Wow. Togo's team bus got attacked on their way to their Angola base for their African Cup of Nations campaign. So four have died from the attack, one a player, their goalkeeper, so they've decided to pull out of the tournament. Sure, Angola doesn't seem safe now, but it sure makes the world know that the rebels won, and if the whole tournament is called off, I think this wouldn't be the best thing to do. What's the next best thing? Step up security, the tournament goes ahead, nothing big happens again, except for some wonderful goals and excellent games, great final, deserved winner, everyone goes home.. successful Nations Cup. Going home just doesn't help the fact that football is now facing terrorism. It just gives the rebels more incentive to attack other teams, and maybe June's World Cup will face the same threat, all because in January at the African Nations Cup, players cowered and teams quivered, and everyone surrendered. I know lives are at stake, but surely there's a better way than to just withdraw. And yes, I don't like it when I see players die, at least this is NOT the way.
