:mjlol: Read one defender left and escaped the camp in Tunisia
Its true :francis: the locals are flight risks, we need more diaspora guys. But honestly getting a goal and keeping the scoreline respectable against Algeria in Algeria is a step-up on its own.

Fully agree. Makes travelling easier too. I’m certain some wouldn’t mind repping as well.
Half the team is already diaspora guys right now, but getting the Swedes who play regular football for their clubs would be a gamechanger for us (Bilal Hussein, Taha Ali, Jabir Abdihakim). Supposedly they may all join in 2024. Bilal got one cap with Sweden, so probably is trying to exhaust his chances there before he commits lol.

That’s why Eritrea cancelled their matches. Whole squad was ready to dipset lol
Yep, they have players take off every international tournament even the regional CECAFA ones. Not as big a problem for us, and half our team is dual citizens, but end of the day both poor countries with huge drivers for economic migration.

Diniz made bad subs all around, he shouldve brought on Endrick earlier to play as a second striker/attacking, shouldve brought on Raphael Veiga to give Andre some rest and play alongside Bruno in the middle. Lodi is terrible and not national team quality.
