Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 81732, member: 636"] An underdog government official thinks his squad can actually destroy the tournament hosts. Paul Makonda told the Taifa Stars in Rabat that they possess enough juice to upset Morocco during the AFCON knockout phase. The Deputy Minister for Information, Culture, Arts, and Sports hyped up the roster while visiting their camp and insisted that the team looks prepared to stun global audiences despite playing against a football giant on foreign soil. Makonda urged the athletes to ignore the screaming local fans and focus purely on the game plan. He claimed that the entire nation stands behind them regardless of the odds or history favoring the opponent. The administrator demanded discipline on the field since this marks the very first time the country has ever advanced this deep into the championship bracket. [/QUOTE]
