  1. At least this is promising news I hope Kalusa won’t use it as a justification for trying to be a wamuyayaya president he is planning.

  2. @NDINAWE, thank you for calling them out. These guys have done nothing and Kalu has been in football circles a long time but they still pull the “PHD” Pull Him Down syndrome instead of offering advice.

  3. Kalusha NO MEDDLING!!! Let Fighton finish the job! Elo ba Fighty, please not uku fwala suiti nokwikala CNP nga fyashupa uku! Use your brain! Kanongobilty ifwile yamoneka!

  4. Zambia goalkeeper Toaster Nasabata denied Nigeria four clear chances.While Zambia,kuwawafye we are finished!

  5. It was a fluke?,there is no consistency in our football.Come return leg you will cry to lose at home.Do not have high expectations.

  6. Well played though the away goals rule can cause us damage in the return game. Is that not the way Zimbabwe qualified against us the last time around? It is still tricky though am sure this time around we will triumph
