TURKEY
Striker Collins Mbesuma did not play for 14th placed Bursaspor on Sunday in the clubs 4-1 away defeat at 4th from top Kayserispor.
Remember Chamanga of last’s years CAN 2006,he was superb probably the best striker in our team.So far in RSA he is scored 10 goals and he has been left out in preference to Felix,Adubelo & Bakala.WHY???????
Gents,Mbesuma he just recoverd and he has only played 12 minutes as a substitute.I do not think he will be ready enough to face the likes of Song.We also need natural wingers like Chivuta.What football is in Angola to talk of that would have so much influence on the selection of our players?
#1 you are right. I can not imagine how these people select the team.
