Go Walyas!!!
Ethiopia colonized eritreans, most of eritreas scholars graduated from ethiopia, many get scholarship even now, many eris ask asylum in Ethiopia, the tigrigan asks asylum not because of harrasment of thire government but for economical reasons, any eri writer can not write more than one paragraph with our the word Ethiopia. Their best runner Tadesse won one time the great Kenenisa and Kenenisa won him 15 times. The eri said the reason is because of the colonization.
CURRENTLY WOYANE'S CHAT/KHAT GENERATION IS IN SUCH A WEAK STATE OF MIND WOYANE CAN INTIMIDATE THEM SO EASILY AND THE RANK 124th in the World and 33rd in Africa IN SOCCER IS CONSIDERED AS AN ACHIEVEMENT .
FOR A COUNTRY OF 80,000,000 PEOPLE WHERE SOCCER HAD BEEN MORE THAN A HOBBY TO ALMOST ALL MALES THE CURRENT SPORT ENVIRONMENT IS A DISGRACE TO ALL .
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE I WONDER WHAT MENGISTU WORKU WAS FEELING BY WATCHING THIS KHAT/CHAT GENERATION CONTINUEING HIS LEGACY IN REPRESENTING ETHIOPIA IN the 2012 Africa Cup .
I usually don’t agree with most of the comments you post on this site. But I must agree with this one. I also see that our team is much better these days. I was very much disappointed when they lost to Guinea in Addis Ababa last summer. I hope they beat Nigeria next march and qualify for the African Cup of Nations.
Sudan 92 !
Ethiopia 124
Kenya 120!
Cockroaches 177 !!
Hold on I thought ethio beat kenya 2-1 so why is kenya 120 and ethio 124!!!!!!!!!!!!!
