ZIMBABWE’S World Cup quest, which started in a wave of promise, has gone off the rails in the last two games.
The Warriors lost both games against Lesotho and South Africa in South Africa.
They have two points from their opening four games.
But, despite that poor run, the Warriors are not the worst team in the qualifiers.
A number of teams are still yet to put points on the board.
These include Eswatini, Somalia, Sao Tome and Chad.
Mauritania and Djibouti have one point each.
