The Territory of Mine
They say the roar of a lion can be heard some 5 miles away. The roar of a jubilant nation can be heard even farther.
We have finally achieved something remarkable in our long and tedious struggle to achieve that something in the sporting arena. It IS the time to celebrate, there is no doubt about that. Don't you suck up to those who say SAFF is all but insignificant in the grand scheme of football (spelled FIFA). It maybe so, but tell that to the lion who has made the kill. Does it care that the Serengeti is watching? No! This lion will roar and it will be a proud roar.
Here, in the territory of mine, I see only red.
Here, in the territory of mine, I ... AM ... KING!

The shrieks from a circus of monkeys can be heard even further.

M,
Not quite. It is something else to be proud of winning that cup and something entirely different to go completely insane because of that.
