Congratulation coach Kanyemba, your technical team and the girls on a wonderful victory, a word of caution though, forget about this victory immediately and focus on the next task, as Morocco is a totally different proposition.
Against the Atlas Lioness cubs we will need to up our tactical and strategic game, “bola na Lesa” will not work this time, good preparations are essential to set the girls up mentally and physically for what will be two grueling and testing encounters, the work starts now, on the bright side we too are a great footballing nation, lets show them what we are made of…
FAZ don’t throw away the young team like you have done with the under 17 men’s team
The Women should replace Chipolopolo at all levels. Men’s football died ten years ago. The women should even run for FAZ leadership. Kamanga has done enough to put a slab or concrete on Chipolopolo’s grave
Congratulations girls
