Can Zebras shock Mambas?

The national soccer team, Zebras, flew to Mozambique yesterday morning for the 2010 World Cup/African Nations Cup qualifier, hoping to cause a major upset against the Mambas in Maputo on Sunday.

The Zebras will go into this game after a disappointing 0-0 draw against Madagascar in the opening game of the qualifiers at the Gaborone National Stadium last weekend.

The association has appointed Stanley Tshosane, assisted by Kenneth Mogae, to take charge of the team. Ahead of the Mozambique game, thousands of Batswana supporters are hopeful that the Zebras will return home with a positive result, considering that the man (Rowe) whom they believed was responsible for the poor showing has had the red card flashed at him.
