Africa-Press – Lesotho. The Africa Cup of Nations 2023 draw has been announced and the usual suspects are peddling false hope in the market. We are told Comoros is not really a threat and Zambia are not as hard as they used to be.
Cote d’Ivoire is not being mentioned for obvious reasons. Muckraker can tell you without a doubt that this will end in tears. Somewhere along the way hope will be replaced by anger.
That’s because Likuena are never far from calamity. They will raise your hopes and dash them at the eleventh hour. Of course the scapegoats will be aplenty.
We will be told that the coach got the tactics wrong and the players lack the tenacity to compete at the highest levels. There will probably be some skirmishes in the camp.
Bonuses will be delayed. The government will pretend not to have money to fund the team’s trips. All of which are true. So why do we raise our hopes on a team that will disappoint us? The answer is simple: self-delusion. Muckraker will strip naked and walk the streets of Maseru for three hours if Likuena qualifies for Afcon 2022.
