I think that don't be the mind-set that will be to win the first opening game with Romania four days later we played Hong Kong and the final group game will be Samoa, so once again it is a touch competition is tough because played against, but I think if we get our preparation in order it we manage to get three or four games before we leave to the tournament as a group we will be on par” Thompson said. As to how many African teams are participating in the tournament Thompson said ”Nobody from the Junior trophy in Africa has ever qualify to play in the Championship at least for the last seven to eight years, so there will be a massive challenge to us".
