He says the success of the national teams will promote Liberian football and thus ensure that many Liberian players are giving the opportunity to show their talents in Europe.

"I know that Brazilians are not highly rated because of their clubs but because of the performance of the Brazilian national team," he said.

Liberian officials must make sure that the Lone Star measure up to other country's and then we will see that a lot of attention will be focused on Liberia, he noted.

With this attention, the AIK midfield dynamo said, agents and other football people will turn to Liberia and "pretty soon you will see that the number of Liberians playing in European and other foreign leagues will increased."

Dulee said if a lot of Liberians play as professionals it will firstly help them to lead better lives and make them to promote the lives of others at home.

"When players can have good contracts they can use their money to open opportunities for others back home.

"Professional players can start businesses in Liberia which will help the economy, for example by giving jobs to people. This can also help in the process of reconciliation and peace.

"When people are busy working and providing for their children and families they will not have the time to exhibit unsocial and unpatriotic behavior," he said.

The midfielder wants the Liberian government to consider football as a source of revenue.

"Other countries like Brazil, Italy, Sweden,etc  are not just spending money on football and expecting nothing. They get a lot of money from the game. So a poor country like Liberia can benefit from this too. With investment and good planning, football can suport itself. 

 "I know people will not have any problem if money from football is also use to build schools, hospitals, libraries,  roads, etc and provide a better living condition for the Liberian people," he concluded.
