Our players need to learn-and their coach needs to drill it into them: a match is not over until the final whistle. Somehow, as we got closer to the end of the game, you knew the inevitable was just around the corner (or the next free kick).

Our players need to learn—and their coach needs to drill it into them: a match is not over until the final whistle. Somehow, as we got closer to the end of the game, you kew the inevitable was just around the corner (or the next free kick).
We want victory, not the old English motto of never-do-wells that, "It doesn’t matter whether you win or you lose; it is how you play the game.”
We all compete at anything to win! Fans don’t pay good money to come watch your juggling and passing skills; they come to celebrate victory or at the very least a positive result, not to leave in a despondent mood—which takes us to the condition of the pitch at our national stadium: a perfect metaphor for FERWAFA senior management.
As someone asked on Twitter, "How is it possible that the same Rwanda that can maintain our roads and public spaces in an almost impeccable condition cannot have a national stadium with a pitch that does not resemble a potato patch?”
My answer to him: because FERWAFA is not in charge of those roads.
