This Ghanaian man and Egyptian woman were making love when the woman cried out "Oh my God! I hear my Egyptian husband coming! You must get out of here fast! Grab your clothes and jump out the window!" The Ghanaian man hurriedly jumped out the window and fell into some bushes. As luck would have it, it started to rain. He sat there, wondering what he was going to do when a bunch of joggers happened to jog by. The man quickly jumped up and joined the joggers. As he was running along with the rest of the joggers, one asked him "Do you always run in the nude?" The man answered, while gasping for air, "Oh yes, it feels so free having the air blow over your skin while you are running." Then another runner asked, "Do you always run carrying your clothes on your arm?" The man answered breathlessly, "Oh yes, that way I can get dressed at the end of the run and get in my car to go home." Then another runner asked "Do you always wear a condom when you run?" "Well," he answered, "only when it's raining.

Kalaba, Sunzu & Sinkala pardoned by Zambian government
By Kennedy Gondwe BBC Sport, Lusaka

The Zambian government has pardoned Rainford Kalaba, Stoppila Sunzu and Nathan Sinkala, bringing to an end an ugly row which erupted after they missed an international friendly.

Zambia confiscated the trio's passports after they failed to travel from Zambia to Beijing for an international friendly against Brazil in China last week and immigration officials alleged they instead returned in secret to their club TP Mazembe in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

But on Wednesday, Kalaba and Sunzu had their documents returned to them, while Sinkala needs only to collect his from the immigration offices in Ndola.
Continue reading the main story

“I am very glad that everything has gone well... I just want to get back to work”

Rainford Kalaba

Zambia's home affairs minister Edgar Lungu, whose ministry overseas the department of immigration, told BBC Sport: "We have pardoned them.

"Our officers have been instructed to allow them to get back to their club and continue with their careers. There won't be any further questioning because the matter is closed.

"In future, we will engage their club and the players' managers in Zambia to avoid a recurrence of what happened."

While all three players insisted they had done nothing wrong, Zambia issued warrants for their arrest last week and on Friday the players were turned back at the border as they attempted to return to their club.

The trio then endured a four-hour long interrogation on Friday evening and the questioning continued for a similar amount of time on Monday before they were asked to return on Wednesday.

After Lungu's intervention on Tuesday, a relieved Kalaba told BBC Sport: "I am very glad that everything has gone well. I don't want to say much. I just want to get back to work."

He added that he did not want to discuss his future with the national team.

Sunzu was also reluctant to talk about his future with Zambia, saying only: "I am happy that we are free at last. I will think about my international career when I get back to Congo."

Derrick Mulenga, one of the two lawyers that represented the trio, said the immigration officials are satisfied the players never went back to Congo, hence the release of their passports.

TP Mazembe president Moise Katumbi paid tribute to the Zambian home affairs minister for intervening in the matter days after sports minister Chishimba Kambwili labelled the players unpatriotic.

"I am delighted this matter has come to and end and we look forward to welcoming the players," said Katumbi.

Because of their interrogation in Zambia, the three players last weekend missed TP Mazembe's 1-0 win in their Confederation Cup semi-final second leg against Stade Malien of Mali - a victory that saw them complete a 3-1 aggregate victory.

The Congo giants will now be pleased their trio will return for the two-legged final against CS Sfaxien next month.

Hello guys, please be patient, FIFA has procedures it has to follow. Game is scheduled in Cairo and Ghana has to apply for change of venue and give her reasons. Egypt has the right to challenge the arguments of Ghana for the change of venue. FIFA will then look at both arguments and then make a decision. We call that procedures and it has to be followed.
I am sure FIFA will not schedule this game in Cairo, just for the reason that most Ghana players play in European top teams and these teams will surely protest (if they are not already quietly protesting). Let the procedure run its cause bothers.

Light, I tell you what, I will get you a free ticket, a 4- star hotel accommodation and a $1,000 spending money. Will you travel to Cairo to watch this match? Dont think so, there goes a saying that its those that are in it that feel it. Have a thought for the players, the Ghanaian delegation and the few hundred fans that will actually be in the stadium on the day looking over their shoulders and wondering whether, a petrol bomb, or a baseball club is going to heat their head any minute. Can you imagine how that will feel? This venue for this game ought to be changed, every reasonable person will agree with that.

Thank you for an intelligent question. Games being played behind closed doors involve LOCAL teams (al ahly, Zamalek, etc.) because of the fear of a repeat of the Port Said Stadim, which was a continuation of the revolution. International games have been played, albeit outside of Cairo, but with supporters there. It is an inter0Egyptian struggling nothing more and we Africans with all our wars and ethnic fighting cannot speak.

fifa has to use this opportunity to let Egypt know that fifa does not want war in any part of the world by shifting the cairo match to another country. at least this will let Egyptians think twice in future before attacking each other. if fifa fails in this aspect and the unexpected happens to our players and fans in cairo, then they would have failed in their attempt to unite the whole globe. if any life is taken, then the president of fifa and his lieutenants should be dragged before the international criminal court for a trial.

I hope the request by FIFA is the first step on changing the game to a neutral place. No consummate smoothness from these sun niggers should be accepted. Walaman, stand strong and tall in this we are all behind you. Ghana is not going to Egypt period. The word security is not in the vocabulary of these sun niggers. They are telling their farinaceous liars to get our people killed. The dithering on not going to Egypt should NOT be taking lightly. FIFA questing should be swift with a change of a neutral ground for this ass whipping game. They think this ass whipping was a fluke. They don,t believe that Ghana had finally got the monkey off their back with Egypt.
Its a hard pill to swallow but hey just take it with plenty water and you will be fine. Egypt, will never beat Ghana in any soccer match again. They should ask the green eagles when the black stars vowed never to be beating by Nigeria green eagles. These Alantan people try to avoid any confrontation with the black stars. Egypt is in the same soup now.
