It ends today, which is the two games mandate. I can’t talk about Libya because I haven’t been told but however I can talk about it a little bit incase we have another coach, we can talk about it I want to be closer to the team as it should be and I can give inside story and inside information that we need to be able to overcome Libya.”
“No team is a pushover anymore but with this spirit that these boys have exhibited and from what I have seen we have a very bright future”.
