This ladies would have done us proud if they were the ones that played against the morocan male team yesterday…
Zambia were dispatched 5 nil only last July.
Malawi are debutants.
Egypt only qualified as an “afterthought” by CAF when they changed the number of qualified nations to 16 from 12 and after series were concluded with 12 teams known, Egypt were subsequently added to the fold alongside Cameroon, Mali and CIV.
Tournament is only 8 weeks away. I am scared for falcons but hold on, who says winning WAFCON is our birthright, anyway after the “bad” preparations.
For the first time ever, only the top 2 in each group shall progress to the quarter finals. No best third place spots again.
Well, falcons should first get the semi finals ticket which is the direct pathway to Brazil 2027 world cup.
