Talk2Me:The nightmare of an Amavubi Fun

On Saturday 3rd August, 2011, Rwanda hosted the African Cup of Nations qualifier between Rwanda and Ivory Coast. Like many Rwandans, I followed the match with belief that we would upset the African giants! By the end of the game; the score board read; Rwanda 0 : 5 Ivory Coast. I walked out of the stadium with my facedown not because we had lost to Ivory Coast but because I do not remember a single day recently when we have won an international football game. I kept asking myself what happened to the days when Rwanda was a dominant force in the region! What happened to the days when our League was the best? What happened to the days when Rwanda would defeat the likes of Ghana? Where are those days? Do these players have national pride when they are playing? What could be the solution this “walk of shame!”
