Emmanuel Adebayor was announced as the 2007 BBC African Footballer of the year. A deserving award for the Togo star that is in the middle of a very impressive season with Arsenal in which he has notched 13 goals. And don’t forget, he’s only 23! Despite a disappointing ACN qualifying campaign, Adebayor is ... [read]
