Flames hit-man, Gabadinho Mhango, confident that the team will beat Tanzania on Sunday.

Mhango made the sentiments during a presser in Tanzania ahead of the international friendly game.

According to Mhango, Flames players are geared to thrash the host as one way of having good preparations.

Mhango said they have been struggling when we are playing against Tanzania but come Sunday it will be a different story.

This is the first friendly game for the Flames as they are preparing for World Cup qualifiers and AFCON tournament in January.

Players should be protected at all costs. The red and yellow cards in their pockets are there to control the proceedings of the game.

We've seen too many serious injuries in this second round of the TNM Super League and we cannot afford to lose more players from physical and highly emotional contact due to negligence of referees.

Football has reached a crucial point: others are fighting against relegation while others are fighting for championship, so any mistake by the refs will be grave.

We don't want more games ending prematurely because of officiation.

Let's also support our officiating team, starting with officials of clubs.

Don't forget that referees are human beings subject to errors. Don't tamper with their judgement in the field of play; they are in-charge of everything.
