Nigeria can fall

Onyango, Tz jet in

CRANES custodian Dennis Onyango has confirmed his arrival today, a week to the much-anticipated June 2 encounter against Nigeria at Namboole Stadium.

Why Cranes must hope

It is a tedious exercise trying to dig positives from the rabble of defeat. A loss is simply that and nothing less. It leaves despair, gloom and mental images of what could have been.
