Zambia can still qualify to Russia World Cup -Kalusha

Share

Fussball International FIFA Task Force Football 2014
Kalusha Bwalya says Zambia still has a chance to book her maiden appearance in the Russia World Cup 2018 despite landing a tough draw.

Kalusha who is a CAF Executive Committee Member said World Cup draw is always difficult but called for early preparations.

“Today’s draw no exception for every team and every group. Group B, Chipolopolo has had the better of Cameroon and Nigeria in the past. Algeria has always given us some sleepless nights,” he said.

“Prepare early, put everything in place and get ‘good’ results and set the pace in first two games then you are up and running.”

He said Zambia has always played better when facing bigger names.

“The bigger the names of the opposition, the better Zambia plays. Have confidence in this group of players and you can see what happens. Anything can happen in this group. Teams will get points off each other and that can be good for Zambia. Believe in yourselves. It’s tough but it can be done.”

  1. Qualify with George Lwandamina?FAZ must employ an expatriate coach immediately.We still have 3 full months to prepare before the first game in October.
    FAZ must look for a Polish,Croatian or French coach then attach 3 local coaches to understudy the coach for a period of 5 years.

    • How can FAZ hire an expatriate coach when the most important stream of revenue for FAZ, the sale of replica kit, is shared and controlled by kalusha and his gang??

  2. Fazexit is right!! We can’t even win Cosafa and y’all dreaming of doing this without kalusha ? How long was Sir Alex coach of Man Utd, Wenger at Arsenal or Platini in football admin for Euro? This is not a game for novices.

    • And where is Platini? You don’t research you are just good at blind boot licking…you are also comparing a football manager to an administrator.
      Its numpties like you who are taking us nowhere as you only know how to drink mosi and bootlick.

    • Iwe chi jay j you are an ass. Hes given you a number of examples you ignore them and go for Platini because he’s the one who fits into your bird brained argument. The fact is the usual suspects has a very strong argument. Since Kamanga took over Zambian ational team soccer has been disastrous

    • Yes you are very good at insults..congratulations….Is Kamanga a Football Coach who handpicked the current Part-time coach without even a contract? Do you know the difference between a coach and an administrator or President?Do you remember what the PE teacher’s assistant said when he left? Was he getting paid? What happened to those so called experts from Bolton, Mexico and other countries your God Galu handpicked…they came for two months saw the shambolic administration and ran away!!

    • Ba JJ .mwabetole you can see the insults being thrown at you but you can t see the Insults you throw at Kalu. Why do you call him a dog? You should therefore be prepared to be called an arseholee since you started it you dimwit. Stop asking shiit questions for which you have your own jaundiced answers

    • @Jay Jay Please tell the MF Platini is even banned from the Euro Championships! One minute he is organising them next minute he has been barred! Tough that’s life!

  3. This is the only way Zambia will qualify for the 2018 World Cup….

    Nigeria come to Zambia, we draw 0-0, we go to Nigeria we lose 3-0, two weeks later CAF awards Zambia 3 points because Nigeria fielded an ineligible player…. Total 4 points collected….

    We go to Cameroon we lose 2-0, we come back to Zambia we draw 1-1, 2 weeks later favor yaba Yahweh as they call it Cameroon Disqualified ifwe 3 points, why? Cameroonian defender played despite having two yellows….. Hehehehe Zambia ku World Cup….. 4 points collected….

    Twaima twalupita!!!!!!! Algeria

    Ifyongo ku Algeria balelwafye ama bomb iminshinga shani Shani Zambia awarded 6 points

    Total points Zambia 14!!!!!!!

    There you have it……

  4. Thanks Kalusha, I like your objective encouragement to FAZ and the team. Ignore postings on this blog that are meant to divide people, some people cant stick to the subject. Some of You dandala head bloggers. The man is saying we can qualify and is not talking of coming back to FAZ. Mbuzi izi! Thanks Kalusha for the encouraging words at the same time wishing Kamanga and his executive all the best.

    • This is the role suited for this Galu and should have been his role in the first place like Pele is to Brazil as an Ambassador not a Football administrator…let him go out and promote African football like Pele does with South American Football where he enjoys dinners with his white trophy wife.

    • I be never seen such a hating arsehhole like this j j punk. Let me meet him in the Lusaka streets and I’ll give him a hiding

    • This is the selfsame mindset of cadres and the reason we have political violence…why should you give me a hiding? Have I insulted your grandmother or mother or sister or your provider…really laughable.

  5. Please dp something about the kit. The colors are fine but the quality, it is like it was boughtt at “Salaula”.

    • Why dont you ask the Galu..he lied that we still had a contract with Nike yet they had terminated it due to him and his cronies who were manufacturing Chinese fakes…

  6. Galu is so useless and myopic, he left things in a mess…FAZ was a one man organisation everything went through him and his wife in RSA. The Galu should just continue enjoying life abroad with his muzungu wife….where on earth do you have a part-time coach for the no.1 sport in the country…up to now FAZ is stilll relying on taxpayers!!

    • Very true. Even FIFA were he is looking for a job will look at the mess he left at FAZ. Grassroots football is none existant to FAZ not getting revenues from replica kit sales.
      After 10 years at the helm FAZ is still bankrupt with match tickets being printed in SA.

    • We have moved on but let’s not forget that who ever is in charge now is starting from scratch as everything left by your dear God Galu is in mess..surely a FA run from a mobile phone in RSA…really laughable.
      At least the new regime is incorporating young smart brains like Ponga something this God of yours Galu wouldn’t dare do as he is too dull and corrupt not forgetting selfish….what have you got to show for his work at FAZ that is tangible? Not even a small training ground.

    • Stop spewing shiit. There’s no starting from scratch here unless for those looking for lame excuses like you and Kamanga. Any goo d ..manager should know what to do when he takes over any Institution. You and kamanga know you I.herited an admin with an afcon title. Match that or even better, Beat that . we did t hear KALU sha crying about what he Inherited. He just went ahead and got us the afcon

    • So you say you won AFCON but have absolutely nothing nothing tangible to show for it…continue drinking mosi and bootlicking your God Galu!!

    • This is why I say Kamanga is a **** for not handing evidence to ACC as this will come back to bite him as bloggers like the ones above will start saying Galu was clean, honest guy – you watch this space!!

  7. Kawalala wachabe chabe iwe. What you stole should be enough to set u for life. If you’ve gone broke already, you’re as useless as I ve always thought.

  8. Kamanaga has no capacity to deliver and has no track record of delivery at any level. Hiding behind kalusha and his record won’t last. Even the appointments at FAZ do not give us no hope of qualifying for Cosafa let alone the world cup. The best thing kamanga should have done is hire Kalusha as a consultant rather than make him an adversary. The most successful countries collaborate based on strengths not this Zambian PHD syndrome exhibited by bloggers like Jay Jay and others like him.

    • Consultant for what? Corruption – fake jersey making and ticket racketing….or how to obtain “free” loans from prospective World Cup host bidders.

    • Jay jay is a sonofabeech who knows nothing except mudslinging and farting from his mouth. The bugger failed to acknowledge our winning AFCON and now he wants to continue ukunya amasushi pama website yabene. Start your own where you can shiit the whole day with those of your likes. Hes got such a urine infested view of Zambian football. Wheres that Gibby Zulu guy who shut him up?

  9. Objective advice Kalu. It’s a pity we have fools who don’t heed to great advice. God bless you my man.

  10. but what criteria was used for the draws? has the seeding method been abandoned or did kalu do a don’t kubeba on FAz via CAF? lumping three successive qualifiers in as many previous world cup editions in same group sounds ridiculous and injurious to the game.except for group B, undoubtedly the group of death we should expect some boring rounds of football in some of these groups

  11. Jay Jay please you really hate kalu.What has he really done to you?I have never heard you passing good words on kalu, tell the nation may be he made luv with your wife leave kalu alone his time has come to an end at FAZ talk about things that will help kamanga to run soccer in zambia.It is not good to waste time on things that will not bring progress.Kalu has done his part he has his own CV.This time is for kamanga give him his chance to prove himself as he wanted that position that kalu hold.Iam encouraging you to talk about how zambia can qualify to 2018 russia world cup.The group in which zambia has been drawn is being rated as a group of death which is not easy.The preparation should start early.MR kamanga show the nation that you can work otherwise you will regret for that position…

    • Go to the article posted by LT where Ponga is talking about the group …I have posted a positive progressive article.
