Togo, Togo, Togo

At the end of the first half Togo was beating South Korea (1-0). Eventually, the Togolese lost 2-1. Too bad. Togo, a former French colony became independent in 1960. It has a population of about 5 million people. The coach for the Togo team is Otto Pfister who quit his job a few days before the beginning of the World Cup. There was a dispute between the team and the Togo Federation about salaries. Eventually, Pfister came back to coach but it was not good enough. The next chance is on June 19 against Switzerland.
