What do you do when you meet a Lion? Or the indomitable one? If you cannot run away, you have to be on your best behavior, not angering him, if possible. And that’s exactly the tactics of Zdravko Logarusic. Former Gor Mahia and Leopards coach is now in charge of small Eswatini and with all four defeats, Sihlangu Semnikati are totally cool, as they cannot qualify for the World Cup. But the group leaders Cameroon have not secured their spot yet and they will come looking for all three points.Onana in South Africa with Cameroon 🇨🇲 to take on Eswatini pic.twitter.com/RiBl0Zcpey— Eric Njiru ⚽️ (@EricNjiiru) March 19, 2025 Logarušić certainly doesn’t want to lose the game with a big goal difference, certainly not in front of the home crowd, so a big round of compliments for the opponents is never a bad idea, especially since he is still looking for his maiden win as the national coach.“You talk about the weaknesses of Cameroon. Are you sure? You have weaknesses? We will try to organize ourselves and have a proper game to represent ourselves properly” he said, answering to a question from a Cameroonian journalist.I am the best for Harambee Stars job, says former Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards coachFor the Croatian, the best thing for today’s game is to be happy that you can see so many international stars playing in Eswatini ground and to represent your country the best you can.“What is very important is that today we have to see a big national team full of stars. It will be just me and the players. We can’t wait to meet Cameroon on the field. We know they are absolute favourites. Today is a big day for us. We will try to prepare ourselves properly and represent our country properly“ he said.Cameroon 🇨🇲 🦁 🔥Love the new set from ‘Fourteen’.

Our target is to show the best of ourselves. We are a small country with a small league and not much population but let’s show the best of ourselves on the field of play,” he added.Why outspoken Police coach Zdravko Logarusic wants to overhaul squad in JanuaryMarc Brys’ side maintained their unbeaten start in the group with a 1-1 draw against the Black Sable Antelopes on 11 June 2024, which came just three days after they had cruised to a 4-1 victory over the Blue Sharks. The Indomitable Lions also have a great goal difference (9-3) which will have come handy against their rivals in the group, Lybia and Cape Verde. And Logarusic is hoping they won’t have too many goals at the count of his team.2026 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS – AFRICARound 5Wednesday19:00: (2.90) Central African Republic (3.05) Madagascar (2.65)19:00: (11.0) Eswatini (4.60) Cameroon (1.35)19:00: (4.70) Liberia (3.35) Tunisia (1.85)
