and why were people throwing mud at FAZ when we failed to qualify to AFCON? last time zambia footballers were at olympics was 1986.
Yeah, we have been sketched with the most competitive teams, Yeah, we will face them it is just a matter of believing in ourselves. We should not focus on the team we are up against with what they have achieved, “but we should just be us” prepare for the battle who knows, we might even progress to the next phase. Positivity is all we need and support. come on you chipolopolo “the bullets” make us proud, already we are proud of you to qualify for this prestigious competition. bless !!!!!! I will even sing you a blessing song “Ba Zambia iyee, Ba Zambia chipolopolo !!!
It is wrong to state that Zambia has been handed tough opponents in group F, Those glories where achieved years back . We should encourage our young ladies to go into the tournament with a positive mind set and only think of victory. Nothing is impossible with determination. This team will participate to conquer.
kekekekeke scary, ba Bruce Mwape should give team to Female coaches.
To be the best we have to beat the best COPPER QUEENS ALL THE WAY..
