The momentum to Saturdays North-versus-South 2010 World/Africa Cup Group C qualifying match at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe is gathering steam with Egypt’s arrival in the country just before 07:00 Wednesday morning.
However, in pure North Africa gamesmanship fashion, Egyptian coach Mohamed Shehata refused to talk to the press…and so did star player Mohamed Abo-Trika.
But delegation leader and Egypt FA president Samir Zaher did have something diplomatic to say to the local press upon arrival in Ndola from Cairo on a chartered flight just before breakfast.
“We do respect Zambia very much that’s why it will not be an easy game but we are looking for three points,” Zaher said.
“The Zambia game will determine whether we will go to the 2010 South Africa World Cup or not.”
Team:
Ahmed Hasan, Essam El Hadary, Moatasem Salem, Mohamed Aboterika, Mohamed Barakat, Sayed Moawad, Hosny Abdrabu, El Hany Soliman, Ahmed El Mohamady, Ahmed Eid Abdel Malek, Sherif Abdel Fadil and Abdel Aziz Eawfik, Mohamed Shaaban, Hany Said, Wael Gomaa, Amr Zaki, Ahmed Fathy, Mohamed Soliman, Mahmoud Abol Seoud, Ahmed Kamal, Ahmed Said, Mohamed El Gabbas and Ahmed Raouf.

Whats the use of building a new stadium in ndola? Its just a waste of money. The chipolopolo kaponya boys are losers,
G A M E O V E R.
Mayoooooo ta fwa….
All the best KK11
Ok now let us watch football. Support the team that plays better!
i HOPE THESE GUYS WONT URINATE ON US LIKE THE DESERT FOXES DID TWICE WITH NO RESPONSE. MAY BE THIS TIME COLLINS WILL RAISE TO THE OCCASSION. SURPRISINGLY ALL PROS HAVE BEEN ROUNDED UP WHEN ITS TOO LATE FOR SOUTH AFRICA 2010. OUR PLANNING IS UPSIDE DOWN.
number, 6, please, we have always had pros, maybe talk of Sinkala, Chansa was injured. We simply don’t have quality players.
We have already wasted our chances. Lets not stand in their way by giving the all the 3 points because we failed give competion in the graoupe. How can you drop all the six points to one team-Algeria? Shame!!!!! Shame!!!!!!!!!!
the game on saturday is as uninteresting as the 2011 election
I wonder that Frenchman is a quality coach or just here to enrich his CV. WE have lost more games under the coachship of this guy. Its time for him to pack up his bags and leave for Paris. Footbal is about winning and there is no formular. This applies to Kalu lead FAZ. Judokas wanted money to go Ukraine and what we hear is lack of funds yet funds are there for ichifumpa game. Even Chipungu is not helping matters. Our premier League is nothing to talk about and now I understand the frustrations of most soccer fans who now prefer English Soccer on Big Screen. I have given up watching the local league. Most matches have a low score margin 1-0, 1-1. How do we expect these chaps to perform better at National level when the league is in shambles. Simata Simata where are you my man?
Ba KALU ne ule lyabo Renard can just go to hell and save us our tax payers money.I think we should just ban football in zambia and concetrate on ensuring that ‘kanitundila’ wins in 2011.
Let’s not spoil the Egyptianz party. There iz no need for us play our lungz for the Afrika Cup, where we’ve been a 101 timez. After all the Pharaoz would be better representativez at the World Cup.
# 11, you’re a joke!
I think it’s about time they renamed the ZAMBIAN footbal team. Good luck chipolopolo boys.
The faster the bow out of the Africa cup the more money we spare for the liitle progression in the country it can bring. All the best to the players all the same.
I need to go to the store and buy my ulcer medicine for saturday. Good luck lads
iwe LT ,u should write good english OK…..its supposed to read “EGYPTIAN FOOTBALLERS ARRIVE” not “egypt arrive” zoona kwati chalo chonse icha Egypt ichafika????
