Phew just made it

Well, the boys have made it into the second round of the Afcon cup. As the host nation, it would've been a tad embarrassing to crash out but we've made it into the quarter finals. A happy nation is behind you. By the way, siyabonga is isiXhosa for "we are thankful", which happens to be the name of the player, Siyabonga Sangweni, who scored the goal that allowed us to stay at the top of our group in the competition.

Well, the Afcon cup opening was held and our infamous national team graced the occasion with yet another goalless night. Despite coach Gordon Igesund's claims, the team has yet to explode into action and bang in goals. The traditional firework display of the tournament opening certainly wasn't seen on the pitch. Maybe the coach should be given a rocket!
