ViVa Red Sea Boys!!!

Tomorrow the junior Red Sea boys will mark a new opening into the history of soccer in Eritrea. For the first time in history, an Eritrean team will play in continental championship. As such, it is a historic event and Congratulation for all Eritrean soccer funs!!
No matter how they will play on the championship, they are marking history. As for the outcomes of the play, as a fun, I am crossing my hands. It is unfortunate; the team is in the “death group” of the champion- along giants Nigeria, Ghana and Burkina Faso. These teams have a well know record and name in the game, which is very important. But who knows! Tomorrow, they make miracle against Nigeria. After all, who expected them to beat Libya, Egypt and Zambia! All these teams have undermined the Red Sea Boys before each game: only to find them selves in surprise defeat. So the Nigerians may be presented with another surprise tomorrow. If they did win over Nigeria, or even get draw, it will boost their moral and help them to keep their ticket for the world championship in Korea. If they manage at least to be the second in their group, then they will authematically qualify for the world championship in Korea. But even if they didn’t manage, they have already done great job by securing their ticket to Togo. After all, the Red Sea boys are the only team from the entire East Africa to play this game. Not a bad achievement.
With this regard, credit is due to their Head Coach Dorian Marin who is making great contribution for both teams- the juniors and Seniors. In a total of 8 matches he has so far, he win 5 games, two draws and only one defeat. That is quit achievement for a team which has no known record of victory in last 5 years now. The official name of the team is “Red Sea Camels”, but the media has preferred Red Sea Boys, and I like it.
Guys, let’s hope for another miracle, but even if that doesn’t come true, the team deserves credit for making this history. Viva Red Sea Boys!! Good Luck!!

Huh! Viva Red Sea Boys! So do you know the result? ur team is beaten 8 to 0!! Shame on the them! I don't know how they get to the championship. But would have been better had they not managed. Now they made history with the biggest defeat in the game. Don't even think telling us about them.
