Makoto Nakamura Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Why Lesotho? Why not. After close to 50 seasons in Scotland I've gotten a bit bored of regressing and so wanted to go somewhere else, somewhere more obscure and for some reason Lesotho has stuck. I've holidayed a season and taken control of the team that finished bottom of the 2nd tier, Ketane. The aim? Win the Champions League without signing anybody, Every league in Africa is loaded as view-only and ever player based in Africa is loaded. Yes, we have a real player! The aim is to develop Lesotho as a country and see how far we can go! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) January 2023 Not terribly exciting in the league and in the cup we provided a minor upset in the first leg against Bantu, then they showed us their strength by whipping us in the 2nd leg.
