    • What if some of the players will be over 20yrs by the time the match in Korea will be staged. There will need replacement that will affect the performance of the present U20

  1. I hope Bowman will secure another 20,000 tickets for soccer fans to go and watch the young chipolopolo in Korea!

  2. This is a repeat of 1994 Africa cup of Nations Zambia vs Egypt semi Final. At half time Zambia was down 1:0 Second half Zambia beat Egypt 3:1 An equalizer to 1:1 came through Elijah Litana

  3. Yes I do agree that Fashion should not have caused that silly Yellow Card. It was very unnecessary to go in the semi finals with avoidable errors. Its a shame. Its too early to grow big headed. The young lads should be cool headed and the sky will be the limit. Please a word to Fashion. However, big THUMBS

  5. After the tantrum by hh donkey about people from eastern over his so called “petition” now these boys Sakala and Daka, hh must be mauless. Poilor tribal UPNDonkey!

  6. Congrats guys, you are the up coming senior Chipolopolo. Show the big boys how it’s done and Fashion, you have got a long way to go…

    Discipline makes the sky be ones’ limit but pride will make your roof-house be your limit. The journey has just started, but I big up yo you !…

  7. Looks promising. A word of caution to Fashion…you’re a damn good player but keep in mind that the world is watching and so are current and future employers. A positive mental, emotional and physical attitude must be your number one priority. Bola panshi chilumendo.

  8. The articl was written in horrible English. The author should seriously consider using his/her / its native tongue and lingo for writing.
    The misuse of cliches and a “copy and paste” writing style seems to be at the centre of the problem.
    1. 100% unbeaten run. 2. Use the term “rally” only when you state what they are rallying from 3. Learn the use of the apostrophe 4. If you didn’t mention the word “goal” how do you use another in the following paragraph. Another what??? 5. So the player put a scissor kick in the net? Really, not the ball but a kick? 6. Quit using English cliche’s like brace and hat-trick, that’s like saying “pomo”.
    Please learn that a paragraph expresses a whole thought. You’re using several paragraphs to express on thought. Your English stinks

  9. Congratulations to Zambia Under Twenty National Team.The fans have spoken;Keep Iris away from the lads.You may unleash her on them after the competition !

  10. Boys I am proud of you, you look fit physically and mentally. People will say things that will not even relate to soccer, or the good work you have done so far. Never mind them. A Zambian is a Zambian, weather Bemba, Tonga etc. just unite as a team and achieve your goals. God bless
