June 18, 2004 - Liberia goes into action Sunday in far away Port
Noire against Congo-Brazzaville Red Devils clinching to soaring
anticipations after that lone goal victory over a solid Malian side
on June 6.
The Congolese are keen of the damages that their Liberian opponents
might pose, and with their last 6-1 drubbing still lingering on
their minds, Sunday World Cup qualifiers clash has so much to offer.
Yet a well-groomed and formidable side, the Liberian team boosts
some quality legs whose contributions with that of the aging
generation could earn them another spoiler.
Coach Kromah must re-arrange his line-up that messed Mali in
Monrovia following reports that four essential and experience
players might not be available.
James Debbah, a long-time campaigner, according to reports, might
not fly into Port Noire where he sustained an excruciating ligament
three years.
Asian-exports Frank Seator and Fallah Johnson, the reports also
disclosed, will choose club over country this weekend.
Prince Daye would have been a virus in the Liberian attacker holding
to his familiarity with the Congolese defense, which he fearlessly
dented to score a 1-0 win when the teams last met.
But the Deportivo Badjoz striker didn’t only under perform against
the Malians, he also picked up an injury that might sideline him.
Nevertheless, the cards are being reshuffled with the inclusion of
US-based debutant Francis Doe and fasting-catching Dioh Williams who
established himself as the hub in Liberia win against Mali .
Even though there are doubts over Zizi Roberts and Dulee Johnson
comeback, which could have spoken volume for the Liberian team,
determined faces as Ben Teekloh, Tony Langford, Jimmy Dixon and
Alvin Kieh would be on hand for Sunday’s encounter.
Liberia ranks second behind Senegal that soaked Congo-Brazzaville
2-0 in Dakar a forth night ago.
And with a cliché – nothing good comes out of Liberia , this
unpredictable squad that always plays the spoiler could never be
ruled out even away from home soil.
Liberia probable line-up: Formation – 4 - 5 -1

Ben Teekloh,Tony Langford, Dioh Williams, Isaac Tondo, Alvin Kieh,
