  1. UGANDA should not think that wat happened to congo brazaville is wat wil happen to us.they wil be disapointed. our boys wil oso not go there 4 leasure but with an aim to win.

  2. Those who didn’t play in Ndola should play in Kampala.
    I won you Renard once more, if you play one of the Katongo brothers ahead of better players, then dont blame God.
    And to you Chris Katongo, don’t think God is a Zambian, Lesa ni malyotola, the best you can do is not to go to Uganda. Honor your parents.

  3. L.T Mayuka now plays for Southampton, and he has played 1 game aginst Man U when he was pulled and taken down by the man u great defender called Fednand, and this satday he is playing against Asernal and he will score…so get your facts right guys….

  4. I have serious concerns about FAZ and their Herve Renard. It does not pay to be sturborn. Listen to the concerns people have raised about team selection. These people are stakeholders because of the taxes they pay which you use. Can someone tell me the logic behind camping in South Africa, which has a very different weather pattern from Uganda’s? Can’t we find another country with similar weather as Uganda as our camping base? If we fail to qualify, you will see and appreciate the anger of the Zambians. Don’t say you were not warned. Good luck!

  5. Camping in jhb proved to be a disaster prior to the sudan game but it seems the lessons were never learnt. why not camp in kenya? why let the players travel long distances for preps and then long distance again for the game? Why not camp closer to the venue and short distance for the game. This is besides the different weather conditions. This is foolishness by  HR and Faz if we fail they should all pack their bags!!!!

  6. They have to camp in South Africa. It is the only way Mr and Mrs Kalu can have a cut from the monies that Faz or is it govt spends on the team as Kalu’s wife owns the management company that handles the teams preparations. Ubomba mwibala alila mwibala so the saying goes!

  7. South Africas high performance centre is the only of its kind in Africa with recovery pools, high level gym, climate conditioning training facilities etc. That is why southafrican athletes can perform anywere in the world after training or camping at the high performance centre. I think it is a better option than to go and sleep in some ragged hotel and train on some crap filed in the name of “similar climate”. Gents that think camping in SA is not good try for one second to remove yourselves from your one track thinking mindset and open your eyes to the science that is there in the game today. Remove your pre-historic camping ideas.

  8. Big Steve….  Good point!!! Camped in SA and won the Africa cup in West Africa!!!!! Camp in SA and silence the Ugandans in Kampala!!! The players’ and the coach’ mentality are the variables

  9. I guess Renard wants to prove to the Ugandans that last weekend’s win was not a matter of Luck. Zambia won because they were and still are the best of the two teams.

  10. I MISS SINGULUMA and FELIX NZUNZU..the chap is goal getter, am wondering why HR never picks on him. Singuluma may not be effective but given ap oopotunity he scores.

  11. Mbesuma was doing well under Bonneti,he is finished suddenly under HR. One has 2 prove 2 me that HR’s triumph at afcon has nothing 2 do with DB. Under DB Zambia started winning away games but it is stil a pipe dream under HR. To LT Zambia can stil qualify with a loose like 2-1,3-2 plus a draw etc. The BIG question stil remains-Why is it that when Chris scores first others cannot score. Examples are many i.e. Zambia-Bafana Bafana(all goals 4m Chris),Zambia-Eq.Guinea,Zambia-GhanaZambia-Uganda. Ifi muti! Tayapwa bola ya n’ganga

  12. Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article. I?ll make sure to bookmark it and return to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I?ll definitely return.

  13. pls zambians chris katongo has helped us alot,dont say ati ifI bwanga u are wrong zambia is a CHRISTIAN NATION, and wat ever we do we ask God first.HR shud use this team in kampala mweene in goal,mbola,nkausu,sunzu and himoonde in midifield sinkala,chansa,kalaba and chisamba lungu.front line sakuwaha,mayuka and katongo.
