...then there is the strength and physical conditioning of players stills needs improving.

So the ideal thing would be to play a tactical game and have those selected go for the entire 90 minutes.

Even the friendly matches played do not give a fair assessment on tactics but maybe help on fitness levels.

We arrived at around 9am after sleeping in Kenya and should be going for training this afternoon. I do not know if we will be allowed to use the match venue.

Generally, looking at the performance we played well. I am happy with the improvement but am disappointed with the result. We lost to a good team. What we need to do now is make sure that we have a team can compete at the highest level.

Back then we had players I knew and had assessed before unlike this time when the team is entirely new.

We were unlucky to have a third goal disallowed. That could have led us to the quarterfinals.
