Zambia hope to put their short-changed dispute behind them on Saturday when they face a sore Cameroon in both sides penultimate Group C match in Kumasi.
Patrick Phiri’s team boycotted training on Thursday after allegedly being short-changed U$500.00 of the US$2500.00 per-player winning bonus promised to them.
Zambia beat Sudan 3-0 despite an awful display in their opening game last Tuesday and currently leads Group C on 3 points, level with Egypt who beat winless Cameroon 4-2 on the same day.
There will surely be talk of the money issue becoming a factor should Zambia lose or draw against Cameroon.
However, it should not be an excuse and a convincing performance against the four-time champions will redeem some doubts about Zambia’s real prowess.
Furthermore, it is a match the Zambian players stand to lose from more, long-term, than the fans back home with claiming the scalp of a major African football powerhouse like Cameroon enhancing their own value and profile.
The biggest plus is the return of striker Christopher Katongo from Brondby in Denmark and midfielder Isaac Chansa of Helsingborg in Sweden.
Katongo and Chansa were serving one-match suspensions from accrued yellow cards for the former and a red for the latter in the qualifiers.
It has been seven years since Zambia and Cameroon played each other in a 2002 Japan World Cup qualifier played on July 14, 2001 at Independence Stadium in Lusaka.
The match ended 2-2 and the highlight of that match seeing two breathtaking goals from each team by two players who have since passed on.
The first was a spectacular striker by Marc-Viviene Foe in the 52nd minute before Chaswe Nsofwa raced through to equalize in a match Cameroon matched straight onto the pitch from Lusaka International Airport just an hour after landing from their Johannesburg training camp.
Only four players from that match have returned for this weekend’s game in Kumasi with Ian Bakala for Zambia the only survivor in Phiri’s current squad.
Cameroon have goalkeeper Hamidou Souleymanou, defender Bill Tchato and Joel Empele who had an interesting midfield duel with Gift Kampamba in the battle for the middle of the park on that Saturday, July afternoon.
Empele will be hoping to reign again but with Chansa back in action, Phiri will take a bit of comfort although nothing is certain should Jean Makoun find his rhythm.
Striker Samuel Eto’o who scored a brace against Egypt is set to play his first ever match against the senior Zambia team after failing to turn up for last meeting in 2001.
And Zambia Phiri knows his well documented weakest links from back, centre to front have they some work cut out for them against a Cameroon team hoping to quickly erase that bruising 4-2 defeat at the hands of the defending champions last Tuesday.
Meanwhile, in their second match of the day at the same venue, Egypt face bottom of the table Sudan.
Like Zambia, Egypt will be hoping to make it two-out-of-two on match day two and hopefully secure their quarterfinal place with a game to spare.
mailo tukaba tuta
Hong Kong Kasonde, did you see Samuel Et’o licking his lips as the Zambian defenders fluffed about ???
Lusaka Times naimwe.Zambia certainly did not play well against Sudan but they were not awful.Other wise the wouldn’t have won if the were really that awful.The word awful has a connotation of ‘very bad’.When a team loses 5-1 then one can say thats awful.I am not saying that a team can’t win despite no playing well no.
The Cameroon squad is ageing and with proper tactics, Zambia could just steal the show! Regardless of the result tomorrow evening, our youth-filled team seems talented to compete favourably for the 2010 tournaments in Angola and South Africa.
Good Luck to the boys tomorrow.May His Grace be with you tomorrow as you battle for the mother Land.Have a lovely weekend guys!
Let’s go Zambia let’s go
Z chipolopolo will are going to make it to the finals of the tournament this time and hey the boys will bring the cup back home!Chipolopolo and Arsenal for life!
Very interesting comments. The best is to sit, relax, watch the game and accept the result. lets go Zambia
Zambian for life
But for sure mwacilamo ba Lusakatimes. Zambian’s performance was not awful.
Comrades,
(1). Zambia WILL not lose a single at AFCON 2008.
(2). Tomorrow, we ARE scoring 2 goals
(3). On Wednesday Zambia WILL score 1 goal
Thanks and see you after the Victory
Whoever is analysing the games Lusaka Times is not facing reality and has been consumed in this idea of dismissing anything Zambian.
As much as I understand the weaknesses of the team, I strongly disagree with this could of analysis as it is likely to mislead the audience because it contains strong language and half-truths.
Lusaka Times please, we expect better from you and we deserve better than this.
Due to a number of mistakes in my earlier submission, I wish to resubmit my opinion.

Who is telling the truth concerning money for the team? Check the FAZ web site, read their story and compare to the POST’s story and the Lusaka Times’.Anyway, after watching how Ghana strugled to beat Namibia last night, I think Zambia can do it tomorrow. If they can get 2 quick goals, Cameroun will panick and our boys can dictate play. Fingers crossed
Even amid negative sentiments from certain quaters of the media, Zambia will display a good performance and most likely win the game.
FAZ and Govt must behave. This is not an opportunity for some disgruntled chaps from these two organisations to fill their bottomless pockets. Pay the boys what they were promised. Muletusebanya ba mambala. Who will you change.Everyone its chekelako. Mwachilamo ubupupu.
We shall not be discouraged in anyway.
Zambia for life.
Ba Kemps(15), the one thing the “boys” and indeed the nation has is basic footballing talent.We still need to work on personal,tactical and administrative discipline to take the game forward.I hope for our sakes lady luck smiles in our direction come Saturday.It would be nice to see the smirk that was on Samuel Et’os face wiped off.The Eurosport commentators prior to the last game had us as chumps…it would be nice to hear a change of tune!!
A win is a win no matter how achieved.Show them balumendo.
i have already started singing……… zambia inga talipo bonse aba niba ngwele twalayi zandamuna mailo bale dabwa x2 come on zambia…… 2-1 i saw the game chris katongo (pen) and chamanga header…………. u heard it here first
no. 11 born rich iwe boi ulapepa fwaka iya kosa taumfwa lol!!!! but ulifye.
Guys open up your eyes,,we busy discussing win,win and yet there’s a crisis in camp,GIVE THE BOYS THERE MONEY! it’s $2.500 not $2.000, ba Zambia bukabwalala,,they want to keep the $500’s in there pockets,,what kind of people are we? so dishonest and it’s a shame. And,,,you expect the boys to play their best.
BROTHERS! am constantly amazed by your comments. anyway, lets wait for tomorrow.
PEACE BE WITH Y’ALL

Give us Cameroon our daily bread, Oh Cameroon our daily bread we look forward to eating you mailo, our daily lion beef, viva Zambia, viva
With reports of match fixing attempt for Benin coach, I hope we will not sell the game. Neyi poverty nokufwaya bumwine.
But Gogo!!! Lads
#13 Kemps u know what anyone with a football knowledge konws and understands that at an event likee AFCON one has to be carefull esp. in group matches cause what matters are points, when (and not if) we get to the kockout stage will things change. I my opinion we have a team. I have watched all the games and beleive me we are going to surprise many. Look at Ghana they struggled to beat Namibia, a match Zambia could have easily won. I put my money on zed beating our daily bread Cameroon
Big up Lusakatimes you guys you really understand soccer than most of these so called chipolopolo fanatics,your analysis of the game between Zambia and Sudan yes for sure was whatever you said I totally agree I have been following the reports on BBC sports and I ready the reporting of the same match there was nothing inspiring or interesting written about the game and these are proffessional sports reporters who analyse the matches in depth but couldn’t find anything to write about the two teams
#21 Iwe kamwenya kikara, finshi ule fwaya pano
#28 calm down mune, tell of any team that has played polished football up to now, things have changed AFCON is no longer for uku iku itatena, those days are long, what counts now is to get beyond the group stage and go on the knockout stage, that is where inta 10 ment comes in mune, Zambia have a good team, Cameroon are rubbish, Egypt are good too. Right now Ivort Coast have big problems Vs Benin 0-0 as at now
Zambia skipper Christopher Katongo has insisted that his youthful team will not be intimidated by the pedigree or the raw power of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon when the two teams clash in a crucial Group C tie on Saturday.
“Cameroon may be four-time African champions but they will have to prove this against us on Saturday. They will have to fight for everything,” said Katongo, who is expected back in the team after he was suspended for the opening group encounter against Sudan on Tuesday
“In football today, there are no longer underdogs. We are not as famous as they are but we are hungry to also make a name for ourselves and one way we can do that is to beat them.
“The game is also not about raw strength. You have to be organised and play as a team so that after 90 minutes, you will have something to show for all the hard work.”
Even in the absence of the Brondby striker, Zambia’s leading scorer in the qualifying series for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations with four goals,
the Chipolopolo scored a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sudan.
“It was great to watch the team win against Sudan. It was very important to pick up the full points. And now if we work harder against the Cameroonians, we will be playing in the quarterfinals.”
Zambia, who have also been boosted by the return to fitness of two players from malaria, have won three of their 10 encounters against Cameroon while four of these clashes ended in a draw. The Chipolopolo have scored 19 goals as against
Lusaka imes editors must be serious the way you analyse games otherwise you will be fired.
gentlemen how magadecomics budget.Is it favourable
ZAMBIA WILL DO IT.eTO WILL BE OF FORM
Iyee!nachilota Zambia wandi
Iyee!nachilota Zambia wandi
Aleya Aleya mama uwaya waya Zambia wandi
We are going to lose to Cameron tomorrow 4-0.
Less parroting, wait for the d-day!!
Hey Abdulaziz, go stop the fight between your Allah boys. Check this from BBC site:
“Sudan players were embroiled in a fracas with an Egyptian TV crew on Friday, just 24 hours before their Group C clash with Egypt..”Suddenly people from the Sudanese football federation went nuts start cursing, throwing punches, broke our camera assaulted me and my director, five or six players started hitting my director in a very ugly way.”
moscow russia stanina fuma apa!!!!
Moscow, what is Moscow anyway, the fact is we shall not loose to Cameroon
#42 you dont know wat you are talking. Be real. Try to face facts. Your team is weaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak.
iwe SR if u want remain a doubting thomas ifwe natwishiba our boys will give us a good performance if jose was our coach he would have told abena jacob ati ‘bane apa we need a result no pressure to win BUT we need a result! be patriotic fwalako black na copper mwaiche ilya game tatwakaluse
Lets support abaice with full strength. May the good Lord be in their hearts, minds, body and possibly play for them.
Kabiyeni baice ni team eiteya temuntu umo.
Courage boys! lets have it for the first time!
Interesting reading although it buffles me that people are so hostile and biased towards each other’s comments without any objectivity. Let’s try and be constructive and not too personal.
Zambia is playing a very game going forward. Obviously we have some work to do in defence. However if we manage to keep a clean sheet, the boys can win considering the power of the strikers.
Abdulaziz walid magandi yako
!!!!!! zambia 4 life!!!!hwhat did you say concerning zambia. Abdulaziz walid ??? we are the chipolopolo boys!!!!!! you will see Abdulaziz walid tomorrow!!!!!
Mwebena Zambia are really a joke. Today you are happy, and forgotten how you were insulting the boys during their training games. Just be neutral the time. Muletaka bola panshi.
I think the only team we should avoid is Ivory Coast, those darks in orange have guy!! The rest are fair, even Egypt will go down to Zambia.
Moscow- Russia you don’t think. you are cursed with Moscow.
If you are really dull please don’t show us your dullness.
You are just Govt student iwe sabaka ,suka,chorinni,kapusita,choti,ublydak,suka ni siini..
If you don’t like the boyz continue enjoying yourself in the bathroom with your hands
Zambia is now coming back no matter what will win.
God is for everyone.
Moscow- Russia iwe ndiwe sabaka suka suka ni siini!!!!
Zambia cannot afford to lose tomorrow. They need to win or produce a tie. The incidence that had occur about the money would not affet the boys at all. I am proud that they stand up for themselves and questioned they payment. It is important that these guys get what they are promised. However,football is what they do for living and therefore it was smart for the boys to be aware of their moneies. The game we be taugh but the good news is, Zambia we have their key plays back in the service.
Ya, Zambians make me laf mwe!! Is that the team you can have all these high hopes for? All the best, we will be watching you mailo. The boys know that from now on, the games will be tough, that is why they need their winning allowances.
GO CHIPOLOPOLO! don’t think about money do it for the Zambians.
I was quite impressed with the team’s performance. I wish our team well. I hope the boys win as i have been assured of free booze at municiple sports club. Go zambia….twanuwa again…!
i think its gonna be a tuf game. the lil boys gonna try to prove a point, but cameroon has the upper hand technically. LET UA WAIT AND SEE!!!!!!!!
We did it before, we can do it again and we shall do it again, Zambia mukaka! Back in 2002 Cameroon had sweat for their money in a 2-2 draw at the independence stadium and the late Chaswe Nsofwa and Roston Kilambe made sure Thomas Nkono stayed on his toes the all 90 mintues. Cameroon was so lucky that day because they had the ref on their side because Kilambe scored the 3rd goal but it was ruled offside. As Chris Katongo has said ‘bantu fye nothing special about them’ Go Zambia go!
Ba ngwele lelo muledabwa Chris Katongo na Issac Chansa nabesa na full force. Samuel Eto’o is reported in the french newspaper La Monde that he couldn’t sleep last night because he had nightmares last night of the Zambia vs Cameroon game. Zambia nalelo ku wina bebele. Zambia 2-1 Cameroon
Zambia captain Chris Katongo had this to say about Cameroon: “We are hungry to make a name for ourselves and one way we can do that is to beat them. Cameroon may be four-time African champions but they will have to prove this against us on Saturday. They will have to fight for everything.” Lelo Cameroon muli muchibe
Moscow and Kapulaziz(Abdulaziz)you are so quiet,wait for 90 min today, luk at Nigeria, black stars,failed to perform, futbal is dynamic no small names,luk at Guinea
I hope ba Kalu is not involved in the row over winning bonus for the players bcoz the wording reaching us does not sound well,am not trying Pull Kalu down am his fan actually from the time he went to belgium.Ba Kalu avoid ama scandle namukula remain a role model for up coming players.
This game will be tough. Let those with confidence continue bragging on the blog at 21.30hrs today. Let those without confidence tell us. We know our team’s defence is suspect and very weak midfield, gents there is need to be objective. On the other hand “old lion” is tired and no longer bites lets take advantage and suprise the masses. This time around is not akapolopolo its CHIPOLOPOLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
guys dont be too exited with beating sudan and hope to beat cameroun i agree with the article in the lusaka times.the performance was no upto our expectations.why blame the lusaka times edita.that was true analysis of that match,lets assume our openning to have been against egypt with that performance that match was going in the world record.lets be fair and call a spade what it is.hoping for some better performance in tonights game because cameroun has weight them selves and fixed their wicknes
#60 why are bring ba kalu in such issues, do u have a problem with our greatest son for zambia, i don’t think he can be involved. anyway lets talk about todays game, mighty zambia mwanamayo!!, i think zed will win, 3-1. lets go zambia lets go
No more comments please!!!We’re winning this match convincingly but I can’t predict the score line lest am cited for a fortune teller.Ta balanda sana.Ni zee guys.
ba davy u are right, zambia !!!!!!!!!!!!!, ask, italy, south africa, roger milla at indipodo, zambia we are great!!!!, mwanamayo!!!
I strongly believe that Cameroun will not have it easy aganist our Chipolopolo boys. A draw for Zambia will be a good rsult. However if the dream I had last night is anything to go by, then there will be celebrations in the Zambian camp, back home in Zambia and Zambians abroad. In my dream Zambia whacked Cameroun 1 nil courtesy of a Chris Katongo goal. I rarely dream and when I do, 90% of my dreams come true. Its 7 hours away before kickoff. Long live Zambia.
Boyi, billy #66 uli mwaume, pantu naine nachilota, ifishinka ati baiche besu bachipolopolo bachimusuma ububi Indomitable Lions, hammering the buggers 2-1! You know i respect your analysis, mune! Lets just Pray that God delivers victory to the zambian camp tonite.All we can do now is just wait and pray. David will slay Goliath today.
Joshua let us get to be srious man!!Why involve Kalusha in this issue? Kalu has gone to Ghana on the supersport ticket, let us not talk about things we do not know waumfwa mustibili!!.Let us consolidated our support for the Mighy Chipolopolo boys so as to boost the morale.Be analytical!
INFORMATION minister Mike Mulongoti has advised Zambians to watch the ongoing African Cup of Nations from bars or neighbours who subscribe to pay television channels.
In an interview after giving a ministerial statement to parliament on Thursday over the failure by ZNBC to broadcast the African Cup of Nations matches, Mulongoti said the government would not give ZNBC the K5 billion needed to broadcast the matches because there were other pressing needs, like helping people who had been affect
like helping people who had been affected by this year’s floods.
He said Zambians who wanted to watch the matches should do so from either neighbours’ homes, taverns or bars that own pay television channels.
“Sport is not a matter of life and death. People are watching through DSTV, GTV and those who don’t have those facilities should watch from their neighbours, taverns and bars,” he said.
(THE POST NEWSPAPER)…GENTLEMEN THATS YO MINISTER AT HIS BEST…WAT A MINISTER WE HAVE…
Ba Kitwe bakaamba,when did Nkono last play for Cameroon? Are you sure in 2002 Nkono was still manning the posts for the Lions? Nadabwa ine mayo!!!
I only the minister did not mean NCC but the floods
I still maintain, as long as the coach has not yet sorted out the couple of weak areas in the team, Cameroon will wallop us by a very big margin.All other small teams seems to have improved in the second games after their coahes worked on their weak areas of concern.It’s not automatic that, Zambia will play well since Namibia played well against Ghana. We need to make a head way with a proper strategy,effective player combinations & utilisation.Our Coahes should read games quickly!
Nifyofine Makai boyi from Thailand. Tulewina.
Sorry I meant to say I only hope the minister did not mean NCC but the floods
Q.T- WHAT HAS YOUR INSULTS GOT TO DO WITH FOOTBALL. PLWASE USE A BETTER LANG. YOU ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING BY USING INSULTS. BY THE WAY WHAT HAS THE BATHROOM GOT TO DO WITH FOOTBALL. YOU ARE JUST TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF BECOZ THAT IS WAHT YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE ALONE. YOU ARE VERY FUNNY.
GO CHIPOLOPOLO, WE ARE BEHIND YOU ALWAYS WHATEVER THE RESULTS YOU WILL OBTAIN THIS EVENING, BUT A WIN WILL MAKE US HAPPY
Guys lekeni ukulaka. Lets just surpport our team in Ghana. Lets unite gentlemen.
This thing about dreams seems to be running wild coz I had one too, where we were all jubilant and extatic about a good result. I strongly believe, without being un-objective that we will carry the day. Simba Lions are tired and that is our strength coz we are itching to get back where we belong as opposed to them who think its easy over us. Nahhh!!
Comrade,
(1) Zambia is scoring 2 goals against Cameroun
(2) Zambia is NOT losing against Cameroun
(3) Zambia is scoring 1 goal against Egypt
(4) Zambia is NOT losing against Egypt
I speak this on the premise that, I have said before and want to say again that “ZAMBIA WILL NOT LOSE A SINGLE GAME AT AFCON 2008”
Someone acused me that “ndapepa fwaka”. I wish they had something to say when i said that Zambia was going to wallop Sudan 3-0. Guess what? It came to pass!!
Long Live Zambia.
Away we go I cant wait for 7pm. Eto’o was quoted as saying Cameroun will beat Zambia and Sudan to qualify to the second round. Eto’o let me tell you something, Cameroun is not Barcelona. You will be shocked.
Zambia 3-Cameroun zero-C.Katongo will score two quick goes in the first half. Chimanga or Jacob Mulenga will score the either. Cameroun kuya bebele
The “nolonger indomitable” lions are essentially going home today. I assure all of you.
die Hard zed we can do it again prove them wrong
GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK GUYS MAKE A NAME FOR YOUR SELF
over Sudan in Group C.
In an interview from Kumasi yesterday, Phiri said the players had been paid the US$2,500 they were demanding and had assured the technical bench that their focus was now on today’s match against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.
“A far as I’m concerned, the players told me there is no problem. They have been given the money they wanted,” he said.
Eish! 15:50 already! Time to get in front of a ka TV bakalamba. You should be moving now and not reading this. Ba “Minister” ati niku tarven nagu ku bar ingatukwete. So what we waiting for.
Ubwali lelo nipa 17hrs mudala. Tomorrow we celebrate!

Belebedenua
Zambian Chipolopolo will shoot down the old lion today. We need shoot it with a lot of bullets so that it dies fast.
Twaya mukutamba!
Zambia has the chance to cause a huge upset of African Soccer tonight. I think we wil be treated to some best soccer the world has not seen Zambai do. We have missed so much of the glory days when we used to beat all giants not less than 1 goal. Good Luck and die a little for Mother Zambia. All my love and support to the Team.Go Zamabia! Fight and Triamph!!!
Guys, I know this is un related to the Chipolopolo issues beíng discussed here but I need everyone’s help. Can some one tell me the translation of this “Uwatwala pa bwingi tonaula” Its a Bemba saying but I don’t know how to say it in English. Iam trying to explain it to a European friend who just returned from Zambia and a ton of cross-cultural questions.
Thanks in advance.
We are winning today we gonna do the un expected sam ETO today will speak TONGA LOZI NYANJA ANd BEMBA we gonna make him cry in ten deferent languages zambia here we come watch out ah ah
#94 This is value of Advise for Africans man. it encourages people to come out in the open instead of pretending all is okey when inside you are boiling. It also encourages working together.We have this ‘saying’ can be found in almost all Zambian languages
Bola Now.. I hope this Chi PP does not play that Chi Joseph Mulenga Boy in the Left..thats our Major loophole
That chi Clive boy should just do tackles instead of ‘ku tilimusha’ the Striker.. Eto is quick fire, he just need a small space..
Looks like we’ve forgtten ati pa zed “kuyamba timayamba bwino, but poor finishing ndiye imatipaya”. We beat Sudan, yes, and it was thrilling for all Zambians. But we cant sustain what we start, we don’t invest in what matters. Twafilwa fye noku building’a Mbesuma sure??? Mbesuma has the potential but we haven’t invested in him! Praising him instead of disciplining him! Had Cameroon been as unserious as we are, Eto would not have reached this far!
This is a big embarrassment phiri job is at stak this cant be happening oh no dem am out do we need a new coach
ZAMBIA CHIPOLOPOLO CHASUMPA. HARD LUCK….? NOW ATI SHANI ON THE SHORT FALL OF $500 DOLLARS WINNING BONUS! IT’S ONLY IN ZAMBIA WHERE COUNCIL WORKERS CAN GO UNPAID FOR 42 MONTHS AND NOBODY CARES…AND YET MPOMBO IS DRIVING A GX. WELL NOTHING MUCH TO COMMENT. NO FREE BOOZE TONIGHT AT MUNICIPLE SPORTS CLUB IN LUSAKA? WILL TRY SOME OTHER AVENUE ..DBL… WORKS.
We will only improve when Zambians become serious with important issues.
You have to know that a big tournament like the Africa Cup of Nations is not where to take inexperienced players and expect them to out play the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Drogba, Pascal, Martins… kuti wafilwa nokulanda… kanshi mukesuka lisa amenso mwebantu. And you allow guys like Anif Adams to be opening their mouths over Tana’s dropping… and thats the guy who wants to stand as FAZ president. NO VISION. We need people who can see ahead.
