Hi All,

As many of you know, the Guinea National Team's Nick Name is "Syli Nationale".

What does it mean?

Thanks all.

Nickname: Le Syli national. Syli is a word in Sousou, a Guinean language which means elephant, which are apparently found in parts of the northeast of the country. It was also the name of the former Guinean currency.

Wow, my website was quoted on BS.

And FYI it's national, without the 'e'.
