MALAWI vs SWAZILAND ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

By: sscouser | July 4th, 2009 | 2 Comments »

On Monday, July 6, 2009, Malawi will play a friendly against Swaziland as part of Malawi’s 45th Annivesary of Independence Celebrations at Kamuzu Stadium. Malawi gained independence from Britain on July 6, 1964. History of Malawi.

Malawi and Swaziland are ranked 110 and 142, respectively, on the June 2009, FIFA Coca-Cola World Ranking. Malawi will seek to fine-tune ahead of the remainder of their 2010 World Cup/Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The Swazis have also been busy recently, playing two home friendlies against Lesotho in June, both of which finished 1-1. The Swazis will seek to test out different combinations ahead of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Kinnah (Malawi coach) has included up and coming players in his squad that will play Swaziland living up to his word that he would be trying new blood. According to The Daily Times, Kinnah said that though viewed as a friendly, the game against Swaziland was crucial to the Flames: “It is the first step towards the process of incorporating new blood in the Flames, hence the need to spend more time with the players to impart my philosophy of the game.”

Malawi are on the verge of missing out from the Angola Africa Cup of Nations after losing all their three first leg games against Group E members Ivory Coast (5-0), Burkina Faso (1-0) and Guinea (2-1). Is this really the time to incorporate new blood in the Flames? Integrating new team members during project crunch time can backfire despite your best efforts.
