No wonder today has been a very gloomy day. The events in Kasese; the loss of our school children. Very very sad, heart breakong. We pray for their innocent souls!
France vs. Morocco came down to one thing - surgical dexterity within the 18 yard-box. With such highly defensive/counter-attacking football, how else? Secondly, when u r in the 18, circumstances cannot be perfect - shoot! None-the-less, our African brothers fought a good fight!
That goal by Julio Alvarez (Argentina vs Croatia): Dexterity, ball control and relentlessness. Reminds me of the days of Batistuta and Maradona. Dribble everyone from the midfield, then the keeper and all that is left is a tap into the net!
Morocco! You have done Africa proud. That short clip of Christiano Ronaldo crying summarizes the significance of the moment. After bleeding its talent to Europe for ages, Africa finally breaks one glass ceiling!

How Ugandan Tycoons operate: Borrow millions of dollars from abroad. At payback time, run to the courts and ask them to declare the transaction illegal.Then announce that you will not pay because you have recently learnt that borrowing from a non-Ugandan entity is totally illegal
What's your experience with direct marketing agents of lifestyle products? People try to force a product down your throat. They stalk you, calling you several times a week, and talking endlessly on the phone. What are the boundaries of decency?
The Australian Olympics team was quarantined for 28 days upon return from Tokyo. But the extremely talented Serbian who freely gave interviews while infected with COVID-19 thought he could beat the second most radical border control system using a fake 'medical exemption'.
Novak Djokovic: The priviledged anti-vaxxer who thought he could pull his 'victim' pranks on the Australians. Many Australians had themselves been locked out of their country for months due to the most incessant lock-downs and travel bans in the world.
