Malawi FA chief tags Black Stars match ‘do or die’ affair

Posted On Friday, 31st August 2012

The Chief Executive of Football Association Malawi Charles Suzgo Nyirenda has termed their final 2013 Nations Cup qualifier against Ghana as a ‘do or die affair’.

The Black stars host the Flames in the first leg tie on 8 September and the return leg in Lilongwe on 14 October.

The winner of the two-legged tie will qualify to the finals to hosted by South Africa in January next year.

Nyirenda told Sunyani-based Storm FM: “We are preparing very well for this particular match because everybody knows the calibre of the Ghana team but actually it is not as strong as we know previously

“All of us have reminded ourselves about how important this match is and I can say that to Malawi, this match is a do or die affair and hopefully, we will cause a shock

“Don’t forget we have played all the giants in Africa including Egypt, Zambia,South Africa and Nigeria so it is not anything new playing Ghana and we are even happy the first leg is in Ghana.”

The Black Stars will begin camping on Sunday with 24 players named for the tie.

If it is a ‘do or die’ to him then it is ‘all die be die’ to us here in Ghana.

Look at who is talking here!! A corrupt less endowed minister of a plantation called Malawi!! Is only in Malawi where he can be a minister! Does he think is horrendeous names that can win matches? If is that alone then i think the likes of Don diego de azambuju ll have being better footballers.. or does he think carpenters,masons,trortro drivers,lotto forecasters,painters,nomadic farmers etc that win matches then Ghana would have being world champions!!! This Malawian squad which full of these people i mention early will be sink ll the titanic
