Re: Out of Africa
The Somali team scored a historic goal the other night as they were beaten 22-1 by Germany.
There was joyous celebration on the pitch!
They've also lost 13-0 to the Ukraine, 12-0 to Japan and will face Mongolia tonight.

There are now 17 nations participating in the bandy world championship.
They're hoping it will eventually become an Olympic sport,but they're not quite there yet.

Seems the guy who scored Somalia's historic first goal is Canadian and has played hockey since he was eight...
Apparently managed the transition to effing HUGE ice (the pitch is the size of a football field) pretty well.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
