  1. THIS IS INTERESTING NOW, I HOPE ZAMBIA WILL NOT BE COMPLACENT AS THEY HAVE BEEN BEFORE WITH ZIMBABWE AND LESOTHO. TAKE THE GAME SERIOUSLY AND IT WILL BE TOUGH BAFANA BAFANA ARE UN PREDICTABLE FORGET ABOUT THE PAST RECORDS EYES ON THE BALL BOYS NEVER THINK OF IRIS. TO BAFANA BAFANA ITS A SADC AFFAIR THE GOOD THING IS THAT WE HAVE TWO SADC TEAMS AT KOREA WORLD CUP NEAR KIM JOHN UMMMMM.

    • This Anyoko, kikikikiki he sounds like writing a PF speech. Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Iris, SADC, Kim whatever.. Nothing related to each other….

  2. The Amajita are very fast. we should not give them the chance to score first. if they score first they will just park the bus and rely on counters and we all know what that can result in especially if we start panicking going foward in numbers.

  5. Now what will happen since SA has adapted the Zambian play style especially when it comes to goals. Please Coach take note of this.
