Looking at the performance that Kalaba is reportedly to have displayed yesterday, I feel that Peter Kaumba should include him in the U23 team. Both teams need to field strongest possible members available. Namibia and a few other teams have already started to prepare for CAN, we need to start immediately.
CK # 4 I totally agree with you.Peter Kaumba should include Rainford Kalaba in the U-23s.The game against Ivory Coast will be a very tough game.If he had played the boy in the other games against Senagal the team wouldn’t be in the position the are in now.I wonder why the coach has dropped him cos the guy has been performing.Definate canditate for Zambian Footballer of the year 2007.
