Now we can watch one of these teams being embalmed on live TV!!!
Oh no, that is bulayibali!!
What has given, is what is known as “hash money” on the streets. This is nothing but a public relations stunt. Zambeef need to clean up their act and stop feeding poison to the masses.
Hoodwinked: you have cracked my ribs. lol
Wow ! Really ?! Kanshi kwalishala nama change kuma adehydes ? Good.
@ Mo taim, muleumfwa.
@mo taim
kekekekekekekekk
sheeee,,, tuli pa cililo.. yaba! sorry mwe
Ha ha ha.
@ Mo taim …Kekekeke how can you start ukusekesha ifwe tuli pa funeral.
Abena Saulosi, we can’t find you pa Elis bar ku Senama… where we went they said it was Namwandwe.
Iyee hehehehe people you are crazy, well done ZMBF, if only other entities would follow your Example most problems would have been gone by now.I really believe you are very sorry for Embalming peoples brains, hehehehehe.
Well done ZAMBEEF! Now don’t smear us butter on our minds and heart to forget ur meat with Aldehydes chemicals you have fed us on. Repacations are yet to come. It is like Hiroshima and Nakasaki. How far has that case gone? It’s quiet why?
This is difficult for me to understand. So if Zambeet had not stepped up, we were not going to watch the game?
Zambia has a high commission in Ghana which has broadband internet … get an employee from the high commission, give him a camera, hook up his feed to the high commission, VPN to Zambia and there!! You have the game in Zambia at a fraction of the cost.
Or they could just accept that ZNBC is a flop and we’ll all just watch SuperSport!!
Expect GRZ to payout millions of dollars as Live online streaming is ILLEGAL…though I will also be watching it on line!
How do we expect to develop when you always relying on handouts, from a purely business point of view are you honestly telling me ZNBC can’t find sponsors for that slot.
After this gesture the natives will surely forget about the punitive actions they are supposed to take against ZAMBEEF!
Bane abena Jay Jay do you have a link to the game, please share?
Is this not money from poisonous meat? Accept it, and the next thing, you have your minds embalmed as well. I hope it is not a bad omen.
why spend all tht money on a losing game when those funds can be used on painting buildings in town…nonsense
The main purpose of sport is entertainment. Win or lose, the game is there for entertainment purposes.
A big thank you to ZAmbeef for making it possible for Zambians to watch their much loved team play in the crucial match tomorrow.
However it is sad that the ZNBC with their perpetual begging bowl continue to let down the people who pay huge sums in licence fees yet it is a fact that if for example the PF orders them to release K70,000 for party use they would quickly fork it out. Surely the ZNBC has become irrelevant and detached from the people and should be scrapped.
Will this game be streamed online? If so, what is the link?
Given that our fufu eating brothers and sisters are many in diaspora and have a more influence voice, it should be. Check wiziwig.tv and footballstreaming.info websites for schedules tomorrow.
*a more influencial voice
So jay jay is a Zambian? am shocked i really thought he was one of those Ghanians who always check Zambian sites.
@Ba Cindy
Are you a newbie to the site (12 months old)? I’m very much a Zambian and very passionate about our game but I can’t stand the sheer shambolic incompetence and corruption at Football House…we deserve better as a football loving nation but it seems some self serving characters are taking advantage of this.
@ Jay jay,
Yes am new less than a year to be specific, that explains it… i now get you, i can understand i have learnt to numb myself though it takes hard work, i hope we can just be spotless in the fotball arena.
Zambia 0 Ghana 2…. I hate to be right in this case, but it is the truth!!!
Trying to be the good Christian nation that we are and taking into consideration how Zambia has been so much of a thorn in the flesh to Ghana soccer pride! I think Ghana deserves to be spared embarrassment when playing before their fans in Kumasi. So no need to apologize for your predicted score line.
#The Bricklayer, it is football here. Zambia will win it, even if Ghana uses a brick-ball and applies a bricklaying strategy.
Zambeef said it is the way of saying sorry.
Corruption! Any way tukatamba.
Foolish brikeyala
And how much did ka fred meembe and the PFost Newspaper donate? Zero. Muletashako bafikala. Big up to ZAMBEEF. Local Nyama all the way.
So its all good with you and Zambeef even though they were feeding your kids contaminated crap imported from Britain? Only in Africa in the US they would have handed the gov’t a blank cheque…smdh!!
Hope our players won’t be embalmed.
