The winning team brought happiness to a nation which had nothing to be happy about for a long time. <BR/><BR/>But I agree with your version of events, that Maumoon capitalized the event. It is sad that other politicians do not have the know how and the capacity to captalize on national events. That is not Maumoon's fault, is it? <BR/><BR/>And Dissent, please respect our footballers. When you said what you have said, did you speak to anyone of them in person?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015869842944058146.post-83931107799233923282008-06-17T10:00:00.000-07:002008-06-17T10:00:00.000-07:00The national team should apologize to the public o...The national team should apologize to the public or else the public will hate the team when they come to their senses.<BR/><BR/>Playing the game and winning a small cup is nothing heroic though the state owned TV and radio tries hard to convince themselves and the rest otherwise. Only a very foolish team full of losers would let themselves be manipulated for political reasons. A bunch of puppets with no brains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
