  1. AISHA, GIVE PRAISE WHEN IT IS DUE , JUST CONGRATULATE GREEN EAGLES ,IT IS NOT A FLUKE, KALU THE FAZ PRESIDO ONCE SAID , FOOTBALL IS A COMPLICATED GAME BCOZ ,THE BALL IS ROUND AND IT CAN ROLL IN ANY DIRECTION EVEN TO THE DISBELIEF OF THE KICKER (PLAYER),REMEMBER HOW JOHN TERRY DURING THE EUFA FINAL MISSED THE IMPORTANT PENALTY.IF HE WAS AN AFRICAN HE WAS GOING TO HANG HIS FOOTBALL BOOTS.ZESCO SHOULD NOT BLAME ANYONE,NOT EVEN GIVE AN EXCUSE OF HAVING PLAYERS IN THE NATIONAL TEAM ,EVEN US WE HAVE KEBBY HACHIPUKA -FORMERLY NICK- NAMED AS ZAMSURE DUE TO HIS ACCURATE PASSES.-MUTALI KUTU DINGAMINI BADALA

  2. Are the defences tightening up or the striking forces blunt (siyonola)?.
    Certain terms in zambia football are now almost non-existent.We dont read of braces,hat-tricks.The only time we hear of these terms is only in Cup games where a supper division team is playing a lowly division team.
    Come on strikers show the desire/passion/knack for goals beause the defence at national level is a circus so club level should even be easier.

  3. Number 1, sorry dear i will not support Green eagles bcoz of reallocating the team to kabwe after supporting the team and some of my frends are dead, no legs, no ears and no husbands. I support individual players at national team level e.g zamsure.

  4. AISHA,LEARN TO FORGIVE AND FORGET , SO MANY PEOPLE ,PLAYERS AND SUPPORTERS HAVE PERISHED IN THE PERSUANCE OF GOOD RESULTS IN SOCCER AND OTHERS SPORTS,BURRY THE PAST YOU CANT RE- MAKE A PAST EVENT WE DID NOT PLAN THE ACCIDENT SO THAT WE LOOSE LIVES,EARS ,HANDS ANDS LEGS ETC JUST RALLY BEHIND THE TEAM AND THE DEPARTED ONES WILL REST IN PEACE.

  7. Number 4 i have heard. But i dont think i can 4give them now may be sometime whe the team they brought here Bulders qualify into premier. We are on number 2 on the table. So let ur green eagles be. Regards.

  8. Bola Pa Zed abaiche Makula. How are we going to score against National teams if we can not score at home in the local scene. We should spend more money in setting a good under 11 foundation which would later produce quality players. Hiring expat coaches , camping overseas,, all this cash can be spent on teaching more local coaches.
    Our priorities are wrong so guys be prepared for some huge disapointments. Pipo cannnot afford health care and we spend a fortune on soccer Minyama perod!!

  9. ine wa warriors nili che ziii nikuverani musabaila.just wait for my team soon we are taking over supremacy.njanji ni njanji.

  10. This is what u get when the only formation the local coaches know

    or play is 5-3-2…u cant win with those sort of plays…

    too defensive..!!

  12. Clumsy challenge by Francis Kasonde led to a freekick which Zim took the ball come off the post Mweene was beaten.Though the Zim keeper has been much busy of the two.

  13. Mbuzi I agree with you. FAZ should introduce an under 16 league. Each club should have such a team as a Reserve team. This is where we can polish young players. FAZ should also ensure brand names are revived. Nkana, Warriors, Mighty,Stylish Roan, Brave Rangers all bring a certain fever to the pitch. These teams make fans passionate and players become enthusiastic because they dream of featuring for such big names. Its these players who become big names. Zesco dont carry this kind of brand name aura. Any good businessman will tell you this.

  14. Tana welcome bak prove urself mu cosafa challenge. we nid 2 pull up our pants in the second half. the game is a bit slow n the blame is on the artificial pitch. roger kola n mayuka r tryin tho not havin gud passes. 0-0 halftime.
