a écrit le 7 mai 2010 à 8h49 After Muntari's absence from Ghana's successful Nations Cup campaign for indiscipline and his disaster at Catania last month (sent off, having conceded a penalty within two minutes of coming on), surely - to steal Marcello Lippi's line about Daniele De Rossi - it's high time Muntari 'changed his computer chip', especially with Michael Essien's place in South Africa hanging in the balance.
Meanwhile, the love affair between Kenyans and Mariga has hit new heights. Not just the first Kenyan to contest the Champions League as mentioned here last month, Mariga has now ensured the East Africans' footballing pedigree - on the eve of their World Cup absence - will be on show at one of football's biggest events.
As excitement mounts across Africa about the looming World Cup, the European final should be the perfect curtain-raiser for the big one and affords Muntari and Mariga the chance to join the select group of Africans to have won the trophy - Bruce Grobbelaar, Abedi Pele, Rabah Madjer, Sammy Kuffuor, Kanu and Djimi Traore prominent amongst them.
