Sudan today ended Zambia’s dreams of reaching the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup semifinals after beating them 2-0 at Nakivubo Stadium in Kampala today.

The Sudanese got the better of Zambia this time around against whom they lost 3-0 at last years Africa Cup finals held in Ghana and 11-10 on post-match penalties in the final of the 2006 Cecafa Cup tournament held in Ethiopia after a scoreless draw.

The defeat leaves Zambia’s French-born coach Herve Renard without any tournament success in his nine-month old reign after participating in two events since finishing 3rd at the Cosafa Senior Challenge Cup held in Mpumalanga South Africa last August.

Moreover, Zambia lost to a Sudan side that lost to Burundi 1-0 on Tuesday and also failed to hold on to a lead after squandering 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 against bottom of the table Djibouti whom they handed their only point of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Zambia began brightly against Sudan with Zanaco striker Roger Kola and Nchanga Rangers defender Elijah Tana coming close to scoring with the 25 minutes played of the first half.

However, that before the injuries started to pile-up with defender Nyambe Mulenga suffering a knock and taken off just before the half hour mark and replaced by Dennis Banda

Sudan took the lead through Abdulamid Amari in the 33rd minute before Zambia suffered its second casualty of the game when Power Dynamos winger Kennedy Mudenda was stretched off with a dislocated shoulder.

Mudenda was replaced by Zesco United striker Nicholas Zulu whom Herve Renard converted into a midfielder for the match.

Sudan stretched their lead in the 62 minute through Eltahib Almahi when Zambia’s defence failed to deal with another long ball from their opponents whose tactics had been given them problems since taking the lead.

Zambia then came close to finishing with 10 men on the pitch though by no device of referee Abdulkadier Hassan of Somalia when Mining Rangers defender Emmanuel Mbola suffered a knock in the 75th minute.

Luckily, Mbola recovered to continue playing with Zambia’s substitute bench exhausted after Roan United striker Derrick Kabwe came on five minutes earlier to replace Jonas Sakuwaha.

The team was expected to fly out from Uganda on Friday to Zambia via Johannesburg and are due to land in Lusaka the same evening.

  5. When is Kalusha supposed to fire this PE trainer? After the CHAN Cup? Is Kalusha ready to take a chance on that one too?

    No comments for now. Let me first digest this.

  13. Go Zambia Go guys mulifikali.But be careful kaaa Nga mwalwalika TIONGE high blood pressure you will be dealt with.

  19. Told you the women s soccer team is better, and pliz don’t call them KK 11 he was never a looser like them, i figure the chikolopo boys is a better name. I could supply them with good green grass, that will help them run better Mbuzi style.

  20. LT

    No comment on this issue. It was a foregone conclusion even before the match started!!

    Matworld

    I have responded

  21. we dont have a team. yet we want to attempt world cup, what a joke. zambia should concentrate on other sports rather than football. very shamefull indeed.

  22. Zambia footballo has gone to the dogs. I think even kalingalinga warious can beat your national team. Whats the problem?? Look at the economy. Soccer goes with the strenhgth of the economy.
    Copperbelt has been down for a long time now…

    Awe chililo banee…..who is hosting the funeral??? I think at the owners of this blog.

    At Matworld’s and BabyC’s homes.
    #:-s#:-s:o

  24. Did they have football boots or militaly boots, these Dafur chaps? Maybe they were intimidating our players.. Anyway the real problem is the coach upto now not able to see that there are no strikers only part time strikers. The midfield is also a very serious are to be looked into. no midfielders. Shame on you players. Im tired of telling them hard luck better play next time. because there seem to be no better next always wallowing in the same circus.

  26. I hope FAZ is learning a lesson. If Something is not broken, don’t fix it especially if you want to fix it with some untested solution. PP was doing fine and we have been take back, back to the drawing board ..what a waste of time, just like FTJ’s ten years rule. Two friendlies coming up and it will be more of the same. Sometimes learn to trust your own people local knowledge can be power.

  27. Matworld

    Lets go wakuti? What makes me cry, is the rate at which the tax payer’s money is being wasted on these boys. There are so many sporting discplines which are lacking finincial assistance and yet when they go out to represent Zambia somewhere, they come back with something. E.g basketball, Boxing etc.

  34. Days are gone for our national team,i support our GRZ for withdrawing from hosting all african on our soil,i think the main reason is to rescue soccer fans from further emberassment’s.

  35. Let the french PE trainer go faster than he came. we are fad up of his services of failure. May be he can find a job at Kabulonga High School.

  41. The Coach doesnt seem to be serious. I hope ba Kalu tabalyamo utuma commission. That Tax payers money nga balabweshako umutengo wabwalwa fye.

  42. Guys

    Dont swallow me it was one way of avoiding depression.Annonymous boyi icisungu tacimpitile,I knew what I was doing I know ifitu nafibipa but some times you just have to make yourself happy,op else you can burst namatumbo yafumina na panse.Hope I have made myself clear. :-j:-j:-j:-j

  45. The headline is saying Sudan boot Zambia out,Why are you blaming abaice,when you say Zambia is a christian nation.Tell me so you wanted the boys to fight back.sudan bacilabomfya ifibaka.
    :-j:-j:-j:-j:-j

  46. am out of this place bye bloggers i wish this was the first new i should have gotten over it by now i cant have supper :((:-h can some1 tell pinkly to give me a:-c:-c

  51. Its not the coach. Our players are just dull and lack initiative. That’s why the chaps cant even perform in Europe. All they do is Kick the ball, drink chibuku and pick prostitutes.

  52. This Renard is no good for Zambia.From the time he has been coach, 9 months now, nothing has come out of this man.A coach who can’t deliver doesn’t deserve to head any team.

    This is a small-time coach who was recruited under suspicious circumstances by his friends.I doubt if he can even coach Lsk Tigers F.C.

    We don’t need this coach!

  53. Ok we have lost, we ar not the first to be kicked out. next game south africa national team vs zambia main team, lets go zambia lets go

  55. My goodness! Another excuse to get drunk tonight! While his was Team B, it says paints a picture of an early CHAN exit. And is a serious demotivation for Team A going in to their largest challenge of the century.

  57. ba zambia lyonsefye ukulusa ninshi.2 -0 kuli ba sudan ninshi.Manager couch should be fired immediately be 4 we face more shame.

    Kalusha utontonkanyepo bwino.

    what more with s/africa/nigeria/cameroon who are coming?

  58. Tuff luck Zambia. Well, cyaan’t win dem all…life’s all about win some & loose some. Hold yu head high!

  59. No. 43 I support you. I think ka pint cabe ndiye kanga sebenze. We dont need Wenger, he will detroy it more. Let the boys just visit Old Trafford for two weeks and they will come back with the game even to reach them to the quarters of the fimo fimo ifi fikaba ba South

  60. KENYA 1 BURUNDI 0

    Kenya tops the group with 8 points, Burundi with 7, Sudan with 5 and at the bottom Zambia with 5. :d/:d/:d/:d/

  61. You see Pipo are runnig away now,because you were too positive that Zambia will demolish Sudan,Sometime its important to leave ka spece ka dissapointment,that’s exactly what I was trying to do.same na nkhani yama Relationships dont love your lover 100% at least leave ka room for disappointments lwenu.Iam just telling you though Nshakwata.Off to buy bread blog with you later.I love you all,please dont lose your tempers mwalafwapofye tu chipolopolo tukanwinepo na Chibuku.I still need your sensible comments here.Peace be with you all.

    Matworld-Nice Guy!

  62. Which team are we gonna beat in Africa now? Please chase this coach before we are subjected to further embarrassment. Ten pin dola per month going in the drain. Kaya.

  63. We live on a rubbish dump especially in Lusaka. Why do we expect miracles in soccer? Ours is a world of sub standards, sub standard Govt, sub standard housing, sub standard education, sub standard health,sub standard coaches, mention it.Unfortunately we are not aware that we are so behind.

  67. The problem is that we are not developing talent at an early age. I visited Angola and was amazed that they have began to ensure facilities for young children to play all sorts of sports. Its no use hirting a coach for ten pin dollar per month if the talent is not there. We may as well field the cabinet for 2010 (we have enough dribblers in it to achieve something) I suggest Silaya as a mid fielder and Mwanga for goalie

  69. Sports are like that, u win you loss

    ____________________________________________

    Did the coach real select the best players for the game?

  71. I have admired Kalusha as a player but other qualities he is below par. Relationships, people skills and other human facing qualities Kalusha does NOT simply have them. Unlike Ucar Godfrey Chitalu who had a fierry temper, Chitalu had people skills and could engage without showing the younger ones that he was the greatest. Apparently, that is what Kalusha used to do as a player coach. He substitutes a player and goes in himself and performs even worse. That Coach he brought from whereever is just a decoy – Kalusha is FAZ president, Coach, technical advisor and everything. I feel pity for such a great icon of Zambian football but he needs to know what he is good at and respect others too.

  74. The Bembas say – ukubangilila tekufika. zambia topped the group and we were in a very jovial state. But see how shallow our team leadership has been. It is all Kalusha bwalya’s fault and his fat ego that guy. He thinks just because he could kick the ball well, he can also order people about and get results – ubepele fye. Fire Kalu and his Coah, they are just wasting our money. At this rate even the world cup inRSA will be beyond us. Fire Kalusha immediately. he is worse than Patrick Phiri. Where is Jani Simulambo please, bring to lead Zambia.

  76. We need to stop participating in international football, until such a time that we have improved our local football. Firewood for cooking an elephant is gathered by the elephant itself. Until such a time that we are ready. We will never win the AFCON:-w

  77. What a disappoint way to enter a new year in terms of football.When these boys come should be taken stright to arakan barracks guardroom.Those who are not ready to die alittle for mother zanbia should stop playing football.

  80. Restructure zambian football. FAZ should no longer be involved in managing the league and then develop players. It is too much for most uneducated chaps at FAZ without any sports education to manage football. Let FAZ focus on developing the dropping football standards. Lets learn from South Africa please mwebantu. No more talking, lets act, lets demand for change, lets demand for results and not excuses.

  86. Well, we have lost. It is a game, a training ground though losing to Sudan and 2:0 is shocking and humiliating. We need to find a good Zambian Coach and not rely on the useless muzungu who is just after a salary.

  90. *Do you know that Eli Mambwe was representing zambia mostly at his own expense.
    *Amon simutowe spents a small fortune trotting the world in search of GRANDMASTERDOM.
    * Our young golfers have been doing great,one small Zedian of Asian origin even came out second at a recent world toney.
    *Our Judokas and Karatekas have aquited themseleves well.
    NOW TELL ME, IN MUGABE’S NAME WHAT THESES GOVT SPONSORED FOOTBALLERS ARE DOING?

  91. Baby C
    Naine chanibaba,but lets move on.King James version ikamba ati Thou shall not cry over spilt meleki.Come on my dear cheer up after all cililo cili patu as #22. Kambongolo said.

  92. Ala Bola yalishupa bane…it’s not easy to score, especially if you have left-handed on both feet like some of our boys.

  94. UMUGAZEBO and FAMILY

    In the name of Mugabe,the guys did a great job,unless you wanted them to fight back.Sudan used boot to kick them vibaka,but as well disciplined chaps they opted not to fight back.Teifyofine mudala wandi?

  96. Amon after attaining Grandmasterdom, came in quietly. No Namulambe or Min of sport reps to receive. Its taken the initiative of a few private individuals like me and Nsakanya to organise a small “WELDONE PARTY”!
    WE HAVE A GRANDMASTER IN ZAMBIA, AND IT PAINS ME THAT THE SMALL MINDS WE HAVE IN ADMISTRATION CANT EVEN RECOGNISE HIM!

    MALABISHI AM LOOSING MY TEMPER AND ITS UNLIKE ME, IT JUST THAT….

  100. This was somehow expected. It is time Renard is removed. But the main problem is the players. There is simply no talent and grit in the team. A shudder to imagine what will happen in Cairo for the World Cup/CAN qualifiers. If we cant beat the likes of Burundi, most certain we wil not beat Rwanda. Our team is completely useless

  102. Gazzie

    Cool down please!!!

    Goodnight Blogger i 😡 you all of you!:*

    Matworld cool down of Gazzie(BSG) before he burns up with rage!

  104. We have had too many coaches but the same quality of players- with no determination. Lets try importing players. It might just help. Twanakaaaa

  105. Sad result!

    We need serious psychologists in our Nation Soccer Team for how can we surely lose 2-0 now when we had a psychological advantage over Sudan since we won them by 3-0.

    Were our players not sure of their assignment in that cup? Did we go to make an appearance or to win the cup? These are fair questions to address carefully if we hope to make it to the World Cup 2010 and the African Cup of the same year.

  107. The results show for themsleves!!!! I used to be an adernt soccer fan for Zambia Chipolopolo….the whole team perished and I dont waste my time now with this Rubbish team. Kalusha and his friends are not good at all in administration,but it is good to give chance to him for everyone to see and stop over rating the man……

  108. #95 Baby C Thanks for the welcome :d
    Where wenze you yesterday? I missed your contributions on “Help clean up LT comments” thread.

  109. The old system of each team in the supper league having a second team will help our soccer standards. There is no competition among prayers in our supper league as good prayers are just selected from training. But where there is competitive second team league, prayers from second team will be puting a lot to take over from those in the first team and coachers will have a good assessment when he see them in action against other team.

  110. It seems we have become the whooping boys of Africa,time 2overhaul the squad and rename it KKXI,kaisa kalambo not first republic president.It could be in the name who knows? :-?:-?:-?

  111. Nine Chale

    Guys imwe nishi ama new year’s resolutions yakukalifya abantu imbafu(ribs)ati where wenze you? Awe nazala kuti mwanjipaya. :-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j

  112. Kalusha has failed to mamage Zambian football. Anyone who doesn’t agree with me is ***** up.
    I believe this entire expartiate thing can never work as long as we obtain unexperienced PE teaachers to manage our team.
    FAZ and govt should develop a sysytem of talent and youth developent through tournaments, scholarships etc and re-structure our leagues.
    This may take time but its better than finding quick solutions that never work.
    its a shame that even sudan can beat us by two goals to nill. Dam

  117. Man Nine Chale,how are you doing?Happy and prosperious 2009.Didn´t have time to get back to your messege last tym and hope you will get this bro……….this goes out to all the Lsk bloggers.A prosperious and happy 2009.
    Maybe the french mentor is working on a petition that we start playing 12 vs 11?This is nothing to be proud of.Big P did much better,records are there to tell.Putting in mind that we are taking these games as preparations for big tournaments,donno which way we heading to but maybe 12 vs 11 will help.Mathematics baba :o**==**==love Zambia nad know e can do better than this bt which way do we take????

  118. We should not get rid of renard zambian football needs a recap bring any top manager in tha world and he will change nothing what we need is to develop our game at club level like we did in the 80s with the support of the mines we had at least 8 competitive teams in the league but today its only zesco and zanaco we have a long way to go

  120. #118 That is why we should get rid of him to save money, use a quarter of his salary to bring back PP and the rest to build academies across the country. We ate just wasting the money on this guy. He will never bring joy to the team. At the end of his contract he will leave and leave us worse than we were. PP had started building this team up nicely and this PE Teacher has destroyed everything that took us so long to build. We are back to square one

  121. Chipolopolo are inconsitent. I suppose you cannot build a national team when the domestic league is broken. It does not matter which national team coach we get; As long as there are no good young players coming through, we will always struggle.

  122. Very sad indeed! Some of us remember the times when Zambian football was amost supreme. We used to beat the likes of Uganda, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya and even Ghana was no much for us. The teams that used to give us headaches were Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Algeria not forgetting Congo Kinshasa. These are some of the names that made Zambia proud: Johnstone Katowando, Ghost Mulenga, Edwin Mbaso, Kaiser Kalambo, Kapela Katumba, Philimon Mulala, Brighton Sinyangwe,Willie Phiri, Bizwell Phiri, Samuel “Zoom” Njovu, Jones Chilengi, Jani Simulambo,Kaodi Kaushi, Ucar Godfrey Chitalu, Fanny Hangunyu, Bernard Chanda, Bernard Mutale, Bernard Chanda, Jack Simbule, Ashious Melu, Jericho Shinde,Emmy Musonda

  124. Continued from 122… Emmy Musonda and many others. These were real footballers and even if one was not in the Independence stadium but listening to the Mighty Dennis Liwewe, it was as if you were actually watching the match. I think the trouble we have is that we can’t accept the fact that we are no longer as good as we used to be. It is a case of leaving in past glory. We need to go back to the basics; the schools both primary and secondary. Of course it requires vast sums of money to revamp the failing soccer standards. In the meantime, we will still support our nation; win or lose Zambia yamuyaya!

  125. #122 Just reading those names I have tears in my eyes, the joy these names brought onto our streets homes and all. I don’t know if 10 years from now we shall ever remember any of the current players. I don’t even know lot of them. they keep changing them like swapping them out like tissue in a public loo

  127. #125 Soccer Fan no 7, to tell you the truth, am glad there is someone I can share my sorrows with. Chaps from Ghana keep asking me whatever happened to our football team. I try to explain but they also can’t believe this downward spiral in our game of football. It is very very sad. You know how your whole body gets the excitement shivers, that is how it used to be for me whenever the KK Eleven were playing. Up to now the Somalis still call themselves “Ucar” in recognition of the late Godfrey Chitalu’s exploits on the pitch. Those were the days, but we have to be hopeful for the future, I guess.

  128. Of course, how could I? I guess they are included in “and many others”. There was also Evans Katebe and Richard Stevenson. I think a sob will do me favours, it is painful!!

  132. The problems we have in Zambia are massive. You cant perform well in sport when you dont have the infrastructure. With the likes of Teta we will never go anywhere. Look at the stadiums, our chibuku drinking players…what do you expect? Lets be realistic and expect nothing. Changing the coach is not the answer. First invest in facilities, academies, properly sponsored leagues……..the list is endless. But with half-hearted ideas…hosting this, withdrawing, we will never go anywhere. SAD FOR MOTHER ZAMBIA

  133. #122 brings back memories when I would sit pa chilata, pa Auther davis and travel to Lusaka with pride to watch my beloved Zambia play the Arabs or any team with confidence, now it’s tears even across the seas. What do I expect when the world cup encounters start!!!. Are we going to field a different team? Is someone capable of analyzing these misfortunes, and clearly address the immediate needs and come up with serious improvements.What language does that PE chap speak to the players, pliz oyo French PUSHI mupeni boot napapata kunu.

  134. snooker and pool can do pa zed they is a lot of talent in these areas i think its time their considered funded it only then will we be proud in terms of sports,i know highly competent players back home with the caliber of paul hunter one such boy is patrick berger,pool will do mark my words

  135. Kalu should bare the blame for hiring some sub-standard PE trainer with no national coachig experience.Iam not being an armchair critic but just from the word go,the PE man has not delivered.Infact PP, the man Kalu was looking down upon,has outperformed Kalu’s preferred PE man. Its there for Kalu to see!!

  136. Whether we like it or not, we do not have a knowledgeable trainer.How can you have a coach mourning about the quality of his players mid way through a tournament? Who chose the players for him? Hes been around for nine months now and you can not point at any local player who you can say is a revelation.What has he done to improve the standards?

  137. Lets face the facts bane. Football is gone pa Zed.Even if you brought Sir Ferguson to coach the team you should not expect any miracles from this team. The copperbelt was the hub of Zambian football, but now you find teams such as Nkana, Wanderers etc playing in lower divisions. There is no investment in sport in general so you dont expect good results. Lets simply swallow our pride and accept that there is no more football pa Zed. I dont even see the point of that team wasting tax payers money by participating in various tournaments where we are always heart broken.

  138. I have been a serious critic of chipolopolo.Time & again it vindicates me.The boys are overpaid compared to other sportsmen, they sleep in 5 star hotels, travel by air in confort but always perenial losers.Next time they will ride on a camel back home.I’m a tax payer, it pains me to waste cash on them.NyamaSoya boasted that was FAZ chairman once & did a lot4football. well here is a litmus test4him. take us2worldCup2010. Yaba bane ni next year yaba!!!

  139. Timbalife,(132) we can’t timba it anymore.You are right, our problems are ernomous.These days it is difficult to mention even four players playing for a particular team. There are big questions that we must be asking ourselves. Football is played before empty stadia. There is no publicity of where the next match is. It is not like those days where if ‘Mighty’were coming into town you could feel the exitment in the air. Please reduce entry charges to stadia, organise minibuses to ferry people, advertise matches on radio and TV, present radio and TV programmes, let us make sport more exciting then we can expect good results.

  140. Yangu Tata WorldCup ni next year pa SouthAfrica!@*%&$#

    Can we surely qualify with this. We can maybe if all teams boycott. I dont see us going there. we should have hired Steven Keshi A Nigerian an African with African Soccer experience who even qualified Togo to their 1st worldCup appearance.he would have told us how to qualify. The P.E teacher shall qualify us to a P.E contest!!!!

  141. I fully support Mpangula #140 & 138 and #139 kanyele. The govt., pays to much lip service to sport. Botswana a country that has more goats and cows than the mere 1.3m people has beautiful stadia and sports developmental programs than zambia. we reaping what we have sowed. The mines improved soccer in Zed. look now Nkana, mighty, Nchanga Rangers all now in divison 1. what do you expect. as Mpangula has said WorldCup2010 yaba in next year!!!!! we should be a porno state not a soccer state.

  143. ZCCM single handedly made our national team. Almost all national players were from Zccm clubs. Privatisation ended all this. Govt has never contributed much, apart from moral support. Unless we got another Zccm-like support, forget about football glory. You are dead without money. Talent is not enough.

  144. Well deserved win over a respetable African team with our reserve/youth national team (first team players have not been selected for this tournment). This is the same team that lost 11:10 to Zambia in last year’s CECAFA final and if the Sudanese football federation can appoint them an experienced coach they will go miles.The players are gaining valuable international experience and some of them can now take their place in the first team.
    I would like to remind those who riducled Sudan (No 9 and 24) that Sudan together with Egypt, Ethiopia and SA established the CAF many decades ago at a time many of you did not even know what football was at that time!

  145. And please stop sterotyping all Sudanese as warmongers/genocide perpetrators. Most of us condemn the fighting in Darfur and the military gunta in the government responsible for this trouble.

    Please show some respect!

    Regards for all others

  146. #122 u left out Moses Simwala, Boniface Simutowe, Joseph Mapulanga, Richard Stevenson,Fordson Kabole, Patrick Nkole, Abraham Nkole, Godfrey Nkole, Zambani Sailota, Clement Banda, Edward Musonda, Ken Mwape,Emmanuel Mwape, Felix Chalwe, Willie Mukwasa, Peter Mwashomwa, Noah Chishiki, Michael Kapembwa, Lee Mulenga, Leo Kamona, Thomas Bwalya, Robertson Zulu, Ackim Musenge,Dick Chama, Shadrack Chungu, Pele Kaimana, Francis Kajiya, Lonesome Katiwa, Felix Chalwe… baiche tamwatamba bbola and at that time takwali egesi even music tamwaishiba lyonse kwimba patugelo yaaa!Zed yaliko akale now I do not what it is…wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  149. I am amazed people are crying for Patrick Phiri, that useless fela who could not even keep Nkana in Premier. Honestly did you guys expect those young boys to win the tournament? Are u also expecting to win CHAN? Stop dreaming. Hiring and firing of coaches is not the solution.

  150. I watched this game, sudan were wearing robes for this game very long robes which were making their players falling all over yet they managed to beat us. shame, Kalu is too pre-occupied with getting ito CAF which is impossible and he is wasting valuable time instead of organising FAZ and helping clinching our top players good teams in Europe. He is so egocentric Not fit for FAZ position too raw & too young in mind.

  152. #146 Viper, you are the man!! You have made my day! Those were the days. Right now ndeumfwa ne fimwela (sorry not too good at Bemba) just by the names you have mentioned. Those were true sportsmen. Like one said on this thread, I struggle to remember 6 names of the current squad. Mayangalo aya! Like you said, even music was superb at the time. Times change indeed!! Thanks for that list; I will now update my archive.

  153. No zccm no football
    How can zamia win without a player from kalampa itimu lyacalo and migty.So guys lets forget about soccer.
    Numba mwila, kapamwe mulenga, king yelow man Estone mulenga, Gibby mbasela,Kelvin mutale,Gift kampampa (kumalo) all Are ZCCm products.
    Malama.Nkana for LIFe.

  154. Pipo let us be serious with the way we manage football in zambia. Politics have also taken centre stage in football. Let us have a right coach who understands zambian football and our players.(e.g Patrick Phiri is a better coach compared to the current one)

    Viva Patrick!

  157. ba zambia,we talk alot and critise alot thats our biggest problem as supporters.people think that firing the coach is the best solution,people were saying the same things about phiri,now they want him back.people should understand that,under the circumstances that the coach was subjected to even ferguson still wouldnt manage to beat sudan yeasterday.you go to a tournament with a team selected by another person with fringe players in it,get several injuries what could the coach do?what am asking for is that lets critise where it is necessary,please and if you really love our team we need to stand by it and support it even when it loses.there is no need to cry over spelt milk but to learn.

  160. this white man has to go,he has not achieved anything new to our eyes,we always qualify and always beat angola, but now weve lost to sudan comeon people ba sudan, theyve only beaten us in the tournament,we want phiri back, let the bonzu go back to were ever he came from

  161. #157 uli chipuba. How do you support a losing team ? This sport like any other is about results. You win you stay you lose you go. Where is Pual Ince? Think man Ferguson has survived becoz Manchester wins. Ricaard at Barcelona out . Why? Bola ku wina period.

  163. tuli muli veve jahme.one zambia one nation we are going to the river where the grasses are full of scanters.Ize ba zambian Chipolopolo lost to sudan shame.Ba boss ba renard why?.we miss you patrick. :d/
