Mussa: The performance was embarrassing.

Minister responsible Henry Mussa told MBC that exiting the tournament without even scoring a goal and the oversized uniform the team used especially the green one turned the team into a laughing stock.

“Exiting the tournament without even scoring a goal was just too much and the oversized green uniform turned the nation into the laughing stock. We were the subject of mockery and I don’t want to be part of that, it was just too much, it degraded the nation,” Mussa told Malawi’s state broadcaster on Friday.

The Flames anchored group A with two points from three games without scoring a goal in all the matches.

They lost 2-nil to Tanzania in their opening match before playing to two goalless draws to Mauritius and Angola respectively.

Malawi arrived back into the country on Friday, with head coach Ronny Van Geneudgen impressed with his men’s performance despite failing to find the back of the net.
