Have a lot of work in Accra! Enkuan dess alachehu!
Wow, I am impressed!!!
Wish you the best in the final match with Ghana.
I think it is time for the Ethiopian Football Federation(EFF)to pay attention to these beautiful girls.They managed to beat Congo and Ghana and they have to be supported financially.They deserve attention.So far they got these results with the little resource that they were given by EFF.
Congradulations!!
Please coach, make sure our girls are prepared well for the return game. i suggest take them to law land ang hot part of the country, like Dire which has a similar weather with that of Ghana.
I appreciate the result compare to men national team but it isn’t best result .they will do more anyway brabo lucy
Bravo Ladies!!U guys r a lot better zan our national men soccer team zat embaressed us conceiving 8 goals and scoring only 2; ranking at z bottom of zer group!!!
