Malawi
malawi_national_team.jpgThe Malawi National Football Team is daring continental heavyweights such as Cameroon and Ivory Coast for an encounter. The Flames are `praying` for such a possibility during the FIFA draw to be conducted at its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, this week.
The flames
Flames' coach, Kinnah Phiri, said on Saturday in an exclusive interview time was near for the Indomitable Lions and the Ivory Coast to realize that their days are numbered. “Gone are the days when Africa had permanent soccer giants and full-time also-runs; now each team is like a mystery that needs to be studied and uncovered, especially on their home soil.”

He added: “We are not afraid of any team, and how we look forward to meeting either Cameroon or Ivory Coast so that we may teach them the 'Egypt lesson'. Let me say, here, that no team, not even the current World Champions Italy, can beat us on home soil (Kamuzu Stadium).”

“But, not only that, the current African champions Egypt and the Democratic Republic of Congo (whom Malawi humbled 2-1 at the giant Kamuzu Stadium on October 11) struggled to beat us on their own home soil and had to be saved by 'pocket' goals. It shows that we are getting there,” said Phiri.

“These teams will always come (to Malawi) happily, because we are the warmest people on the continent, and go back home in shame. But we will not stop to smile at them, as they do to us when we visit their countries; that is the national team we have always worked hard to build, and is now showing signs of maturity.”
