  1. LT do not plagiarise. This is yesterday’s story you have just ‘plugged’ from BBC. You must acknowledge your source. Sha!

  2. We are out guys!, I didnt realise that the problem was this big – Cameroon, Gabon & Tunisia.

    We are out.

  3. Things are bad for zambia. so cameroon have no players from the famous south african league.

  4. It is surely first round out.In our case the team comprises some clubless players.NI ya how iyi kanshi?

  5. Meanwhile our Zambian coach is still looking for unknown striker based in Angola for possible inclusion in the team. Anyway viva cHiPoLoPoLo

  6. Oh god ! u guys have no faith…he he he . Anyway the last time Cameroon looked so hot on paper , we demolished them at Independence 4 – 1 and it took them so many years until Ghana 2008 to hit back with a similar scoreline despite some showdowns in between . Egypt a team we have now drawn with twice in recent times actually beat Cameroon twice in Ghana .Togo another team…Zambia beat to top the group b4 the final round of the 2010 world cup qualifiers has since beaten your dreaded Cameroon .In fact all the teams in this group including Tunisia have had a smack in the eyeballs at the hands of Chipolopolo .A friendly in tunisia 2 -1 and 2-0 at Independence . Gabon ,we all know .So i don’t think so highly of these teams though i know Zambia has performanced badly recently . Relax….

  7. I read this on BBC. #1 is right, LT must acknowledge source.

    Looks like Cameroon is full of foreign based players. Well, if Zambia wants to lift the cup, they must beat teams like this one, otherwise we should stop fooling ourselves.

  8. # 13. Even Zambia is all foreign players its just the legues stink, ie. China, Angola, Isreal no good. Cameroon players will be playing for places in the World cup. Muchibe ba fikolopolo !!
