Do any of you homophobes remember when I told you that neither the Zambian male nor female national soccer teams will ever win a big global tournament until zambia legalises LGBT rights? The women’s team was walloped by Japan. You thought I was lying? Good luck. With Spain it will be 10- nil.
You cannot expect a team of lesbians to perform their best when they are playing for a country that doesn’t recognise or respect their sexuality.
@wagner chi-car-lar rotten.
Good luck
Zambia is in very tough group.
It will be difficult to beat the remaining teams.
Good luck.
