Quite a sensible leader right there.....If it was Mobutu.......Zaire was the first African country to qualify for the world cup in 74.Their first game against Yugoslavia was a 9-0 thumping followed by a 3-0 and 2-0 thumping by West Germany and Scotland.........The squad was met by a prison van at the airport.
The 1st Match was 2 0 loss to Scotland. 2nd Match was a 9 0 thumping by the former Yugoslavia. So for the 3rd match against Brazil the word came from Mobutu " if you loose by more than 3 goals to Brazil........ Luckily for them the game ended 3 0.They played the game of their lives and it produced some really comical moments. BTW when they qualified for the Cup each player was rewarded with a brand new house. It goes without saying that they were promptly repossessed at the end of the World Cup.
