Congrats Jordan and all the best to chipolopolo boys
Uganda will be a bitch to beat.
I just hope this time our team won’t disapoint us
for once im confident about our defense following the dropping of U23 wing backs in Chepeshi and co.
Those two small boys in defence were worrying me as well.it good that they were dropped. We don’t need them even during the afcon and world cup qualifications.
