huh, Go Go brazil, oh i mean go go Zambia….
Loosing to Brazil can not be ruled out but the dream of every Player should be to test the more times world champions.
Chipolopolo you truly have our blessings. Go and show the world that we are listed on world football map. A draw will be dream come true, South Africa ‘our junior’, almost defended herself before against Bra.
Enjoy wisely
Hope we wont have our players coming with stories of the perfume on Neymar. Iam reminded of a story where some player came to talk about how strong Samuel Eto Perfume was not the game they played.
Ukooo….. lets play team Zambia!!!
Aponaishibila FAZ it is the first time they have done ifyamano. Brazil watchout for the Team and that is Zambia.

Mawe…….. FAZ, dont do this to us. We r used to losing margins like 2-0, 1-0 not 21-0 ndemone yoo!
YOU ARE BACKWARDS, HOW DO YOU WISH ZED TO LOSE 21-0
Ba Sir Jeff, their is no way we can 21 – 0, the problem with you people you are full of fear, you even lose before you get to the pitch, change and improve your fiath for once. remember without faith their is nothing you can achieve in life. I strongly advice you to work on your faith its still small.
Win or loose, it will be good exposure for Zambia
You mean lose. Yes, Zambia will lose because their squad is ”loose”.
Good!!
Zambia will show them that we were once champions. Go Zambia go Zambia goooooo.
Mayo ine!!!!!! 26-0
YOU ARE BACKWARDS,
This is one game worth loosing!!!!
Brazil 15 Zambia 0
Basketball score line. Brazil 96 Zambia 3
Wapya Munzi…
All you are saying Zambia will lose, shame on you! GO CHIPOLOPOLO GO, we are never intimidated by big names. If anything Brazil will fall harder. Watch out for the bullet. Even if we wont be at the world cup tournament, ours is this one playing against the host and former champions.We are really happy. GO ZAMBIA GO!
Ekosulile ekopa noko..the is round & will always be round.Seoul>Zambia 4 italy 0
Zambia 7 Brazil 2
hey dude can i have some of that stuff you have been smoking?
Renard, consider playing Danny Munyau in the goal, and drop chris since we will have Mbesuma and Jacob back in form.
And Supersport 3 will carry this match live imwe bantu, I dont think we will lose by a big margin. Its a dream come true to our boys like Sinkala… Make you exchange the jerseys guys so that u will tell your grandchildren one day. I predict Zambia 1 : Brazil 3. Hope Jacob will make it this tym around… All the best boys
Come 15 October, Zambia National team will shock the World by either winning one nil or drawing against the five time world champions! If the out going coach,Renard, won’t make a stupity line ups, Zambia will carry the day becoz Chipolopolo Boys are very good at playing as underdogs.
@#18. I meant to say, Ekosulile ekopa noko..the ball is round & will always be round.Remember in Seoul olympics >Zambia 4 italy 0. Now with this one, Yes we can do it again!
THIS GONA BE INTERESTING AND IF CHIPO2012LO BOYS COULD BEAT BRAZIL, THEN DEFINATELY THAT WILL BE AN UPPER HAND. I KNOW THE BOYS CAN DO SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES AS AN ENTRY INTO EUROPEAN FOOTBALL AND PRIDE. THE COUNTRY WILL GAIN RESPECT TOO. GO ON THE BOYS DO US PROUD, WE LOVE YOU!!!!
lets be objective here.This is good for zambian football even if we lose.We are now receiving recognision.As usual and typical of zambians we always miss the point.This is not politics.
@#20 Danny Munyau is reportedly injured and may miss the match..as for now we may forgive Chris as he already climatized in china remember when he is in form he makes us proud by scoring important goals.Let wait and see if he had out lived his usefulness.
I feel it will definitely be a scoring draw!.
Bakaponona Zambia. Fyanshi mubalamuna? Sunzu akaifyutula ukula nga bamunyunya kuli ka Neymar.
Its high time we did away with inferiority and bring in superiority we will play eleven against eleven same pitch so don’t be scared Taithi played with Spain and Spain won which saw the Taithans show respect of been humiliated. why cursing ourselves. GO!!!! ZAMBIA GO!!!! By playing Brazil that means they know us especially when they are checking FIFA rankings as they check down a bit they see ZAMBIA so they are intrested too and if they really underrate us they would play against us with 7 men minus the goalkeeper but since we know football they make the best eleven with a tactical formation. I love ZAMBIA.
Like ur reasoning tht is true if they realy a big team as some are claiming let them play 10 or 9 men on the pitch. Chipolopolo al the way!
Problems Found Party.
They are human beings like ourselves, there is no need to fear, they will be 11 and we will be 11, It will be an interesting match to watch our boys doing it in style. I hope China will help ZNBC broardcast the match live .Go Zambia gooooo!!!!!
yaaba fi BRASIL fikatunefa
Brazil 10 Zambia 0 with a few own goals as well.
There will be a lot of shirt exchanges after the game.
Zambia performs miracles in East Asia. Once upon a time in kwanju South Korea, the unknown chipolopolo beat the Azzuri 4-0.
Doubt how you like those without a trace of confidence. iye chipolopolo iye chipolopolo.
Some comments are truly nauseating! Cant you doom-sayers appreciate that Zambia stands to benefit from this match regardless of the result? What ever happened to patriotism? Some countrymen! Awe suwa!
i think the scoreline here matters less. what will be important is the exposure our players will enjoy. this will be the first time zambia will be playing a team of that magnitude. a great consolation for not qualifying i suppose, because we will be playing the team that will be world champions in a few months time
FRED IS THE MAIN MAN, WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
Most of these comments lack substance.
Good effort for zambia to organise such a high level friendly. If it had come before Ghana match it would have added a little booster to our boys. However, the only problem i see here is that our preparations are never adequate. our oponents have already named the squad to face us but i wonder whether our coaches have already drafted a squad for the match. we always wait till the last minutes for us to see who does what. The Brazillian team is also full of players playing in europe, but the team has been set. Why wont we emulate them? they are much stronger than us but they are already taking the match seriously, may be we can learn a lesson or two from.
Good Luck Zambia!!!!!!
Twasebana kwasila ndafya ka messi, tubene, torress maaaaa ni 102-1
For the very first time to be positive with Zambia. David v Goliath (Zambia v Brazil ). 1-0
zambia is full of surprises, munga dabwe ka 1 zero tawina so! lol! lets wait and see,. the stadium is 10 minutes away from my place, im definately watching this one live ku stadium…hehe
zambia 4 and brazil 0. lets go chipolopolo
If Brazil can name their squad, why can’t we? FAZ better be prepared for this match; this is Brazil vs. Africa and not just Zambia. Please don’t embarrass with inadequate preparations and logistics.
The FAZ must name the team and get visas on time.This is a serious game since Brazil are playing Zambia by virtue of being former African champions.Good luck chipolopolo.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.
I still very much doubt this game will take place. But realistically there is no way Zambia can beat Brazil with the current players and technical team. Remember these same guys failed to beat Ethiopia, Sudan and Ghana. The 1988 game against Italy was an U – 23 Olympic competition. Italy were taken by surprise. They didn’t know any of the Zambian players. Zambia was beaten 4 – 0 by Germany in the quarter final after studying our game. Brazil know the current Zambian Team very well.Good luck though to Chipolopolo.
Brazil 2 Zambia 3.
zambia 1 brazil 0. go chipolopolo go!!
@ Kapoli, surely your thinking is that of your name! If you don’t know how to analyse & evaluete football better not comment at all.
My foot this is a disaster about to happen, why can’t the whole team have stomach upset before this game so we can be spared from total imbarasment! Most of soccer fans have developed ulcers from the World Cup qualifying games already .Our position on FIFA ranking is obiously going down. This is as bad as voting for PF, another mistake looming!
Zambia will win if kabimba, oh I mean HH and chamanga don’t play. I think Chimanga ma goals even pa bench. Also let GBM, oh its Mbesuma start with Jacob upfront.
Renard should make it clear to the strikers that they don’t need police permit to score goals.
All cadres….supporters must not be unruly even if Brazil hand us a cricket score like in mkaika
Hahaa!ma koments ali pa mwamba ne shuwa!!ok after that game FAZ should organise ka friendly na Tahiti so that we can wash away the naninani;-).Hmmm as for me bane,i will watch the game na ka bottle kamanzi pambali natu panado mupocket.Uko!Neymar vs Nkausu:-)
@Fabio. m mundala i hav been a plyer for several weeks and i know wat am syn. i hop our players will hav a runing stomac bfor the game ndafya mmmmm twasebana …
This friendly match is a vry important match especially to our players.morever the whole world wil be watching.am also Pretty sure that big teams like chelsea wil send some representatives to tap talented players from the African soil.To me this day wil remain a historical day becoz zambia wil surprise brazil with a win or a draw inspite them havng good players lyk neymar,oscar,ramirres,david luiz, just to mention a few.bt stil we also hav gud players lyk mukuka mulenga,chisamba lungu,rainford kalaba nd so on.zambia wil carry the day.
To win this match we need 100% luck and this is what Mweene lacks and i guess this puts me in front to start the match. NOTE: My Father is a pastor.
Zambia 2 1 Brazil. GOOOO Zambia neymer will be watching mweme…watch out for Chisambadinho.
it gon be a 1 all draw, bliv t or not……………..
pipo,pipo we al dont know who is going to win futball is a game of surprises.but i sure do know one thing Zambia wont go down without a fight.
I have Faith in the Boys. What is key to performing well in the encounter is to handle the pressure when we’re on the pitch. Lets go Zambia Lets go. Chisamba Lungu show what you have. David Luiz Muchibe
Go Zam bia. This a World Cup on its on. We need to show Brazil that we are Chipopolo. Zam 2 Braz 1
Zambia is going to carry the day, i know it may look impossible to the physical eyes but we are definately carrying the day. This is the chance to make a name for our selves, Yeh what an opportunity…
Who wants to bet with me. Zambia is winning, i see these scores Zambia 3 – Brazil 2 if not that then its a draw. Lets bet if you want.
