LESOTHO
Lesotho have been runners-up in the Cosafa Castle Cup, reaching the final in 2000 when they lost convincingly 6-0 on aggregate to Zimbabwe. The progress of Likoena to the deciding tie shook up the competition and proved that the playing fields of southern Africa had been levelled by the so-called minnows of the region. But since their appearance at the finals, Lesotho have won just one game in ordinary time in the Cosafa Senior Challenge, their last when they pipped the Comores 1-0 last year. Beaten by Zambia and Mozambique in 2001 and 2002 respectively, they lost on post-match penalties to the Mozambicans in 2003 and Botswana in 2004, when they were beaten 11-10 by Botswana in an incredible shootout in Maseru. In 2006 they drew with Mozambique and then won on penalties, but lost their group final at home to Angola. The poor run continues in 2007 as they lost to Angola and Namibia, but they did at least put up a good showing in 2008 when they beat the Comores, their first win in the competition outside of Lesotho, and draw with Namibia. However their 1-0 loss to Malawi meant they did not progress to the quarterfinals. All-in-all they have won just three of their 21 games to date.
