  1. When we tell you that the competition has moved forward where as we have stagnated because of poor administration you thing its being jealous!!

  2. Think before you blame zambian national team. Angola was celebrating its independence and you expect Zambia to go and kill that celebration mood? They just gave away the game as an independence gift.

  3. Lwandamina is too lazy, he has imparted laziness to the players. The team lacks pace, energy, and c ordination. The players are under malnourished, is there a dietitian in camp?
    At the moment Zambia can not beat a team from North and West Africa. Wait for CHAN and U23 competitions to prove my point.

    • Why would a coach impart laziness on his team? The truth is that Congolese, West Africans and North Africans have moved far ahead of the rest of Africa in footballing terms. They are bigger, which helps, and they have more players in the top European leagues. Teams like Mazembe are well run and have money. Zambian football has always been an amateur game until recently. It will take hard work and more time to catch up. Quick plaster solutions, like hiring a cheap expatriate, are not the solution. We need an effective grassroots programme backed up by an academy. I am not optimistic though. The current Zambian football administrators spend more time squabling amongst themselves. They are clueless.
