Dah!! Tanzania Imekumbwa na Haya Katika Soka... Tutafika Kweli....

Tanzania is down 12 places in the latest FIFA/ Coca-Cola World Ranking released in Zurich, Switzerland on Thursday. The country dropped 20 places in last month's ranking.

Tanzania is now in 139th position in the world from 127th it was in the previous ranking released on June 4.
The downfall may be the result of its poor performance in various international competitions, including the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN) and 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Tanzania's Taifa Stars lost 4-1 on aggregate to Uganda's Cranes in the twolegged CHAN qualifier and also lost 3-0 against Egypty's Pharaohs in the AFCON qualifier.

Tanzania is not the only member of CECAFA to have dropped in the rankings as neighbouring Uganda has dropped two places and is now settled in 73rd position.

Other CECAFA members Rwanda and Sudan have risen from their previous positions and are ranked 78th and 90th respectively, while Kenya has gone up seven places to 116th despite being eliminated by Ethiopia in the CHAN qualifiers.

These are Said to Be the Best Goalkeepers in the World, Ranking from 1-25

25. Stephane Ruffier, Saint-Etienne Had Stephane Ruffier not sustained a groin injury in 2011, Monaco might never have been relegated to Ligue 2. But he did, and they were, and that summer the then-24-year-old goalkeeper joined Saint-Etienne, rebuffing Manchester City in the progress. This season he played all 38 Ligue 1 matches for Les Verts for a second season in succession, conceding just 32 goals as his side finished a surprising fifth in the standings and qualified for the Europa League. 24. Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...

The Happy Di Matteo..!

Roberto Di Matteo watched his attacking stars inspire a 5-4 extra-time victory over Manchester United and he preferred to savour a second night of high-scoring league cup thrills rather than focus on "the other stuff" in football. The Chelsea manager did not need to spell out what he meant, in the wake of the league fixture against United on Sunday, when his team's controversial 3-2 home defeat was followed by the allegation that the referee Mark Clattenburg had racially abused Mikel John Obi. There had also been spite in the stands. Di Matteo focused on the flair and spirit that his team had shown here, when they came from behind three times to force the extra period, with the substitute Eden Hazard scoring from the penalty spot with the very last kick of normal time. Hazard's quick feet and sumptuous reverse pass created what proved to be the decisive fifth goal late in extra-time for Ramires. "Over the last two days we have seen...

"Respect Robin Van Persie." Says Arsene Wenger

Via HITC Sport Arsene Wenger has called on Arsenal fans to respect Robin van Persie tomorrow when they take on Manchester United. When Arsenal take on Manchester United tomorrow there will inevitably be huge focus on former Gunners captain Robin van Persie. The striker spent almost a decade at Arsenal before leaving this summer, after a drawn out saga over his future which took until August to resolve. Arsenal fans are left feeling hugely embittered towards their former hero, and the thought of seeing him in a United shirt will stir emotions of anger and sickness. Manager Arsene Wenger has urged supporters to respect the striker, who has scored 11 times in 15 games for his new side. He said: "I hope a respectful [reception] because he played for us for eight years, he's done well, very well for us, and you want him to be respected." That may be true, he did do well for Arsenal, very well in fact last season, but that only ma...
