What They're Saying
Equatorial Guinea head coach Esteban Becker (via BBC): "We want to surprise a few people. We will take things one game at a time and try to do well for the people of the country who are all behind us. We have a new, young squad of players who play in the lower leagues in Spain. I called up hungry young players and I hope they do well."
Congo head coach Claude Le Roy (via BBC): "There are not enough places for my staff and it's even difficult to find rooms for the players. The electricity is terrible. Everything is exposed. I wanted to wash my hands. There was no water. Some of my assistants went around to see if there were rooms available somewhere, but it seems very very difficult. I'm not disappointed. That's what I was expecting. I don't want a big five-star hotel. I just want something very clean."
