Comment:zambian players don’t play with there hearts
Yes, which is okay, since they prefer to play with their hearts.
As long as pf is in control of Zambia with their bad omen we will never win the afcon again.
Please lets leave politics out of football. The Zambian game needs to improve, period.
Even though it was the time when PF was in power that we won the AFCON. What do you think about that?
