Luanda
Angola's group might turn out complicated - FIFA official

Luanda – Angola’s group “A” in the African Football Cup of Nations (CAN2010) that includes Mali, Malawi and Algeria, despite seeming an easy one, might become complicated to the national team, due to the balanced level of the opponents.

 

This was said Tuesday in Luanda by FIFA official, José Luís Gomes.

 

Speaking to Angop, José Luís Gomes added that Angola should be careful with one of the members of the group, Algeria, a team that regularly participates in such a competition, and is in high spirit after qualifying for the 2010 World Cup of South Africa.

 

He stated that Mali is also a tough opponent, recalling the 3-0 defeat of  February 11 Angola suffered during the first friendly game under Coach Mabi de Almeida.  

 

To him, Angola’s only advantage is the fact of playing at home, with the support of its public.

 

A psychologist, Jose Luis Gomes warned that there are no easy games in sports, adding that theoretical advantages do not always translate into victory.
