Where is Andrew Sinkala? Renard should know that leaving players like sinkala out of the squad will cost him his job when we fail to qualify to the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola
Wats z purpose having very inexperience defenders.who faild 2 mark useless zimbabweans.ba zambia mule chi vivulako maimwe ala.
Who votd 4 kalu mu faz.can u see hz makin zambia a kantemba 4 hz selfish gain.luk ayew in ghana.kalu z just a failer.
why not calling Ghatuso Isaac Chansa, Ian Bakala, Andrew Sinkala. This coach must go as soon as we lose this game, maybe he should be reminded that this a deciding match weather zambia will qualify to Africa cup or not,hence we need experieced players in this match.
Renard should stope being funny,this is nt a joke.we need good results,this thing of making a makeshift national team is nt good for oour country,while other countries are taking the game seriously Renard and this Kalusha are busy making funny teams.he should swallow his pride and call experienced players like, Ian Bakala,Billy Mwanza,Andrew Sinkala,Issac Chansa,the list goes on.we hav been building a different bational since 1997,we dnt seem to stop having a different team for each game,FAZ be serious ku side uko and stop being funny..
sorry people,i meant to say a different National team,chizungu nichovuta mweee.
