“We are disappointed, yes, because we wanted to win that match,” Amrouche told reporters ahead of the clash with Bafana Bafana.
“But this is football. What matters now is our reaction — and I can assure you, we will not go down easily against South Africa. We will fight for every ball.”
Ready For The Big Fight
The Algerian further challenged his players and fight for the dignity of their country.
. “It’s not over until the final whistle,” added Amrouche.
“This is about dignity, identity, and the Rwandan spirit. South Africa will meet a team that refuses to give up.”

South Africa won’t have it easy against Rwanda.
Bafana Bafana believes they will beat Rwanda and Rwanda is coming to South Africa to dash the hope of the Africans for reaching the World Cup.
South Africa’s coach knows already they can’t win under pressure, and it shows against Zimbabwe. Now that the pressure is on South Africa, can they do it on Tuesday against a stubborn Rwanda team?
On the other hand, can Super Eagles rise up and play without fear or pressure? Interesting ba? Time will tell.
I believe Nigeria will qualify for the World Cup tomorrow masha Allah. By God’s grace.
If I remember, no team has beaten Nigeria back-to-back, and the Super Eagles will have to repeat that in tomorrow’s match.
The display of the Super Eagles on Friday against Lesotho wasn’t encouraging likewise the Benin against Rwanda.
So, I’m confident that by God’s grace, Nigeria will qualify for the World Cup. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
@omo9ja so how have you seen Rohr, the coach you hated years ago? He’s on the brink of knocking the super eagles out of going to the world Cup. I remember clearly when we won Central Africa Republic, 2-0, you said you weren’t impressed with rohr and he should be sacked. You said any coach can qualify the super eagles for tournaments with ease, except rohr. How’s the working out so far? You and that clown called jimmyball kept ranting but you’ve been put to shame. By the way, should we still “fail with our own”?
If anyone can read between the lines – what this man is saying is bad news for every other team competing for that ticket in this group – Listen well, the man said they will not go down easily, what he is codedly saying is that they WILL go down but it wont be easy, they have already conceded that they will lose the game. This tells me that they are already in some kind of alliance with SA, remember that SA are like Russia in Africa, their hands are not clean – I’m sure that Jordaan has already done a deal with this guy here – I hope not, and by God’s grace I pray that it isn’t but for me, from what this man said – I can assure you all that SA will take that ticket and it will because Rwanda will lose to them tomorrow by agreement. It’s a shame but there’s nothing that can be done to stop this – it is a done deal!
What should happen is that the SE should allow Benin to win – I don’t think the SE’s have any chance of being the ones who take the ticket, the odds are very much against, that is the only way that anyone else apart from SA will take the automatic ticket from this group and the only other team that can possibly do so now is Benin.
Make it make sense people!
I just don’t know what is giving guys this courage that that Nigeria can qualify.
You guys should better make up your minds now. This eagles is going nowhere.
Let the country who had Laboured well enjoy the benefit of their hard labour.
This present se don’t deserve to be at the world cup.
They should all return to their clubs after tonight’s game.
Leave fan for time to heal their wounds.
The chance here appear glimmer, winning by 2 goals margin for a team that has never won by 2 goals margin in all the about 7 to 8 marches.
Abeg, forget nff self, this team is poorly set up for me.
@Wike , be wise. The Super Eagles can win.
Meanwhile austine and bosso to lead se to afcon, cos even nff had given up on this one.
S
@Wike, Bosso will be worthless . We cannot win without Chelle working at the wheel.
