Scouser, thanks for the analysis. Yes we are through to the next round.
However Malawi haven’t qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations yet because the 12 first positions in the 12 groups plus the 8 second best runners up, making it 20 teams will then go into a 5 groups of 4 teams each. The winner of each group goes to South Africa 2010 but also the 1 to 3 of each group then qualify for Angola 2010. That makes it 15 teams to join the host Angola so chill cos the flames are yet to burn!

Yes, the “Special One” has pulled a historic qualification to the Angola 2010. Nobody will take away this pride from the Flames. Bravo Flames!

Malawi, we need to give all the praise to the Almighty God. He saw us through the Pharaohs and the Leopards and for sure he will see us through in the coming round.

When we were busy clinging to foreign coaches who did not deliver, little did we know that the answer to our problems is right in our hands. Our own son of the soil, KInna. Let’s continue praying to God for his hand even now. Let’s not wait till the 2nd round starts, tidzachita manyazi pamaso pa Mulungu.

VIVA MALAWI…. VIVA MA FLAMES!!!!!
