That is the spirit in Zambia now. Keep it up lads, take the mantle from your seniors & continue making us proud to be “Extremely Zambian”.
Please bring us that Cup or whatever it is you are playing for, Congrats!!! Last Night I was reading the BBC Blogs on the Egypt Vs Zambia Game, it was my first time and I read all of them from the time of the game to date; Is that how the Egyptian fans underatted us? I was also surprised at how the Algerians thought of us. That game has really jolted them. How I wish we could mess up Algeria in Algiers, and also mess both of them up in Chingola. Some were even bringing in religious connotations, and they are still wondering what really hit them. Now I wish we had won that game. Lets keep aiming the bullet at the Bulls Eye, or “Go for the Jugular.”
