Thats a long story I could tell over a pint.
I kept a clean sheet in two matches over in Africa. We took a draw in another guy got lucky on a penalty shot. The pitch wasn't in the best condition I read the shot perfectly but it skipped over rough patches of dirt. I kid you not as I was keeping goal there was a heard of cattle just roaming behind me.
The guy in my avatar is from Africa and lives near me back in the states. He took me to his home village. He played with Argentinean club River Plate.
If you do not mind me saying mate, that is very mudane detail for an african experience. I once kept goal when i was younger and i kid you not, i heard a mob of harley davidsons going past.
again i am mocking slightly but it really isn't much of an african experience and it just so happens that it is convenient that two of the only people you have mentioned are both in the same picture together.
If i can suggest a good way to prove your story, you mentioned you are in this country, so as you have already got a picture of yourself in the avatar then take another picture of you in liverpool (or manchester) as you mentioned you would be, with something with todays date on, this would then prove your story completely and probably provide you with a change of attitude least of all from myself.
