If we got beaten by them, we should dissolve the team and the country itself

If the first game is in Xamar, we can honestly put the game to bed in the first leg if the players get proper training and some friendly matches.

They should try get the team to play Somali league teams if organising international friendlies is too difficult.

Also, they should make sure the crowd come correct with chants and proper noise on game day. That’s the difference between a win or loss.

We really have to let the Turks do our dirty work.

Another L for Somalis.

First game is xamar so we should use that to our advantage

They usually play Somalia home games in Djibouti.

Yeahh it’s usually played in dijbouti but considering Mogadishu stadium was rebuilt, I thought they’d play there. We will see inshallah

Well they sent you an offer, but didn’t answer so we should make it with the Turkish

Why you all that negative, we are bad, but not like that

You guys do know that this is Swaziland, they changed their name recently.

We can’t lose to a country whose population equals one xaafad in Xamar,

If we have more prep time and play at the same level as the game against Oman, we could win this easily

The ocean stars is one of the cooler nicknames in international football.

They changed their country's name due to being confused for Switzerland all the time and even receiving Swiss embassy documents at their Swaziland's embassies abroad.

It is weird reason to change their name. I wonder if there some ppl who went accidentally to Swaziland instead of swissland
