Terrible and they have done the right thing. It was a bad mistake to hold it in Angola a coutry just comming out of 30 years of civil wars. The countrys sthat surround it are also very unstable with fighting still going on in countries like Congo.

It was a gamble holding it there its not paid off I feel for the players I dont see how Tongo could play with what has happened, it will go ahead but the whole tourniments been spoiled and its cast a shadow over the worldcup.

Can't blame them. Playing football would be the last of my priorities after an ordeal like that.

They'll want to be with their families.

Right choice IMO. A life is worth more than a game of football.

Well done Togo.


RIP

The goalkeeper has apparently just given an interview saying three are dead.

Good, the whole tournament should be cancelled imo.

Just hope Ade will get his head right as I imagine he will be shook up after the event

Although this wouldve been a horrifying experience for (Ade) and for anyone, he'll eventually need to get over it and get his head straight.
I hope Ade can use this experience as a motivator, in some what shape or form.
