Butler optimistic despite underdog tag

The two clash in the quarter-final stage after receiving a bye in the group stages due to their comparatively superior FIFA ranking.  Butler told a press briefing on Wednesday at Lekidi centre that the team has been in a familiarisation camp for the new faces in the team.   He said six of the players who got the national team call up were part of the Under-23 squad that arrived from Kenya this week. 

He said he had a chance to coach the Young Zebras and was impressed with what he saw.  Mpho Kgaswane, Onkabetse Makgantai, Omaatla Kebatho, Tapiwa Gadibolae, Katlego Koobake and Kago Van Der Westhuizen are the Under-23 players promoted to the senior team.
