Another great “achievement” by Hon. Kambwili, the leading light of PF “intelligentsia”.

I think its low class to put the coach down because of his tribe. People must grow up. However, I do agree to the fact that we desperately need a well qualified coach with a brilliant track record. I hope FAZ will stop being hard headed and resolve the coaching issue.

These FIFA rankings are a sham.Nigeria which has been inactive for months is still in the top 10 in Africa.How did they gain the pints?

We need to take the 12 – 16 year old developmental period more seriously. That’s the time to learn the basics on how to mark, shoot, move with/without the ball! For example, South American countries take the U17 & U20 competitions very seriously, maybe its time we did the same. You reap what you sow…
