Malawi Vs. Ivory Coast: The Flames in Distress?

SOS! Emergency, The Flames fly in goalkeeper

There is no need to push the panic button because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The Flames play as a team i.e. a collection of players that interact to function as a whole.

The Flames should avoid giving the Ivory Coast stars too much respect. Yes, Drogba ended his country’s civil war but there is no reason to respect him on the pitch. Yes, Ivory Coast has good players but The Flames are not going to play names but the Ivory Coast National Team.

Although this game will be the first of the six games each team in the Group will play, each game will be important. However, a win will not only boost The Flames’ morale but will also put Malawi on the map (isn’t Malawi already on the map?)
