  2. Win every game. We are supposed to be the giants of East and Central Africa. Well done KK XI. Keep it up. Please ask Liwewe to accompany the team. He is Zambia’s soccer fan number one. I simply love and respect Dennis Liwewe.

  3. #3 ulishilu denis liwewe alikota & plz kk xi sucks.if you do not know
    the meaning of CHIPOLOPOLO ASK

  4. hum, we have stopped being one of the giants of African football, we are now bullying little teams like Djibouti, Sudan, Burundi.
    I dont think we will gain anything significant for the games against Algeria and Egypt.
    well done boys,

  5. #3 ecoed by me.. Win every game. We are supposed to be the giants of East and Central Africa. Well done KK XI. Keep it up. Please ask Liwewe to accompany the team. He is Zambia’s soccer fan number one. I simply love and respect Dennis Liwewe.

  6. #1 thats good, you have praised the boys and not just writting No.1. In this tournament the Chipolopolo boys will go far and they are likely to win the finals. Go copper bullets go!

  7. good, but i expected more goal than just 3, especially after the junior chipolopolo skrewed the same country 10 – 0.

  8. WATCH OUT FOR HARAMBEE STARS KENYA YA MOTO

    IF WE BEAT KENYA THEN WE ARE THERE BUT WOUNDED SUDAN IS WAITING WITH SOME ALJAZEERA PUNCH.

    WATCH OUT FOR DARFOUR BOYS

  9. 😕 hmmmm..lets wait and see what happenz against tha best of east africa cuz to me dijibouti r jst a walk in the park…so far will give tha boyz credit when its due…3-0 WELL DONE!! :d could have been betta like 8-0 or so u know… :-w

  10. That’s better from the KK XI, These KK XI boys will do better than Chipolopolo boys, because the KK XI has greater sentimental value to the Fans than Chipolopolo.
    So I say well done KK XI, you will go on to win the tournament under the guise of KK XI. once again well done KK XI for drubbing Djibouti. I just do hope that against Kenya the KK XI will do us proud.
    Go KK XI go. When Egypt and Algeria find out that they are playing KK XI instead of Chipolopolo, then they will start trembling, mark my words.

  11. Watch Out…..I saw both Zambia Vs Djibouti and Kenya Vs Sudan matches.

    Zambia could have conceded two goals in the second half against Fifa low ranked Djibouti.
    Kenya is very good and Sudan just survived…if Zambia are not careful,they can lose by more than Two goals on Friday.

  12. Well done boys continue with the same spirit.Its unfortunate KCM has withdrawn from paying the coach.Let the business houses come together and do something about this.Shame KCM!!!ATI BA INVESTOR UKO KWINE……………..

  13. awe guys make this a new 2009 present for zambian..
    twanaka ukulolela…go boiz..goooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

  14. We are playing with our B team not A team but still we will win our all coming games god willing
    and we will crack u zambian boys

  15. well done fipolopolo go shoot em goals.pilizi gaiizi bring gory to mother zambia.twachula sana.
