According to reports, the bus driver was killed while two players and two medics suffered injuries during the attack with machine guns as the team travelled through the Cabinda region bordering Congo. "I'm okay but several players are in a bad state," Thomas Dossevi, the Togo and Nantes striker, told French radio station RMC. "We are still in hospital. We were machine-gunned like dogs and had to remain hidden under our seats for around 20 minutes to avoid the bullets The Togo team are currently in Angola preparing for the African Cup of Nations, which gets underway on Sunday.

Dangerous Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 why do they have to hold this mickey mouse tournament every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Don't think they see it as that, I mean we have the European Championships, South America have the Copa América. I think if the players saw it as a Mickey Mouse cup they'd pull out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
