Coach always taught us not to give up. When we were down by five, we were going to keep fighting. We knew we could come back.

Despite serious fighting in the region between the Chadian army and militias since late 2005, most people are still able to live with their families, and there is still food around from the harvest, but that situation will deteriorate as we move into the hunger season when food supplies normally run out. We are very concerned about these people.

I really wanted to win this season for the seniors. All of them are great guys.

It was a great game between two evenly matched teams. We knew there were going to be a lot of people here to watch.

It should be a good game. We are going into the game trying to prove that we should be No. 1.

The Portuguese are fighting for their lives. I expect them to put us under a lot of pressure and throw everything into attack,
