The Diaspora Team of Ethiopia is clearly falling apart

The Diaspora team of Brazil, despite their struggles in the beginning of the season and scare of the crap out of their fans has destroyed Ethiopia 5-0.  The first half was actually a somewhat evenly matched affair with a 0-0 within the first 45 min.  But, it was just for the Brazilian round of observation before the deployment of heavy artillery.  Meanwhile, DC Ethio Stars which represents the Ethiopian community in United States spread all their faults. They were anything but a team of serious soccer players. A porous defense with an inexperienced keeper conceded a goal in the first post.  With an absent and ineffective attack playing in the side aisles and somehow giving the impression to avoid the goal area with absolutely zero initiative from the midfield.

Seriously?  This failed pass of midfielder Robel, poor Robel in line with the goal trying to reach fellow striker Henock, allowing the Brazilian Kevin Gnatiko to develop and perform feats.  Robel was probably the victim of fear of doing wrong by giving the ball to the other team.  Head Coach Teddy and substitutes were speechless at the bench, resigned and unable to back their guys. They most likely finally concluded that shame does not kill.  The general feeling at the end of the game confirms that the DC Ethio Stars of Ethiopia are not ready for the next game against Nigeria or the knockout stage should they even qualify (It certainly does not look like they will).  The past reminds us that they have never even been since their first opening day of the competition. Oh, BTW, I forgot the 6-0 against England in the 2013 final. 

This is serious, I said and really bad because of the quality of the spectacle offered to the Brazilian team. Ethiopia was clearly humiliated. Watching this game from the stand, one could just ask “What in the World is going on with Ethiopia?” They just don’t know what to do.  From my prospective, each Ethiopian in the DC area at his level must bring his own to avoid another shame next Saturday against Nigeria.  Each has an obligation to recognize and change the way they serve their team. Is the time between now and the knockout stage sufficient to establish a group of conquerors pumped and ready to honorably defend Ethiopia? The answer will only come from Head Coach Teddy who seems to have a pebble in his shoe. He must renew confidence with all players and fans following this debacle as well as do some soul searching. Meanwhile, time is running out against the "DC Ethio Stars". So he must act urgently and quickly.
