Africa Thumped !

The Cayman Islands World Cup got under way yesterday, and team Africa’s first match was against Canada. The team could not have had a worse start as Canada managed to blast 4 goals past our goal keeper within the 26 minutes allotted for the game. In all honesty, if it was not for the valiant efforts of our keeper, Canada could have scored at least another 4 goals.

So what went wrong ? The one thing I noticed from the sidelines, is that we probably had about 6 coaches on the team, (most teams in the world have one coach). We were disorganised, we were back chatting the refs and generally our team (although talented) did not have a clue how to play 5-a-side effectively. Having said that, I must say - well done Canada, you played a very good game.

Today, we play 3 matches and we really have to up our game, unfortunately I will not be able to watch the first game due to a prior commitment but I will definitely lend my support for the other two remaining games… Go Team Africa!
