    Malawi have invited the Chawinga sisters and hope they will make a big difference (and if they come I am sure they will).
    https://au.sports.yahoo.com/tabitha-temwa-chawinga-top-malawi-172618962.html

    But Temwa's team Kvarnsveden have two league matches during the time (August 3 and 10) so I doubt they will release her since she is vital for their offense.
    Anyone know how/if the Chinese league is playing during the time?

    It is - this week and next. And Tabitha Chawinga's team (Jiangsu) is leading the league with her goals ... dunno if they'll let her leave China for the tournament?

    Well, let's say South African players unleashed their grudge for an underwelming World Cup on the poor islanders. :coffee:

    On the other hand, how much competitive football the Comoros team has played in the last years? :cautious:

    [​IMG] [​IMG] Currently 1-0 in Mozambique v Eswatini, screening on the stream "Live A" (the main one). Later today (Thursday) it's Zambia-Mauritius (10:45 GMT) and Namibia-Botswana (13:30)

    Was the Mozambique goal actually scored by someone called "L. Moçambique"...? Or does the L stand for "Let's correct that later"?

    Sorry, I had missed that: what kind of nation Eswatini is? I had never heard of it.

    Oh, I had totally missed the change of name! I suppose it happened quite recently.

    I was somehow fond of the name Kingdom of Swaziland; I hope at least the name of the capital city, Mbabane, remained the same. I'll have to search for the reason of the change, I am curious...

    Some highlights of the games so far:

    Group A
    "South Africa vs Comoros (ALL 17 GOALS)"
    - youtu.be/71wWA4EERvw
    [​IMG]


    South Africa 3 - 1 Malawi
    - https://www.cosafa.tv/?t=v&mid=eav4Vp04&fid=ausW1YIe

    Comoros 1 - 5 Madagascar
    - https://www.cosafa.tv/?t=v&mid=8nd1P41h&fid=ausW1YIe

    ^ Including Wafat Mari's goal for the Comoros, the team's first goal since 2006 (well, they've hardly played any games. The U20s have scored some...)

    Group B
    Zambia 3 - 2 Namibia
    - https://www.cosafa.tv/?t=v&mid=D0h1xniP&fid=ausW1YIe

    Group C
    Zimbabwe 4 - 1 Angola

    Zimbabwe 4 - 0 Mozambique

    Today, Monday, it's the Group A final games with South Africa (10:45 GMT) and the last matches in Group C (13:30 GMT).

    It was the king who changed it – a lot of ill-informed outsiders used to confuse Swaziland with Switzerland. (Eswatini just means "land of the Swazis".) But the city of Mbabane still has the same name. Here's a picture of it

    Lol, I had naver seen a picture of the city, and I must admit that I was imagining it way differenty. It doesn't look very "African" at all: by watching at the cathedral, the belltower and the gable roofs, one could figure it's a picture from Europe. I'll go further: the mountains in the background seem to scream... Switzerland!!! :eek:o_Oo_Oo_O:eek:

    Sorry that was an error, here is Mbabane

    BTW today has 2 streams, Live A and Live B for the perhaps less important game.

    In a decade or so it would be good to know if it helped, maybe we should do the same. :D

    Off topic, but you can't imagine how many people mistake Austria for Australia.

    Unless Zambia vs Botswana end in a draw, then both will have 7 points and Botswana's 7 point and +4 goals will beat Malawi's 6 point and +13 goals for best 2nd placed team.

    And Zambia-Botswana ends in a draw. Zambia was probably forcing a draw as Botswana is an easier opponent than Malawi. They'll face each other again in the semis.

    Zambia 0 - Botswana 0
    Namibia 8 - Mauritiius 0
