Another pointless friendly with a lowly ranked team in the offering…keep up the good work our great king Kalu and his brilliant minds in Football House.
This might be misconstrued as an easy game. But I can see how it gives our boys a chance to pick up a morale boosting win. Going into a more competitive set of tougher fixtures against Norway & Morocco, we can’t be coming into those with another lackluster performance. Plus Tanzania might have some common pattern about them as our first Afcon ’13 opponents Ethiopia being from Cecafa too
where ARE THEY PLAYING
