@segmentata@Sir_Fin Plus Abidal and Malouda. Of course losing Zidane was just as bad, in my opinion, as Brazil losing Romario, but fate is usually against defending champions. Only Brazil and Italy have defende the WC successfully. Point stands, defending the trophy is always a huge obstacle.
@segmentata@Sir_Fin The only two significant injuries were Zidane, who missed the first two matches, and Pires. I also believe that generational was past their peak, so it was just a matter of when they were going to fall. Thanks, Spain 2014. Not old but opposition countered Tiki Taka.
@segmentata@Sir_Fin Context. France was the best team between 1998 and 2002. They were expected to get to the semis only to be eliminated in the first round. Same with Italy in 2010 and Germany 2018. I think Argentina will go beyond the first round but I doubt they will get to the finals.
@uginm102@Ashimbb The Bafumbira, who are Ugandans and speak Kinyanrwanda (or a dialect of it) have their own territory in Uganda which is Kisoro district.
@uginm102 North Eastern Kenya is inhabited by ethnic Somalis, a group to which Duale belong. In fact, Somalia in the name of identity politics tried to claim North Eastern Kenya and Ogaden in Ethiopia.
@XavierOgena@PSSEKABIR I have bought a copy of the aforementioned book. I look forward to reading the book. I enjoyed reading your books about Messrs. Amin, Obote and Museveni. Thank you for the good work.
@Adeyemi_AFC What was the percentage at Parc De Princes? 43%. They had more shots than Bayern, but less on target. Could that explain why the score was 5-4?
@qataharraymond@NativeLandgrab From what I read Tooro broke away from Bunyoro, a certain Prince Kaboyo was behind the secession, which was before colonialism. That is my understanding. I welcome any clarification.
A boring Champions League Final. The less cynical team, PSG, deserved to win. How can you, Arsenal, score a goal in the fifth and then park the bus? Last year we were talking about the ridiculous 5-0 score line.
@Uwkuhc I think Al Ahly complained about Morocco always hosting the finals, and the finalist in the last few years have been Moroccan clubs. Cities bidding costs money.
They should also do away with the away goals rule.
@NanaKof78032977@_owurakuampofo Correct, Ghana had a technically better team but there was something that Laryea Kingston gave to Uganda which gave them the edge.
@BadruZziwa The goalkeeper wearing a pink top is Sadiq Wassa. The other goalkeeper I believe is Mike Mukasa. Of course there is George Ssemogerere, Jackson Mayanja and Magid Musisi.
@AsiimweInnoce10@jamesonen Do not quote me, plus I am not a Luganda speaker nor writer, but it may have been a proverb to insinuate โwe are back.โ I advise you to read Xavier Ogenaโs books โObote in Political History of Ugandaโ and โA Political Life of Museveni.โ
@jamesonen To be clear, I think his fate was already sealed before he was sworn in as president, so it would not have made a difference if he had not used Luganda.
