Amalawi kodi zosankhana mitundu zizatha liti? We’re talking about the team to represent the nation here. In Malawi’s football,nothern is the only region that produces good players(am from Ntcheu by the way). Tikakumbuka nthawi yina m’mbuyomo out of eleven players inthe national team,seven or eight players anali a Bata Bullets. There was nothing wrong with that cause we knew kuti Bullets was the only team yimene yinali ndi osewera abwino.
Tiyeni tiphunzire kukondana a malawi.
A lomwe inu mukamayendetsa mboma timaku yankhulani choncho ? You lomwe’s failed tribe mtundu wokokera ngati uwu sindinawune muntha nonse akachokapo mbuyamwanuyu. Now kinna why have you not included guys in mozambique whom we hear there are doing fine like lanjesi was even proposed for the mozambique national team. i think you need to look at those guys as well.
