@Mwenya…..u are right man. I was also wondering about that. I think the writer was looking forward to using those words some day and unfortunately wrong timing. Secondly, Kalaba didn’t play 90 minutes. He was substituted in the second half. I watched the game on sabc 1.

You are busy attcking each other , very tipical of Zambians, instead of inquring why Kalaba was left out of the Zambia- japan game! Inthe recent past there has not been any good news about Zambia apart the Rainfold goal! no wonder africa will be third world for life,
