Lesotho secured their first win in the World Cup Qualifiers for the first time in over a decade.

ZIFA Blamed for Warriors’ Disastrous World Cup Qualifying Loss

The Warriors humiliating defeat has left Zimbabweans disappointed and outraged. Taking to social media, Zimbabweans blamed ZIFA and the interim coach Tapera for the Warriors defeat and poor performance.

Their post after the Warriors lost the game triggered furore from football fans.

“We try again next time
Zimbabwe 0-2 Lesotho.”

 

Zimbos accused the football fraternity of being disorganized and for appointing a coach whom they claimed was not experienced enough to handle a national team. They called on the disbandment of Warriors and implored FIFA to ban the national team from competing again.

Here are some of the reactions;

At this point I thnk Zim is the worst team in SADC currently. We are the yardstick of a “poor team” currently. Another FIFA ban is far much better than having to endure this nonsense!

@MunaG30;

ZIFA you are totally responsible and to blame..U appointed a novice coach a few days before the game.Why not appoint Brito..You are useless and the team was useless

@nigelchanakira;

Hmmmmn! How the mighty Warriors have fallen! I’m kinda speechless….or is it wordless. To be beaten 2 Nil by Lesotho….🫢! Yes, Lesotho, guys! We don’t even deserve a peep at the World Cup at all at this rate.

@PoteDior;

Fifa should ban this team. It waste resources and people’s emotion.

@Chakachaya1;
