So while the fallout from our World Cup exit continues back home, the African Cup of Nations draw was completed in Luanda today and our team is set to face Zambia, Gabon, and Cameroon (in that order). Our matches will be based in Lubango where a new stadium with a 25,000 capacity has been built [...]

Apologies for not getting this up sooner but I was so incredibly disgusted with how things went yesterday that writing anything about the game would have produced more harm than good. After leading the group from the very first day, the Carthage Eagles put in what is hands down the poorest and most spiritless effort [...]

As I’m writing this post, our players have already landed in Maputo and will have one training session in the afternoon.
They’ll then have one more the next day and after that it’s showtime. Personally I wish I could just watch this match right now but given that our players are still getting accustomed to their [...]

This morning Humberto Coelho dropped the list we’ve all been waiting for. Given the critical importance of the upcoming match versus the Mambas in Maputo, if there was anything out of the ordinary on this roster then there would have been a lot of explaining to do.
In my estimation, we’ve thankfully been spared of such [...]

So after all the talk about us wanting to bounce back from our unimpressive yet crucial 1-0 victory over Kenya by putting forth a good performance against Saudi Arabia, we didn’t get exactly what we asked for.
As soon as the match began it was abundantly clear that Saudi Arabia were more motivated and perhaps just [...]

A mere three days after having narrowly edged Kenya 1-0 in World Cup qualifying at Rades stadium, our boys will be back at it again at 19:00 CET tomorrow. It’s not so often that we get treated to two matches in such a short span unless we’re in a tournament or preparing for one so [...]

Our boys overcame the visiting Harambee Stars in Rades today by the smallest of margins and we got our three points, albeit with great difficulty and through an underwhelming performance from the majority of the players and the coaching staff.
Add to that the fact that we were less than a minute away from qualifying for [...]

It’s Thursday and Sunday’s game against the Harambee Stars of Kenya inches ever closer. Since our 2-2 tie against Nigeria, the FTF has been busy getting friendlies lined up and tracing a plan to ensure that we perform well at the next African Cup of Nations in Angola but before all of that there’s business [...]

This morning Humberto Coelho revealed a 25 man roster who he will rely on versus Kenya on October 11th and Saudi Arabia three days after that.
Keep in mind that any Esperance players on the list won’t take part in the second fixture as they’ll have a UNAF Cup to play for and will be excused [...]

After our 2-2 tie against Nigeria in Abuja the FTF has been getting its act together to find a sparring partner before we fly off to Maputo in November for our last fixture. They turned down proposals from the UAE and Qatar to play on October 14th and began negotiations with Angola, Lybia, and Guinea [...]
