October 8, 2005. Togo, one of Africa's poorest countries, qualifies for the World Cup for the first time in its history.

However, disillusionment quickly sets in. The team had not even entered the competition when it was already beset by endless internal problems. What if soccer, in the end, was nothing more than a reflection of the deep-seated problems that have been plaguing Africa for years?
