Could we have a surprise candidate for the keeper position? Looks like he did well
He was one of the calling all pockets guys to make up a team, I think. I dont think he's part of the squad.
He must be at Uni there. I'll find out.
I've watched him play. He's got a long way to go. He's combative though. Cars for everyone will get their attention.

His played a few uni games this year.
Bawa, Shconken and him all attend they same uni.

If i'm not mistaken his Dad deals with gold or something. I'm trying to remember the article i read.

It was an documentary The Gold mafia. The dad moves all the gold for the country.

I can’t seem to find a live score for today’s game.

This poorly organised tour got me thinking.

Why not identify players that are over in England either playing or studying and have them play these games.

Whilst those in Zim play academy games here or against the other African nations.
