I never expected them to progress beyond the group stages and this makes my suspicion even stronger. Anyways girls go and tour and relax and feel the competition atmosphere, do some shopping, party around and come back and prepare for next tournaments and domestic matches. cheers
Ayeeeeeeee, it will be very hard for ethiopian team, the good this they will travel there and will return back on the 2nd or third days..kikikikikiki..because Nigeria, ivery coast and cameron! Three of them are the best team in the world and africa. Three of them will finish the women african cup from 1st up to 3rd while ethiopian team……
Though group B is the deadliest and hardest one,i believe in DINKINESH.
And when ever the challenge become strong, for sure it makes you more determined; and a challenging competiotor always keeps you moving to the full of your potential.
Girls please sing it the saying of: WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH,THE TOUGH GET GOING(meaning when the situation,the environment….becomes or happen to be difficult or hard, the strong/the tough people/personality starts going.)
so i believe this competition makes you like a gold which go through a fire.
YOU CAN MAKE IT MY LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!
In foot ball and any other competitions,there is no other secret other than determination and believeing in oneself.Just forget your competiotors huge names and their past succeses it was yesterday,but this competition is today.
ከባድ ምድብ ነው!
Best wishes for the Ethiopian team/
