  1. DISQUALIFY CAMEROON HOW CAN A GUEST HUMILIATE THE HOST 8 – 1? VISITORS MUST ALWAYS BE HUMBLE, TO SHEPOLOPOLO A WIN OVER LESOTHOIS NOTHING COS. LESOTHO IS A SMLL PROVINCE IN SA, CONCENTRATE ON KAMELUN AND MAZAMBIKI. I SUGGEST JOURNALIST WHEN REPROTING WOMEN SOCCER SHOULD JUST STATE THE SCORELINE, NO COMMENTARIES, THEY LOOK FUNNY WITH LADIES NAMES

  2. Go Zambia, goooo!
    Go Shipolopolo and gun down every opponent violating your path to glory.
    Well done our ladies, Zambians are so proud of you.
