Not lacking in goal scoring prowess or confidence, Kpaka took on one of his toughest challenges - your questions.

Nathaniel S Pour, USA

Are you going to be the next George Weah of Africa?

I'm far away from that. George Weah has to be not only the greatest player to have come from africa, but one of the greatest players in the world.

I have a lot to prove but I can't compare myself to him.

I would love to step into his footsteps. If I work hard, I might not be the next George Weah, but somebody Africa can be proud of.

Alpha Jalloh, USA

Do you think you and Mohamed Kallon will be a lethal strike force for the Leone Stars?

I have't played with him in a competitive games but I know a lot about his qualities.

I think we are complimentary and I feel we will make a good partnership.

Wurie Bah, Freetown Sierra Leone

Can the Leone Stars make an impact in African football in the absence of a properly organised national league competition?

There hasn't been a national competitive league for the past five or six years.

As a result, we don't have the talent coming into the current national squad, and we're using the same players that were there.

We don't have the young players coming up and we need to groom the young talent.

But I still think we have a fair chance of qualifying for the African Nations Cup finals in Tunisia in 2004.

Morocco is obviously the team to beat in our group, but they are not invincible.

John Koroma, Sierra Leone

Many players do well for their clubs, but don't give their best for their country. Do players sometimes put money before their country?

In Europe we play to a different system and when you go back home it's completely different.

It can take you five days to get used to it ,and when you have only got three days before an international match it's not enough.

As a result, your performance can suffer.

I don't think money has ever played a part in whether to play for my country or club.

I am proud to play for my country, although I do think that the natonal association does need to sit down and sort out the question of bonuses for some players.

Alie Baba Jalloh, USA

Despite being blessed with talented players, Sierra Leone has never done well in international tournaments. Are the players or national football associaton to blame?

I don't think you can put the blame all on one side.

But it's mostly down to the Sierra Leone FA.

I'm proud to wear the national jersey but in some areas we have been disappointing in terms of organisation and infrastructure.

It's down to the FA to build a structure for young players.

You need to have one batch going out and to have younger players coming in.

But you also have to question the commitment of some players.

Cephas Laryea, USA

With black players receiving racist abuse in Europe, should African players in Europe form an organisation?

If African players could start something through Uefa it would be great.

Racism has no place in football, football has no boundaries.

People should enjoy the game, whether the players are black, white or coloured.

It would be a fantastic, not just for African players, but for black players in general.

One idea might be to bring in sanctions against clubs with racist fans.

If the club was fined, they would make sure fans are kept in check.

Victor Massaquoi, USA

Where do you see yourself in the next four years?

I think I'm on the right track.

A lot of clubs are keeping an eye on me, so I have got to work hard at my game.

Because I went into football, I didn't finish my education, but I'm reading economics at Antwerp.

I know football isn't for ever and that I need something else in my life.

I would love to get a degree, which is why I'm studying economics.

Football-wise, I also want to play for my country whenever they need me.

Blair Chitimbe, Malawi

Don't you think your career would be affected if you joined Arsenal?

As a youngster, you always dream of playing for one of the world's top clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United.

I like Arsenal as a team, I like London and I like they way they play.

I would love to play for Arsenal - but it doesn't mean I'm on my way there.

Benjamin Palmer, Sierra Leone

What plans do you have to develop football in your home town of Kenema?

I grew up in Kenema and I plan to help disabled children and people who lost their families in the war.

I want to see how the Ministry of Sport can help to set up a football acaddemy for young talent.

There is plenty of yong talent out there playing football and an academy would be a great addition.

I have discussed the prospect with a couple of officials and they have given me great backing.
