  4. We are still MOURNING his EXCELLENCY MAIKO SATA, no time for friendlies and we are neither scared nor moved with these teams sizing each other. Zambia already has a high profile friendly with KENYA playing on 12.12.14 on their independence day in NYAYO stadium KENYA

  5. Is that what you call high profile match? Cameroon is known for losing games and Algeria is not athreat. We are meeting Brazil and England these are high profile games Not Cameroon!!! Hahahahahahaha

  6. We needed to play high profile friendlies like Spain, Brazil, German, Portugal, and US. It really doesn’t matter if we lose that’s why its called friendly. Japan Vs Zambia match was good even though we lost.

  7. Yes,we can play all those friendlies,but Zambia needs to study all their opponents’ type of play and approach each game effectively as required. In my opinion,it hinges more on the technical bench to come up with an appropriate team for each game,making right substitutions,,,.
    Was very disappointed,after friendlies with Japan,Brazil and way we faired in first two games of qualifiers.
    With proper management of task at hand,Chipolopolo may go a long way.

  8. FAZ.first congratulations for the team for qualifying.secondly the group which we are in is not that difficult for us to go through to the next round.Thirdly the team should not be overworked during this time such that by the time the tournament starts our players will be fatigued,therefore try and organize training matches which are not of very very high magnitude.Zambia can beat any team therefore am a bit skeptical of having friendly games with teams who have qualified for the tournament,for example instead of playing SA we would play Zimbabwe or Malawi,Tunisia we could play Egypt etc.
    Zambia we love you ,you have made us proud once again and looking at the groupings we can easily go through up to the semis without meeting the other tough teams it s just a matter of planning.
