YES MUGABE IS IN ZAMBIA HE CAN AS WELL WAIT FOR THIS GAME, VIVA ZIM, BEAT CHIPOLOPOLO THEY ARE TOO MUCH BIG HEADED AND MANY OF THEM ARE SICK LIKE SINKALA
Idiot!!!!!!! you were not raised well.
#1 you a Zambian fool trying to pretend to be someone else! Be who you are
King Kalu still organising pointless friendlies on the cheap and risking our ranking on the FIFA table. People say he has UEFA President Michel Platini and other top guys in football in his phone book but so far…I haven’t seen anything..he is just hoodwinking the fans with lowly ranked teams. Our friends Ivory Coast have lined up a game with Russia and will are still playing pub teams.
#3 Ba Jay Jay mwaponta zoowona but on the other hand you are right. Its risky loosing ranks to your own bululuzi.
After Zim, we play South Korea. Remember Zim will be travelling. Less cost for us. Who says we shall lose even this one? Let’s use our Mwanawasa stadium.
FRIENDLY WITH ZIM DOESNT MAKE SENSE ESPECIALY IF WE LOOSE THE MATCH.
WELL PERHAPS WHAT WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF IS THAT
THIS FRIENDLY WILL BE PLAYED ON A NON-FIFA FRIENDLIES DATE. A LOSS WILL STILL SERIOUSLY REFLECT ON FIFA RANKINGS WHETHER WE LOSE TO A HIGH RANKED TEAM OR NOT . ANYWAY, THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PREPARATION FOR THE CHAN TOURNAMENT QUALIFIERS TO ME (and some may make it in senior Chipolopolo before long I guess).
Ivory coast can play Russia but we will play Zim Zim and again beat Ivory coast. What do u pipo want? Insulting yo own team??? Mwikesako ku Ndola mwanyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ati pointless friendlies! Make your own team and play your own friendlies, chik@la cha wiso!
