So what? Tukalya football.Ubukula
Tiger iwe voetsek! That attitude almost killed local football. As a matter of fact local league has a huge following.
#1. Spot on . We pretend like Zambia is this great soccer Nation. Barclays should spend money on helping UTH or Schools for that matter.
Bola Pa Zed is crap.
1 and 3 jealous imwe tumafontini. just becase you can’t play soccer. just shut up and post something sensible.
power do something better than bp top 8.first mistake is not the mistake but the reason to improve.
Congrats Barclay,all the things that u do to the community shud be appreciated. Viva Zamtel fc watch out Zanaco we meet again.
1 & 3 u ar as foolish as your oppinion.
1 and 3, i will buy you tickets ngamulefwaya bambuli. ata.
1 and 3 u r the people who have have killed our local soocer, u always start from somewhere Spain had to wait for 44 years to win the the UEFA European cup, they never abandoned their soccer, but the results are there for every one to see.
Its true, we have to invest in infra structure, pantu even kapale Seyuba Ta tamba bola. Ni job cabe ale lwisha. We know you.
#1 and #3 are illegal immigrants is some dingy neighbourhood somewhere and they can’t watch our local league hence the bad attitude. We spend our weekends watching that soccer and he told them Barclays has to feed them instead of funding football. Work hard and meet your basic needs. This cheap chaps.
#1 and #3 mulimalofwa basala leave the soccer fans alone.
we are going somewhere at least in football as a National!
Lusaka Dynamos all tha way!!!! Lets show Rangers that we are not as simpo as them GOAL DYNAMOS GOAL1!!!!!!
If I am wrong with my comment . Can some one tell me when Zambia won AFCON. When they won a trip to the World Cup. It is the same crap year in year out 44 yrs and counting.
No need for state of the art stadium when these chaps under achieve. We should build another hospital or buy more pharmacutical drugs for pipo. I understand there is only one MRI in the country and one cancer center.
Noti pa Makulu. Ba Kwindi imwe.a
# 1 and 3 are illegal immigrants in some dingy neighbourhood somewhere and it hates them to see things improving here in Zambia because they were selfish when living thinking they will be better than us who remained. Sorry but your thinking is late and we need to develop our sports. The Chinese, Americans, British and South Africans are not foolish to spend millions of dollars on sports every year because they know this saves you more money in terms of health because people are healthy and so you save nine stictches. But you would never know that because you are surrounded by wannabes like you.
#15 ole… bauze!!!!!
#14 how can the guys achieve with no support from your bum-wiping, Zambia-abandoning, perennial-pessimistic kind???
#14. Name a sport the Zabian Governmet has spoent more mmoney than Soccer ? We pay coaches $10,000 USD a month with nothing to show for.
#15. Foolish. Think before blog. Of all those countries you have mentioned, when have you ever heard they have closed Universities becoz of Funding? Have you seen the roads in these countries? We are always evacuating pipo to these countries hospitols and you put them in the same breath as us.
I guess pupils still share text books in Zambian schools as we speak.
Pushi iwe.
Call Pros + Lose Matches = Fire Coach!! Zed Soccer.
#17 sure uli Mbuzi ya mu mpanga called impombo. Why you always think of SAD things like hospitals?? You want to spend your spare time on those trolley-beds or its better to use spare time playing or watching soccer. I wish you mentioned that companies should spend more money in Agriculture so they can grow you vegetables and soya you enjoy wee mbushi. You see even your friend #1 is also an animal, TIGER.
#18. You are another fool who does not get it. Hospitals save lives. Do you know the daily death rate at UTH. Ask your bululus back home it is amazing.
I don’t know what State your in, But here in New York they showed a documentary on Discovery channel about HIV in Africa. They showed Mongu Health Center it was Depressing to see that as a Zambian.
We Chisushi think!!
#18 So you are worried that you have HIV thats why you calling for help? You need to run and laugh my friend to keep fit. Where is New York in Copperbelt? And you want Barclays Bank to sponsor Discovery Channel? If you are Depressed after watching that HIV of yours, you better switch to Fox Soccer Channel and watch some football… We Mbushi wee.
I meant to response #20 for #19 The domestic Impala
# 20. You are not making sense. Read my comment. I am based in New York.Your response is pathetic. No points. I have a gut feeling uli fontini since you cannot debate such a simple topic.
I rest my case !!
BA MBUSHI, SPORTS INFRASTRUCTURE IN IT SELF WILL PREVENT A LOT OF DISEASES BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WILL BE FIT, WE WILL HAVE LESS STROCKS, LESS HEART ATTACKS, LESS ILICITY SEX, LESS OVER WEIGHT PEOPLE ETC. BESIDES THE PROPOSED MULTI PURPOSE STADIUM THAT MIGHT BE BUILT WILL NOT ONLY BE FOR FOOTBALL BUT OTHER SPORTS AS WELL. EVEN OUR LATE PRESIDENT BEGAN GOING TO THE GYM BUT IT WAS TOO LATE HE WAS CLEARLY OVER WEIGHT AND THAT PUT MORE PRESSURE ON WHAT WAS HIS FRAGILE HEALTH. SO IN CONCLUSION WE MUST NOT BE SEEN TO FIGHT THE FIRE BUT PREVENT THE CAUSES. WE ACTUALLY NEED MORE SPORTS TO BE SPONSORED AND OF COURSE IMPROVE ALL SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY HEALTH INCLUDED BUT WE SHOULD NOT STOP FUNDING SPORT
good comment number 23
Mr Kopala. Good points. As a country where are our priorities. Should we build schools or a state of the art stadium? Should we by more MRIs or scanners to detect illness and save pipo or a staduim? Should we build another hydro power gorege ands stop load shedding and improve the quality of living for the nation.
Sport is good but, what percentage of the nation will benefit from a new staduim in comparison to my alterntives.
If Zambia National team was winning cups maybe it would be justifeid. Right now Ba Zambia as a matter of Fact we don’t have a team to win anything Makula.!! Unless the boys prove me wrong I hav seen this stuff to long. Togo and Angola go to the world cup us
whats going on
