The Squirrels of Benin will not lose sleep for a night even if they fail to cross the group stage of the on going Nations Cup battle in Ghana.

Coach of the team Reinhard Fabisch, who made the submission in a post match interview, said they have a different agenda which is to use the Nation's Cup to prepare for 2010 world cup in South Africa.

Fabisch, who believes it is difficult to predict what will happen in the remaining two matches, confessed that they did not prepare hundred percent for the tournament.

"We did not have adequate preparation, but we are not complaining because we are on course in line with our resolve to use this championship as preparation for the world Cup in South Africa."

Although Squirrels were described as outsiders who will not pose a threat to anybody, the team gave a good account of themselves in their 0-1 loss to Mali.

Fear gripped Mali especially in the dying minutes of the match when the Squirrels went on rampage firing from all cylinders and almost getting an equalizer.
