Vultures raring to devour Uganda

They seldom attack prey but they may kill wounded or sick animals. But the Vultures of Botswana - the national rugby team - have been different birds in recent years. They attack and kill healthy and strong teams.

This is most likely to be the case once again when the Vultures host Uganda in the 2011 World Cup qualifier at UB Stadium tomorrow. The game is mostly likely to attract a good crowd especially after an impressive display by the Vultures recently when they defeated Swaziland in a pre-qualifier. The Vultures have never failed to pull large crowds and have made the UB Stadium their slaughterhouse. It is expected that with the national soccer team, the Zebras playing the 2010 World Cup/AFCON qualifier against giants, Ivory Coast at the neighbouring National Stadium, the crowd at the UB Stadium is mostly likely to increase. This is because the Zebras play first and the soccer supporters are expected to cross over after the game to the UB Stadium to back the Vultures.
