who need to know the useless squad.
Bo Tripoli, when are you ever starting to be proud of your own? For once in a very long time, Zambia is participating in a Continental Championship with a high probability of winning. Stop being negative about the team and wait to see.
Why do they include Chamanga? We all know lipulanga.
The squard is disappointing, if we lose i wont even be amazed!!! Good luck!!!
zambia national soccer team……..india national soccer team……….cuba national soccer team…what are the differences? someone to tell please!!!!!
I welcome Football Association of Zambia’s plans to play friendly matches before the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations slatted for Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, but i think it would have been better for the team to play one team from west Africa and one from the north, to prepare well for Senegal and Libya respectively. Senegal is on the rise and Libya is not a simple nut to crack. All the best to our lads in their quest for Africa glory.
ba zambia iyeeeeeee
ba zambia chikolopelo….. oh sorry chipolo…… oh sorry yaba chipolopolo
