  1. It’s only under pf that we won afcon. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. In fact I was in attendance. Kz

    • This time around under the tutorage of the new chipolopolo coach in Milutin Sredojevic we should qualify to the 2020 world cup. This should be his goal

  2. And what has happened to the team since afcon 2012? That was RB’ Team, no wonder Sata allowed RB to leave the country To go and watch the final. In fact since that time you slapped that female FIFA official, the team has been dreadful to watch. You’re bad luck, mi nyama maningi. Akali tole Kobe, Iwe cockroach.

  3. If South Africa got this draw their qualification would be guaranteed. Can we say the same about Chipolopolo? I don’t know about you but I can’t. WHY. We are not serious. This is a grand opportunity but we may blow it. It’s NOW OR NEVER.

  4. At least we have avoided our boggy teams, Nigeria & Algeria!
    This is a very fair draw, provided we, get our new coach in place ASAP, select & prepare the right players, and make sure of maximum pts @ home…

  5. Comment:

  6. When 90%Zambians cannot afford one time meal a day, let lungu and his children play soccer. They are overweight and need strenuous workout.
