Eritrea loses
Eritrea doesn't have a very good record in soccer these days. First they lost a match to Tanzania, knocking them out of the Cecafa tournament. Now, they've lost the whole team.
Apparently the team's plane landed in Eritrea, but the only person still on board was the coach. The team has appeared to have absconded, probably somewhere in Kenya.
This amuses me because it was only yesterday that Isaias was saying that Eritrea was doing fine, and that only the stupid people were leaving a country commonly through to be beset by economic, social, and political troubles.
The young Eritreans who are leaving, he said, are simply "weak."
"We are not at all bothered," he said, referring to the swelling diaspora that sends home money totaling about a third of the economy. "The best brains do not make the wrong choice for their lives."
Now, this is just a suggestion, but you might not want to put all these stupid people on your national soccer team, and just give them their own jet. I'm just sayin'
