Good to see some postive comments. Iam a SUVA fan becoz in recent games and tournaments the Suva team has improved they perfomance. As for other teams this year I think most will agree with me that if the teams like Nasinu ,Nadroga and Tavua are seen to be playing in the semis then and only then we can say that the level of soccer is increasing to another level. As a soccer fan may the best team win ,may all the teams demonstate good level of skills and I hope we see the level of fitness, attitude of and off the field /perfomance of players and how they put it to practise being combined as a team. All the best to all the participating teams.May the best team win.

Ba never fixes game with any team 4 u guys kind information. If all the other team is jealous of Ba then why would they do that. N on top of that the better team always wins. Ba is not the only one. If a particular team is good, they should win all matches regardless of what Ba does.
