EDITOR’S NOTE: CORRECTION MADE TO INCLUDE Rainford Kalaba (Zesco United)
No Kalaba, why not?
Of course Kalaba has to be in the team…
the selectors should cast their net wider by including Edwin Phiri, Misheck Lungu, Nchimunya Mweetwa, Fwayo tembo, Felix Nsunzu and the like. Understanf Mbesuma has been picked for the Togo match, why?
Who cares wat i care about more importantly is the result..But washiba in Africa the players performing at the moment are the best and mbesuma defintly is not performing at the moment..but lets see if he still has it.
Yaba Mbesuma kikara in the rotten zed team nafuti kwena…tuli…mb….wa…..wawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawaaw…….e….e.e.e.e.e.e.ee.e.e.e.e.e.ee.e.e.e.e.e.ee.e ishi tuntulu……………nashyo
why can’t god the lord GOD distingiush Zed? I always pray for that
