  1. People,

    I really believe in this time that South Sudanese children are so good by nature in football. Being a sport psychologist in Europe before the 1990s. Sport is not very far from you daily body movements, but trainers redirect individuals from childhoodness. Nothing is to say South Sudan is a newest world country & it can´t lead Africa or the world in sport.

    The really pole in front of us South Sudanese sport ministry is to bring the best former world players to trainer their new ones. Don´t border yourselves in colours because tribalism have already divided us & have blocked our tomorrow inside the others.
