Win is a Must!

July 1, 2004
LIBERIA'S LONE STAR began the campaign for the
2006 World Cup and African Cup qualifiers with a surprise 1-0
pinning of Mali's Les Aigles. In spite of the enthusiasm which
characterized that victory, Lone Star put up a dismal performance
two weeks later in Brazzaville losing 3-0 to the Red Devils of
Congo. The defeat dropped Liberia to the fifth place in the six-team
grouping. Liberia is drawn in Group I alongside Senegal, Togo, Mali,
Congo and Zambia.
AS SPORTS IS a worldwide unifier, thousands of
Liberians no matter their ethnic, cultural, religious and factional
background, will throng the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in
support of the national soccer flag-bearers. The fans will
undoubtedly turn out not only to see the two teams play but to also
wholeheartedly cheer the nations pride and joy, Lone Star.
IN ALL FAIRNESS, a win is a must come Sunday for Lone
Star. Lest sports authorities and the technical staff forget,
Liberia must win all of her home games to be sure of a place in the
finals of the African Cup of Nations slated for Cairo, Egypt.
According to the regulations of the qualifiers, the top three teams
in each will cruise through to the finals, while the top team
automatically qualifies for the finals of the World Cup dubbed
"Germany 2006."
A WIN FOR Liberia this Sunday will take her into
the top three of the group. Apart, it will also raise the Lone
Star's spirit for her pending games against the likes of Senegal and
Zambia to end the first round of the contest.
AS A MEANS of ensuring that Liberia wins come Sunday,
we want to call on the Liberia Football Association, the Ministry of
Youth and Sports and the Lone Star Mobilization Committee to pull
the necessary strings for such a dream to become a reality. This
call is necessary as there have been recent reports that the
National Transitional Government of Liberia has been averse in
making available the needed resources to bring in several of the
nation's leading overseas-based players.
