Kenzo's trick is the oldest in the book. He will never be a music legend, so he has used a legend's name to draw attention to himself. His stupid comparison was deliberate.Don't fall for it. Talk about Arsenal, Man U and Liverpool. Let the legend rest in peace.
#UgFootballersToday
Bobosi Byaruhanga. Midfield dynamite. Level headed. Calm assuredness. Educated football. Dribbler, passer,scorer.Awesome technical skills. Acrobatic.Thunderous shot.Goals for the museum.Intelligent. Impact player. Match winner. Plays mature football. My no.1
#UgDreamFootballers
David Obua (Cranes). Hollywood footballer.Eccentric,flamboyant,elegant,classy.Had a wicked left foot that never wasted touches,dribbles or shots.Left winger who drifted inside with devastating impact inside and outside the box. Big game player. Match winner.
#UgFootballMemories
Farouk Miya. By now,he should be breaking the internet but he is in oblivion instead. It's because of him that I am convinced something is fundamentally wrong with Ugandan football. What explains his failure? The stage was perfect for him. Why? Why? Why?
#ArsenalChamps
Just give them the damn title. They are the only deserving team this season. Their wins are deserved,they don't just win, they win well. They are a real team that plays together, for each other and to win. Champions written all over them. Just give me Saka.
#UgBestFootballCoaches
Mike'Ray'Mutebi.The best if not greatest. Love or hate him,you can't take away his genius.Unconventional. A winner.A puritan.Hates mediocrity. Says it as it is.More talent than books.Teaches sexy football.The best talent scout.Too much football in that head
#UgDreamFootballers
Dennis Onyango (Cranes). He is world class. Impregnable.For me, the greatest ever. Goal keeping is his second nature. Imposing, intimidating, dominant. Spectacular. His agility and reflexes make him unbeatable. Shot stopper. Nerves of steel. Mr safe hands.
#UgDreamFootballers
Ibra Sekajja (KCC). One word footballer - Class. Oozed class. His walk, his touch, his control, his distribution, his dribble, his tackle, his header, his game reading - if it wasn't classy, he didn't do it. A generational footballer. Insane talent. abnormal
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Liverpool.
Bakuba. Bakuba nnyo. Bakuba. No greater feeling in the world than humiliating our greatest enemy Manchester United Football Club. This is sexy. Nirvana. Vintage. The season can end now. I told you it would be an over....ndowoza byebyo
@LFC
I feel for Kitara FC. Shocking decision by the linesman to cancel a legitimate goal. I commend Kitara players for the professionalism they exhibited to get on with the play even when clearly they were robbed of an equaliser.
#UgDreamFootballers
.
Sam Ssimbwa (KCC). Ridiculous talent - As good at No.5 as he was at No.7,8 and 10. Very rare. The entertainment master. Dribbling was his greatest attribute. Fleet feet,stylish. Full of impudence. He laughed at his victims. A lot of football intelligence.
#UgFootballMemories
Mike Mutebi. Genius footballer. Genius coach. Sweeper, center forward, attacking midfielder - what did you want? Probably the most talented football man in Ug. Speed, technique,brain,goals. Class. A bullet on his knee cut short his career. What a miss for Ug!
#TravisMutyabaCHAN2022
If only they had listened to me and given this No.10 more playing time at the tournament? I posted twice here before the tournament that HE IS the player and the future but what do I know? Thank God the whole nation has seen that Cranes miss his kind.Sad.
#FIFAWorldCup
Frenkie de Jong; the most over rated young midfielder in Europe. When you hear about the scramble for his signature, you think he is the new Wesley Sneider. What he really is - a Declan Rice. Very basic. What is his strength? Barca indeed lost their soul. De Jong?
Travis Mutyaba. Why does
@SCVillaJogoo
mismanage this boy? He is not a starter? How can that be! He comes on vs
@KCCAFC
and suddenly he lights up Villa. He kept me on the edge throughout. Why doesn't he play closer to goal? Boy is incredible technically. So good. What a waste!
#UgFootballersToday
Alan Okello.Sweet left.Most naturally talented. A wow player! His game is about intelligence, instinct, audacity. Great vision.A dribbler.Technical player. Clever movement, scorer.Match winner. Absolute ball player. He needs love. Most exciting to watch.A gem
Truth or fiction? I don't get this story. This gentleman is trending with this facility as seen in it's current state. It's 5 years people and this is called progress. Truth is that this is what Nakivubo looks like now. Fiction is when we are told 'world class' is on it's way.
#UgDreamFootballers
Jackson Mayanja (KCC). CLASS. The quintessential elite footballer. The best by far after Phillip Omondi (RIP). Attacking midfielder cum striker. Best no.8, best no.10 and best no.9 (before he retired) Glorious. Breathtaking. Best of the best. The GOAT.
Travis!! I don't want to say that 'I told you so' but those who attacked me last week for questioning why Mutyaba doesn't start Villa games - have you got your answer today? Man of the match (MOTM) vs Vipers to give the

#UgDreamFootballers
Magid Musisi (Villa). Fire spitting center forward. For me, his type comes once in a century. 35 goals per season in all competitions for 5 years before turning pro.What would you wish for a striker to have to classify him as elite? Magid had it all +bonus. He
#UgDreamFootballers
Andrew 'Fimbo' Mukasa. A striker who scores 45 league goals in a single season MUST be on any dream list. Goal poacher supreme. Plus his technique, shooting skills, ball control and confidence. You couldn't teach or coach him anything. It was instinct.
#England
Fake England. Why don't they really trust this boy? What must he do first - become Gareth Southgate's shamba boy? It's annoying how England keeps ignoring the best young striking talent they've got. Really annoying
#ArsenalChamps
You know they are champions when no matter who they bring in the team, no matter who starts or not, the results and performance remain the same. Best game of season so far for me. For Arsenal, revenge complete with a defining statement - best team in the land
#ManUOYEE
The offside goal that never was. Who cares? 2 losses in 4 days for City. Out of the Carling cup and just 2 points above United now in the league at half way stage - United has just blown the championship wide open. And they are looking very very good.
#UgFootballMemories
Mujib Kasule. The boss. On and off the field - the boss. Born to captain. A text book center forward who only needed service to convert. Direct, incisive. He dominated the box. Heading and shooting prowess. Outstanding game intelligence.Imposing. Clinical.
#UgFootballMemories
Andrew Mukasa.The most natural finisher to ever step on the field in Uganda. The best ball controller I ever saw. Killed crosses and passes like a magnet. He had a computer in his head as he never thought twice about anything he did. Godly technique.Awesome.

Geoffrey Massa. The bomber who ran faster than a bullet. Not prolific but scored important goals. Fans favourite but his first touch,ball control and technical skills were short. Somehow he made the Cranes no.9 position his own - mystery.Another Lucky boy.
The difference with Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane (3+ CL winners) is that Pep Guardiola leaves his foot prints in the sand - his teams do it with flamboyance. That distinct beautiful style is his signature. That's why he is the greatest club manager ever.
God help my boy fulfill his football dream. Go Alden Nsubuga - you have taken the first step, now you can cover any number of miles you want. It all starts with a dream. I wanted to be a footballer but I had no opportunities. You have..go son.

last night. He wasn't just good, he was outstanding! At this top level, in games as big and hugely significant as this, it requires max intelligence and wisdom. This is what Ssali demonstrated throughout.

Farouk Miya. Save your bullets, don't kill me for this. There's something about Miya's ddiba I feel is not natural. Waliwo ekibulamu. Technical skills? Yes.Exciting? Yes.Lovable? Yes. Why do I feel he grew up working on his skills not born with them?
So Fred Mugerwa - She Cranes coach has not been paid for 2 years?? Taking Uganda to 5th in the world - the highest ever ranking for a Ugandan sports team - is nothing? Then who is behind their travel, dress, accommodation, registration etc? This country is sick to bones
The
@AllanOkello8
conundrum. He is only 23 but three years ago, he was the best young talent, indeed most dominant play maker in the country. Off to Algeria's Paradou AC but back after 3 years as a forgotten talent. He couldn't handle the rigours of professional football. Sad.
I said Arsenal will win the Premiership this season and I haven't changed my mind a single bit. However, pay close attention to Man United. The Red Devils are going to push this to the wire. They have really started to look like the United of old. The character in the DNA
Anfield and daddy. Magic moments like these are immeasurable. They are eternal. Cherish them. Daughters are special especially when it's Anfield Nsubuga.
Brighton 3-0 Liverpool
For the sake of my heart, I need to take leave from Liverpool games. I just need to gather enough courage to do so because I have no alternative outlet. So help me God.

Jackson Nunda.This boy has more talent in his blinding left foot than most players in their whole bodies. Poetic in motion, touch of silk, passing maestro, dribbling machine, bags of tricks. It's a scandal his career refused to take off. SCANDAL.
#UgFootballMemories
Sadam Juma. Class! If I were his father, I would whip him to pulp. Tailor made for the Cranes captaincy but he never got there, damn! What a talent. The modern day Livingstone Mbabazi. He is complete. COMPLETE. Class oozes all over his every touch. But why???
Did you know?
Beginning term 1 this year, Kenya government has banned primary schools - both public and private - from having any type of lessons or learning before 8:00am and NOT after 3:45pm. Let children be children. In Uganda learners begin at 4:00am till 9:00pm. Mbu future
Gerrard Pique retires finally. Between him and Sergio Ramos for me, is Spain's greatest ever defender. His loyalty to Barca, consistency have been remarkable. I hated his passion for Barca because am Real Madrid but I respected him as a classy defender. Good riddance.
Arsenal's teamwork is just so impressive. They don't have a single player the team looks to - they instead look to each other bith offensively and defensively. They don't play with pressure, they enjoy themselves. Long may their good days continue.
There's no bad experience in football. The lesson - to cover 1000 miles, you have to cover the first mile. A child must fall many times before it begins to walk. Welcome to the CAF champions league Vipers. No time to blame, it's time to learn. Pick up the lessons.
#UgFootballMemories
Khalid Aucho. Class. I rate him very highly but he doesn't realise how good he is.The most gifted left holding midfielder since Moses Ndaula. He has only fulfilled 50% of what is in that head and left foot of his. He has everything. Everything. He needs help.
This is too much pain. I understand losing to Man U & Arsenal. I don't understand losing to Forest and Leeds - bottom placed teams. The world cup break should start now.I need an escape or I will run mad.
#UgFootballMemories
Joseph Kabagambe. He was there, and then he wasn't. A right winger whose best attributes were crossing, dribbling and speed. Never elaborate. Never exaggerated anything . He did the basics right. The perfect winger. A flash in a pan though. Again, why?
Sebastien Desabre : DR Congo qualify for the
@TotalAFCON2023
quarter finals without winning or losing a single game. The bravery of the team, the boldness, the individual flair and overall organisation is Desabre's signature. Uganda's loss was Congo's gain.
Umar Lutalo. No 10. Not much is being said about this left footed wonder but start to pay attention. The day he starts believing that he is a star we are finished. He is more direct that Travis. Reminds me of Mike Serumaga.
@SCVillaJogoo
give him more attention. He is a gem.
Now am really getting worried with what's happening

#UgFootballeMemories
Tony Mawejje. He is the last of truly authoritative players in Cranes. Exuded class, confidence and panache. A complete central middi with skill in both feet. Ball player.Scorer.He could hold and attack. Dictate tempo. Versatile. Flamboyant.A general.

#WhoWasBetter
Fimbo vs Mubiru. Another sinful choice. Both center forwards. Different styles. Fimbo - for every chance, there was a goal. Mubiru - goals + assists. Fimbo wowed you with his every touch. Mubiru was exciting in possession and full flight. One slot - Mubiru for me.
#UgFootballMemories
Serumaga. What happened to this sweet left foot? How did he fail to establish himself in Cranes? Impudent skill. Stylish, fleet feet, flair filled, dribbling great shooting technique,. Joy footballer who delighted in possession once in full flight.
National Broadcasters Association (NAB) Executive Committee at Forest Cottages, Bukoto today. With buddies Hassan Saleh (MD Multichoice) right and Joe Kigozi ( Next Media Group) left during lunch. Away from business guess what the chat was about ...
The ones who started with Ibra Ssekajja will swear he is the most stylish center back they have ever seen. Well, I saw both Ibra and this man, Tom Lwanga. I am telling you that Ssekajja was not stylish enough to dance in Tom Lwanga's presence. Tom was grace and elegance. Class!
He reminds me of KCCA's George 'The Best' Nsimbe. Everyone in life hha a special moment that God only can explain. Alex Isabirye
@VipersSC
can never do this again, for example. Of all coaches at this great club, see what he has done in less than 5 months. No way to explain
#UgFootballMemories
Muzamir Mutyaba. This one I can't forgive. Even God will not forgive him. His natural talent was bigger than Sadam Juma or Owen Kasule but he was mentally weak. An artist with flair that wowed you each time he took possession. But he gave too little. A waste.
#Arsenal
Seriously this team plays good technical football. I enjoy watching them. They are in this fight for the long haul. This Saka boy should be a Liverpool player though.
#UgFootballMemories
Geoffrey Serunkuma. He is the one reason I disagreed with all Cranes coaches who ignored him. How could they? The second most natural goal scorer behind Fimbo. Graceful,flair filled, velvet touch,technical, clinical. All brains.Prolific. An assassin.
#UgFootballMemories
Mike Mutyaba. More talented than Farouk Miya. His skill set was a cut between Bengo and Augustine Nsumba. Two footed, great eye for goal, beautiful on the eye. He had elements of Hassan Mubiru and was breath taking on his day. We never saw the best of him.
#UgFootballersToday
Many of you have asked me to likewise describe today's generation. Question is - can they handle my truth? Can the coaches handle my truth? Can you handle my truth? I don't want to turn this into armageddon.
Don't forget my style is to say it as it is.
Uganda take on Tanzania today in the AFCONqualifiers. Strong squad the Cranes have got in Egypt. But is Alan Okello the best Ugandan player in history not good enough to start for the national team? Either we over rate him or the selectors under rate him. Which is which

@ManCityFCNews
all season and he is responsible for that. That'a my story and am sticking to it
#UgFootballMemories
Owen Kasule. I cry for him. What a waste! Technically the most gifted play maker of his era but only gave 60% of his potential.His touch,craft, guile, vision and inventiveness were similar to KCC's Majwega in the late 1980s.He didn't love football enough.
Oh NO!!!! Our legend. Life time
@KCCAFC
supporter. Ever present at Lugogo for as long as i've been a supporter. A personal friend, mentor in many respects. YELLOW blood. He believed in me as a young adult and encouraged me, supported me. So loyal. RIP legend.
#UgFootballMemories
Wilber Musika (KCC). Left wing back. One of the best ball winners and tacklers of his era. His dribbling, wall passes, ball management, industry and forward play were a marvel. Skillful player with flair. Consistent, loyal. Lovable character. Sweet left.
#UgFootballMakanikas
Timothy Batabaire (Villa). Center back. Defensively much better than Andy Mwesigwa but offensively very poor - offers nothing. A rock. A man mountain. Physically intimidating. Traditional man marker. Never scores. The best no.4 of his generation but makanika
#UgBestFootballCoaches
Sam Ssimbwa. An entertainer as a player, a pragmatist as a coach. His philosophy is winning not how. Obsessed with experienced players. No time to groom youngsters. He coaches for today not tomorrow.A Mourinho of sorts.A stylist dresser. A winner.Talkative
#UgFootballMemories
Sadik Wassa. The bravest goal keeper I saw. This guy could remove a peg from a lion's mouth. Dived where it hurt. Excellent shot stopper, the best in one-on-one situations, acrobatic, combatant. His reflexes were extra ordinary. Could win a game on his own.
#UgFootballMakanikas
Patrick Kaddu. Center forward. Just like that, he became a national hit with a couple of goals here and there. I can't remember what made him stand out - heading? May be. He was too normal. He could have passed for any player, in any team, anywhere.Lucky boy
#UgFootballMakanikas
Simeon Masaba - makanika legend. For as long as he was active, he made the right full back his own but to this day, I find it hard to describe his style. Help me here coz I fail to find the words. It's why I will simply call him legend. How did he do it?
#UgFootballMemories
Mohammed Shaban. Live wire. His strength is his unpredictability. Swift, aggressive,explosive, a cat in the box. He pounces like a cobra. Make him the main man and he will repay your faith. Flexible. But how do you control his emotions? He's on and off.
I've been asked the question - how good is Casemiro? My answer; he ages like old wine; very good. At Real Madrid, he was a spoiler. Job was to break up play. At United he looks a beautiful footballer; with poise, deft touches, vision and finesse. He has the complete package.
#UgDreamFootballers
Charles Livingstone Mbabazi. Midfield perfection.Oozed class with every touch and pass. A pure footballer. The midfield dream. Dictated tempo, directed operations with an aura of elegance. Technical player with world class technique on the ball. Wonder goals.
Then, Steven Bengo and Bryan Umony were the super stars. The protagonists. This product on Tv has come a long way and several individuals have played their part ne tofaali lyabwe. I and Mark Ssali were in the commentary box to bring you all the action. It was fun. Enjoy
#FIFAWorldCupQatar2022
Kylian Mbappe is the best player at the world cup. But has anyone noticed his style mirrors Thierry Henry's? Technical skills, flair, speed, change of pace, robustness, loves to entertain, mobility, dribbling, art of scoring and his impudence. Same dad?
#UgFootballersToday
Ibrahim 'Owen' Kasule. For me, the best player in the league. Reminds me of a young Jackson Mayanja. His skill set is complete. Real footballer. Creator,match maker,scorer. Wonderful passer, great movement.High intelligence.Ball player.Focus on him. Love him.
Inexperienced at this level. A young man but one of the outstanding players in the league this season. The calmness and confidence he took his chance seemed above his age. Brave offensive subs coming late; out of desperation but it worked - offense wins games not defense.Lesson.
Pep G is a genius. Let's just agree to agree on this. In terms of class, these two teams he built are not at same level, Barca was exceptional. But look at how both teams play and execute Pep's philosophy. In the end both play like machines. Different leagues, different times.
#UgFootballMemories
Kasule Babadi. The unsung general.He played like a general, walked like a general, led like a general. A ball playing holding midfielder whose ball winning skills,ball command,control and distribution is among the best I saw.Supremely confident. Few caps,sad.
#UgFootballMemories
Moses Waiswa. At 25, he looks stagnated already. He was the new kid on the block in 2017. Play maker. Ball player, technician, industrious, dribbler, passer. An all round midfielder.Since then, he's on and off.Nothing special. Cranes?
Be the coach on Tuesday. You are the Cranes coach for the return fixture Vs Tanzania on Tuesday. This was Micho's first 11 for our home game in Egypt. NAME your starting 11 for Tuesday.Tiimu kati mugyekwatilemu. Micho's 11 vs Your 11. Ani amanyi eddiba?
#UgFootballMakanikas
Andy Mwesigwa. Dogged defender. Ruthless aggressor who kicked everything in his way. A rock. Great leader, scoring defender, tireless worker. Steel mentality. Great tackler. But after this - it's hard to think of anything else. He sweated blood.Lucky boy
#UgFootballersToday
Hassan Ssenyonjo (Wakiso). Though under rated, for me, the best attacking midfielder in the league. He bosses midi. Always in control, dictates play, leads by example. Dribbler, passer, willing runner, play maker. Classy touches. Super confident. Joyous.
