UK Somali Team Arrives in Toronto.

[Jabhad]

They have parked themselves at Banaadir restaurant. Meeshaas ayee wada dhoowanyihiin all teams ka yimid dibadda, qaas ahaa the four teams from Landhan. Free baaraxi bariis food ayee ka helaan, I guess.

 

After dropping a relative off at the airport and a quick visit to Xamdi restaurant at around 11:pm on a thursday night last week, I decided to make a short stop @ Banadir restaurtant to grap my favourite tea in town before making the long trip back to my city, and thats when I saw a group of young men with a blue Cardiff jerseys, and most had a northern dialects. First I thought, they were a religious group visiting TO or pro Somaliland folks spreading the message"weey duushay" . Few minutes later after leaving the scene without knowing much about them, I happen to see few smokers among them outside and thats when I learned, they are here to play soccer. but I have to admit sxb, they looked like ametour soccer players, not the well disciplined, well trained, Som United.No wonder they got trashed.

Bariis qalalan oo aroortii la kariye ayee nasoo hordhigeen iyo hilib u eg wax adiga ku cuni karo.

 

ii badal majirto miyaa meesha..they got good sandwichs specially beef.

 

Very interesting article about the Somalis and their long history in Cardiff, Wales.

[N.O.R.F]

^^There are only a few teams in the UK who are what I would consider disciplined and well trained.

 

Farax iyo Rocko. I was a flanker/winger but a good sportsman overall. Rugby was one of 4 school teams i was involved with.

 

Didnt quite make the Cricket squad though,,,,

[Intel]

i’m impressed

i was a brilliant flanker myself aswell.

[N.O.R.F]

^^brilliant? Very modest

 

But I think the Aussies are better than the Americans when it comes to sports. Apart from the NBA they have nothing else,,,,

Leave the kids alone you bullies.

[Som@li]

Inamadani ma xuma, Good to see young somali athletes. but i aslways wonder why non of them make into the big leagues..

 

I miss Rugby,you will fell in love with Rugby if see All Blacks in action.

^^^Dabshid,erm could it be,their not genetically modelled to play rugby?Hence the slender structures our somali men possess[dont want to call them skinnies]

[Som@li]

^ You just call them, i am offended, lol, anyway, Many african countries do well in rugby.

[Malika]

^^Oh,that excludes you dear Dabshid..
