Missing Data

24/03/18 Mauritania v Guinea. Reports say that Guinea substituted everyone except Kaba in the second half but the only info that I have is that Moussa Traoré came on for Yattara, and also that Lass Bangoura was used.

27/03/18 Namibia v Lesotho Extra Namibia sub Enzo Mungendje, but don't know who he came on for.

Independence day celebrations in Swaziland. I suppose we'll have to change the country name if the new constitution comes out, as the king has declared that it should now be called eSwatini. Unusual in that it starts with a lower case letter! I'm sure Namibia used extra subs but I can't find any report of who they were.

On the other hand it would be consistent with it's neighbours. eSwatini means the land of the people who speak Swati. The country takes its name from King Mswati II, so I would say that their spelling is more accurate than either the English or the German versions. Botswana translates as the same but with Setswana as the language and Lesotho as the land of the Sesotho speakers. It's a lot easier to call yourself that in a country that has one official indigenous language - South Africa would be a nightmare! Also, of course, Part of the Setswana speaking area was incorporated into South Africa in 1895 when British Bechuanaland was incorporated with the Cape Colony. The remaining half, the Bechuanaland Protectorate is what is now Botswana.
