  1. Iwe ka PE Coach, where is Andrew Sinkala, Edwin Phiri, Chris Katongo, Felix Katongo & Moses Sichone. This is the time to start blending the team. How long are you going to continue to experiment and build? THis is not Physical Education kapalala iwe. This is serious business and I want to watch Zambia here in 2010

  2. HR should learn to listen to US the fans. Why doesn’t he want to call upon Sinkala? He is the “ONE MAN” we really need in the engine room of our team. Ayamba kunikolesha manje ine uyu coach watu. Amso tikakangiwa kuyenda ku SA 2010 WC tizamupisha chifukwa chantota. (Someone please translate that to Renard for me)

  3. Iwe ka Renard you want to say Sinkala & Sichone are old at 30 when in france chi Zidane chaleteya nepala?.Immediately we fail to go to SA go back where you came from tulaponona kuno ngole tumpa

  4. LT have reported incorrectly.

    Chris Katongo has been included in the Team. Clifford is also included in the team as he has replaced injured Felix Katongo.

  5. Good Squad, considering its a friendly.We need to build confidence in the ranks.Morocco arent a bad choice for a friendly.We need tough practice matches. guys stop mourning over players of yester year.If the players arent included in the squad they are either injured or havent made a good enough showing to warrant an invite.

  6. One fan thing about our coach HR is that he has never talked about anything tactical in football,all i hear from him is the talk about our bad football pitches

  7. who is this coach and what kind of material is he made of that he can leave the Katongo squard out of the lineup. We have stoped playing games and should we lose, we are going to kick his ass off Zambia.

  8. all we need is to support the boys, we have got all we need, renard knows y he is putting who in the squad. go chipolopolo go! south africa………..here we come!

  9. coach, are you sure Tana and Mbesuma are fit for this game? They have been off for some times. all the best boys.

  10. 18# Aisha Mwape Miti is not an active Football player anymore He has retired and He is in Zambia drinking Sabuku. {Chibuku} I was in Denmark when He retired from Odense Football Club

  11. HEY LT U DELETED THE REST OF MY COMMENT AND DATS NOT WAT I SAID WATS WRONG WIT U!!!!!!!! LT STOP DRINKING CHIBUKU MAN!!

  12. PF suppoters don’t disturb our soccer ,”PE coach kwisa?” Mwalilusafye ama election ichifukushi chise chipwile muli coach . WOOOOOO!

  13. Tamwaleka bola bane??????
    I hope Zambia wins so our country men can all unite and smile all over again.
    Tuleumfwana bane!!!!!

  14. Go ZED Go~!!!!!!!!!!!!! give HR chance to build a team, Felix is injured but those other old legs you are talking about may not do us good, remember what happened wen Sichone last played, Sinkala yes but Sichone i have no comments but let him concetrate on his life after football we don’t want the LITANA and WAWA Chongo life, let these chaps start investing. we need fresh blood and i see light at the end of the tunnel, 2010 we will reach the quater final. Fwayo Mwaice Ku finaya fima Arabs, Mbesuma is slowly gaining shape he will soon start scooring..

  15. Iwe ka #3 (Soccer Fan No. 7) May be you are not in Zambia. Chris was selected and Felix is injured. Its chaps like you who cause confusion to our football and the nation at large. Learn to research before ku bwetuka.

  16. THERE IS NONE THAT CAN CONVINCE THE NATION THAT WE DON’T NEED ANDREW SINKALA AS AT NOW. IF HE HAS DONE ANYTHING WRONG LET’S FORGIVE AND MOVE FORWARD FOR THE SAKE OF THE NATION.

  17. Andrew Sinkala himself confessed that his absence from the team has something to do with the Current FAZ executives. They told him idiomatically that they cannot mix oranges with Apples. The crop of current FAZ executives is embarrasing. We have witnessed silly decisions they have made in the recent past. They are there for their selfish ambitions and not for the well being of Zambian Soccer. We want to see Andrew Sinkala put on National Colours. FAZ should put aside the gradge they have for Sinkala for the sake of well being of Zambian football.

  18. Am happy that my boy Jonas Sakuwaha has been called in the team the young man made Zamtel fc cruise from division 2 to division 1 then to premier when zesco snached him from Zamtel fc. we ar back Zamtel fc

  19. I was one of the patriotic Zambian soccer fan. Not any more.reason we the fans are patriotic the team is not.check our silverware record. meanwhile soccer players in Zambia are the most feted. they sleep in five star hotels, good allowances which boxers who bring honours dont even dream of. Another qualification and another disastrous campaign that will end up in mathematics. check how Swazi, Botswana and the likes give us problems.local sides are always booted out early in African championship. COSAFA yaba a pipe dream now. all this and we still cheat ourselves we the best.Just Like Nyama Soya.

  20. Reading through the sqaudplayers teams they play for, made my blood boil.

    Why are our players [;aying in micky mouse and kangaroo leagues. we have ba Great Kalu who claimed has contacts when vieing for FAZ Presidency, so it meant BIDVEST in South Africa or what, nulonga was better than ba Kalu. what has he helped with his connections? See DRC players all over, same with Ivory coast, Togo, Ghana and Nigeria. Our current football adminstrators are crooks.

  22. Kitembeya Reprimanded; There is corruption at FAZ HQ. alot of it. THe time I was very much a soccer adminstrator I witinessed cases where if your club was selling a player over seas the officials would start putting in all sorts of spanners. At one time I took a check for FAZ’s 10% transfer share the GS refused and said I should pay in cash.The tme we had Paulsen as our National coach some former player from England influenced FAZ to pick the late Porterfield(am sure brown envelops..)This contributted to our failure to win the 1994 CAN. I notice that this love for money started after the departures of the Mtine(Tom),Phiri adminstrations. This has actually killed soccer.

  23. its really sad that some people are still counting on some finished players……..the selection is ok but sinkala is still needed in the team!!

  24. Egypt is stronger, but it is a derby between Egypt and Algeria

    ————im sorry ….zambia out——————

  25. iwe # 6 are you irriterate or what, teti ubelenge ati clifford na cristopher are on the list of the team?….you should ask for felix katongo, he is not there.

  26. the team looks goog except on the mid filed, were the hell is Sinkala and i hope that this new coach doesnt come with his experiments on coaching like bukard zeizer what ever his name is

  27. Dear football friends in Zambia , I hope it will be a good match between our nations . Enjoy the game – we all love football .
