  1. nothing special about that team to write home about. am sure zambia’s chipolopolo will rise to the occassion. fimakula ifi. tukafisepa.

  2. @4, Budweiser, our coach has just named the final squad. i will post the final list on this site tomorrow. but it mostly comprise the same old faces with two or three inclusions from the under 20 squad. this, to me gives us an aded advantage as the boys have been together for sometime now and know each other’s play style.

  3. How many players has FAZ placed in competitive leagues in Europe, that bit of experience & stamina helps in the later stages of the Cup..only the likes of Egypt were able to pull it off with home-based players as they have had a well funded competitive club league for years that won numerous CAF Cups. ie Zamalek having won 21 Egyptian cups, 5 CAF Champions League titles, 3 CAF Super Cups and the African Cup Winners’ Cup, is one of the most successful teams in the history of African football. 
    You tell me what Kalu and his team have been doing for past 2 years to make Zambia National Team competitive since Angola. What have they done for Club Coaches in the country, what’s his target for this Africa Cup since we have retained the same coach? Ask him he is using tax-payers money!

  4. It matters more how cohesive the team is than just the fact that they play for an overseas side. Most of our palyers too are baseed outside the country, but that alone does’nt win games. We’ve got to get them to blend into a particular kind of play, which I hope to see them diplay against Bafan Bafana when I watch them in Pretoria in 10 days’ time. GO ZAMBIA GO! EYES ON THE BALL!!

  5. pipo pliz,why comfort yourselves with the go zambia go staff? its plain simple; our players are far inferior in quality than these guys.Ba is currently 2nd top score in the PREMIER LEAGUE.while our own strikers are failin 2 score a single gol against simple angola.best we can hope for is 2nd place in group stage so that we go to quater finals.

  6. Bane soccer is played on the pitch for 90 min the ma sene look good on paper but the team that will win is the one that will want victory the most zed ni bola fye panshi fyatalimpa fye omungulu

  7. Thank god kick off time will be 23hours Zambian time atleast i will have an excuse of not watching the inevitable embarrassing bashing

  8. the fact that we qualified to this 2012 afcon is beyond evil temperament. some pipo like #10 and 12 are naturally evil. England had been to world and regonal competitions without any silver or brass ware but they don’t rush at them like critically critic zambians. wat has kalu got to do in this situation? is he supposed to score or administer a level ground of football in the country?
    Zambia will pass through into the finals with Ghana. We are going to be tournament favorites in Jesus’ name…Amen!!!

  9. @Cheelo Mwiinga 

    You don’t know the English press…they will lift you up then rip you to pieces…If they English media prescribed the selfsame criticism levelled at their team to Zambian players, our boys would have quit national football all together and opted for the easy life of  street vending. England players have the shelter of their clubs and hefty £100K/ week wage packets to fall back on hence can afford to be thick skinned.
    How many times are we going to send our boys ill prepared, ill equipped, why don’t we have 5 year targets and benchmarks. What’s our target for this tour; Semi finals why ain’t we asking the coach now not later imagine a month from now when HR will say our realistic target was Quarter Finals…how are you going to feel then??

  10. bring it on..will teach these chaps how its done in africa..they have 3 weeks to adjust to equatorial high temperatures..but our boys are used to the oven temperatures..its zambia and libya in quarters..

  11. The problem with you guys is that mutamba bola ninshi namukolwa. Zambia is better than ama sene.
    Mwilatina BA english soccer is different from african. GO ZED GO…………

  12. @ the outsider
    who do you think is more accustommed to equat temps,zambian players from southern africa or the senegalese who are also from west africa just near equat guinea?? pipo pliz do some research before you expose your ignorant minds here…
