Zambians are occupied with fear and poverty under this dictatorship. No one really follows these silly pf leagues. Just see how many few comments there will be on here.
You are one of those terrorists that will be fished out this week. Watch out.
Funny no team scored more than one goal in yesterday’s games. Tight defences or blunt frontlines…?
Blunt frontlines. Adventurous strikers like Godfrey Chitalu, Kelvin Mutale, Fanny Hangunyu, are no longer being made. Coaches only think of not losing. They don’t think of winning
teams in zambia struggle to score. only zanaco, but where disappoinig also yesterday
