Amavubi... To buzz they manage, but can they sting?

Sudan Vs Rwanda 5-1 Aggregate...
I don't know if i should be rejoicing or mourning the barren draw (1-1) which left the National Football team, Wasps, licking their wounds at the expense of the Sudan Team at the Nyamirambo Regional Stadium!
See, maybe am just to much of a pessimist, but only the blind might be brave enough to say that our football team will stand the test of time. Just not many months ago, this is the same team we faced at the finger-licking encounter of the CECAFA final in TZ which, even though we lost the trophy, i was brave enough to support our team donning the National Colours while watching it from the Kenyan Capital, Nairobi...
And come the day i was calling the show down in Khartoum, we get so embarrassed so squarely, coming back home with a 4-0 deficit! As far as i can remember, this hadn't happened in quite some time... Not even on the CAN opener, where despite reckless tackling and so much pressure of being in an unfriendly environment, we managed to score!
Anyway, I heard the honourable minister of Sports and Culture dish out warnings to the team that those allowances would be scrapped if the team didn't meet the Rwandans expectations... (And how embarrassing indeed, these guys can't even sing the first stanza of the National Anthem!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, next year Rwanda is hosting the Juniors' CAN! Is there a goodwill fellow who will save our country from embarrassment of being eliminated in the knock-out stages! The repercussions would be unbearable to most of us the soft-hearted!
Proudly Rwandan
