Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75846, member: 636"] FIFA and CAF pushed the player release deadline back, and Zimbabwe's AFCON prep just got wrecked since their foreign-based guys cannot show up until mid-December. Coach Marian Marinica has to work with mostly domestic players while the overseas talent trickles in late, which means tactical work and team chemistry building got pushed way back. Alec Mudimu came out of retirement to join the camp along with goalkeeper Tedious Baye and Portuguese-based youngster Colbert Chimedza. The Warriors kick off against Egypt in Morocco, and fans are pretty mad about the whole situation since the squad barely has time to gel before the tournament starts. People online are roasting the decision, with some blaming it on favoritism since other countries have mostly local-based rosters anyway. [/QUOTE]
