  1. All Kamanga haters and Kalutards are disappointed. Had Zambia slipped, they would have come all guns blaring calling for Kalusha to come back

    • Kalu has brains my friend. Kama Ngandwe is a disaster even before he was born he was a disaster to our football

  2. Kamanga cimona pwi pwi pwi pwi. In his tenure, no OFCON. Awe sure Kalusha come back sir. We love you

  3. Do we need to play high profile friendly games in order to improve our FIFA standings?

  4. One game result should not be the determinant of a nation’s football ranking. Some games are played for formality which may not give a true reflection of the team’s overall performance in the under review.
