Great TV tonight as host nation Angola surprisingly managed to hold on to their 2-0 lead and see out the final minutes to beat Mali.Unfortunately Ana Paula
gave it a miss tonight ~ my missus sniffily reckons she could have been seen on Eastenders instead as I had insisted on "TV Rights" for this one, much to her displeasure.Bijou tells me that the Angolan national hero, "Mantorras" gets his name because he got burned as a child...................the name translates as "Toasted Brother"
"What a stupid name" says I, 'footballers get given some stupid names in Africa, they called my brother "Spoon" ' "why?" I asked...............'because he fed the strikers of course'
I wonder if they sing the equivalent of "Feed the Sills & He Will Score"?
