Mad Kurukuru’s fans and supporters in the country and abroad has commended our local players for standing tall against Futsal World Champions Brazil despite they lost their friendly match 18-0 on Tuesday.
“Congratulations Kurukuru players and your coaching staff for the great friendly.
“It was unfortunate that you could not contain mighty Brazil in that match, but I believe you can learn from that most valuable experience,’’ a local fan called Star Sports yesterday.
Another caller who also shared his words of encouragement said the boys did well but were not able to find their rhythm because of the fast play by their opponents.
“In fact our boys did fight until the final whistle, which is very encouraging.
“As such I would also like to commend them for the fighting spirit they have displayed,’’ Layton Opaka said.
“I hope our boys will grasp more tactical knowledge in this friendly as they are about to wrap-up their preparations for the FIFA Futsal World,’’ he said.
Opaka also stressed while he joined those who commended the Kurukuru players there are other people who also shared their disagreement on the result.
“While some of us are try to encourage our boys, there are others who commented negatively on our boy’s performance.
“We should be proud of our boy’s performance and should commend them for their hard work.”
