Sad for Zambian soccer as sinking now is the order of the day. Next Comoros will over take us!
it’s more like a car without blakes, we need a coach with experience at national level.
We will sink even further under Clueless Kamanga and sturbon Ponga. Infact i agree with those saying that we should pull out of the world cup qualifiers this will save us.
Save us from what exactly??
Since the seeding has already been done and groups already determined, these FIFA rankings currently have no bearing on us. All we need to do is focus on task at hand and that is our games in the qualifiers, focusing on these rankings at this stage is a waste of time and brain cells.
Iwe Big Steve, i am talking about further embarrassments ayi because this FAZ of yours is taking us nowhere.
Is it not better to try than just give up?
Not with this FAZ!
Rankings are nothing when you are on song. When Zambia won the AFCON we were ranked last among the teams at the tournament.
Imwe naimwe ba Zambia, that time the Football House was well organised. We were even one of the best dressed teams. Not iyi muletele without even consulting the committee members. Single sourced so. I thot this is what this guys were against. But it has started happening. Ask some committee members about the Kappa deal.
This is all because of Lwandamina
Chindika, meaning what?
Poor aelection of the team.
But sure zambian football is getting frm bad to waste..Why FAZ are not considering FRANKIE MUSONDA to partner SUNZU at zambian defence coz d LUTON TOWN youngster is ready 4 call up!
FIFA rankings only mattered under Kalusha. They are irrelevant under Kamanga because he is special!Funny!
lets support them bane and lets give idear on how we can improve football now my question is why is it that our players are not improving when they to play in international clubs?
