The young man should start the Togo game.

Yes it agood result. But do not be too excited. We expect these boys to do better at this stage as we do not expect them to struggle. Its not a surprising result as they should have done much better especially when we hosted them. I will be happy if we are to eliminate the young pharaohs in the next round to qualify to the finals.
Congrats young men, Egypt are next.
Can you wire the next opponent please Napapaata,ala twasebana kuli ba kankuni.
Mayuka to sign a 3 yrs contract with Auckland Breese in Newziland. The deal is believed to be worth $500,000 and he is expected to be netting $1500 a week. The package comes with car, phone and free accommodation.
He will be exposed to better training and will have a feel with teams from Australia and Asia if
It is a pitty that the team he will be playing for is a community team and plays in league comprising of only 8 teams.
He is going to sign the contract if he fails to impress the protugues champions.
Good luck boy.
#29 where did yoi get this data? If its true, I for one wouldn’t advise him to go there. These are the things we always talk about on this block. If he’s attracted to the money let him go there and get finished. PERIOD.
I wish he can only impress at FC Porto and gets a contrat in Portugal.

# 29 I see no truth in your gossip. Find something to do like getting a job or anything like that.
Congats “young” chipolopolo ang hope you make it to the championship in Rwanda by beating the pharoes.
Its a copper bullet wapya iwe pharoe
# 31,anyone can add a comment on this blog Bernard c, u dont have to be a member of anything.If thats what u meant.
#29 stop giving us fake us data, you know very well that mayuka deserves a much better league than what you are writing about. If it was rugby i would have said good for him not soccer mudala, no ways!
The man, are u mad! oh i get it u are stable. ur infromation is stable.
this problem will never cease in zambia,we rush players to play for the seniour team while they are still young,this same mayuka he has not matured enough,we have got alot of players in zambia who have been rushed and end up finished the likes of emmanuel zulu etc these boys cant handle dissappoitment becoz they are still young let the boys first mature and prove in the lower ranks and gratuate step by step,look at messi he was just playing for the under 20 till he proved himself never did argentina rush him coz they knew he wasnt matured yet
even riijkaard waited for messi to mature now look at him,he is a world class,in zambia all we know is money just becoz a player has potential,lets send him abroad and play for the seniour team.kalaba when he was sent for trials in europe all the teams were saying he is young and he failed when he came back to play in zambia his behaviour changed became big headed and if it wasnt for the management at zesco utd kalaba was going to be history,but now he is matured and he has proved,his now in portugal.let us protect our future talent
Ba Kola #37, Good point. But know when to put full stop to your sentence. Its just too long brother. Akasungu yaba, ala bwafya.
ba 38 akasungu kaishile no bwato,naimwe
The feats of our junior national teams show that the country abounds in talent. All Africa Games silver medallists World youth championships finalists etc. This just means at the senior level something is terribly wrong. Kalusha please if you analyse this you will notice that there is no passion for premier league soccer because Nkana, Mighty, Warriors are all struggling. These are big brand names that if rescuscitated will improve our national team. FAZ please plan for the ressurrection of these big name brands and you will see Zambia winning the Nations Cup..yeah even the World Cup. When Nkana or Mighty or Magnificent were playing in Africa Club championships the stadiums were full.
Nowadays the unknown teams we send to these competitions play before empty stadia and are out in the first round because noone cares! Coaching is terrible. There are about three good coaches in the whole country and they are in demand all the time. In Simwala’s time there was Zoom Ndlovu, Brightwell Banda, Ashios melu Michael Kapembwa, Dick Chama, Dickson Makwaza. Stone etc etc all competing for top coaching honours. FAZ please 1 revive coaching and 2 the big brand names and our football will be back on track!!
Please Mutapa include Lamisha Musonda in JUNIOR chipoloplo.
Mutapa Jr. please, the nation technical bench kindly consider Lamisha Musonda, we need young boys who are fast on the ball. Lamisha with the combination of Emmanuel Mayuka, we shall slaughter the Egyptians.
Good results…..hope all the players in the team are under 20 years old.Age cheating is one of the big problems faced by African football.
