Considering the atrocities that Belgium committed in Congo during colonialism, where does a Congolese man, such as Lukaku, Tieleman, Lukebakio, Witxel, Doku, and even Kompany etc find the courage and pride to play for Belgium?
What makes these African teams getting knocked out even worse is how condescending the commentators are when talking about them from beginning till end. I can’t take it anymore.
This is what I mean when I say Congo's presence in the World Cup means more to us and what others who may not be Congolese, or even African, may realise.
Football brings joy to a nation and demographic who have been through so much pain.
