After dispatching Congo Brazzaville with a four star performance that saw the Cranes over turn a 1-3 deficit to advance to the final round of the 2013 AFCON qualifiers, Cranes coach Bobby Williamson said that his team is ready for any one it is drawn to face. Speaking to the media at Sojovalo Hotel where the team recieved Shs 70m bonus from FUFA for the win, The Scot said. “We are ready for any team we drew. We don’t control draws and at this stage we don’t care who we play. As long as my players play as a team and follow instructions, we can make it”. The Cranes progressed to the final round after beating Jean-Guy Walleme’s side 4-0 to qualify on a 5-3 aggregate. Skipper Andrew Mwesigwa, Godfrey Walusimbi, Geoffrey Massa and Emma Okwi scored Uganda’s four goals while Mike Sserumaga had netted the precious away goal that meant Cranes had a chance to progress which they used maximally. The final round draws are set for July with the Cranes likely opponents being teams in pot 1. These are Zambia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Gabon, Cameroun, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Burkinafaso, Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, Angola, Mali and Egypt. However, in case The pharoahs fails to beat Central African Republic in Bangui by 2-0, Senegal will make it to pot 1 and there could be chance Cranes world cup opponents in group J Senegal or Angola can still be next opponents in AFCON. Which teams in Pot 1 would you like to avoid?
