Idiot
we chipolopolo, forever it shall be,will penetrate bafana bafana,da names speeck for damselves ,baice Ba SA
No local coach has the intellectual capacity to beat a top 10 African nation which is why zambia cannot come out of a group stage at any tournament or even go to the world cup. We need to hire an expatriate for the national team. The Ugandan coach is the man for the job.
oh what happened to Krol, the guy you were singing about? Iwe John you are a muselelakwakaba, one day its krol, another day its Williamson, now its this serbian or wherever he’s from. eish.
Where Christopher Katongo in the line up
The u23 group stage from caf is a complete error.
Caf grouped the best 3 to 4 teams in this tournament in group B and grouped 3 jobbers in group A.
Caf shouldn’t have grouped Nigeria(former olympic gold and silver medalist), Mali (2015 fifa U 17 2nd place, 2015 fifa U20 third place) and egypt( with the most appearances in futball olympic) and Algeria in the same group. These 4 teams together with Senegal(came 4th at the 2015 fifa U20) are the best teams in this tournament.
Group A should have been: Senegal, Mali, South Africa, Algeria
Group B: Nigeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Zambia
Zambia can qualify from dat easy group A.
Yalla comes to live gentlemen…http://www.yalla-shoot.com/live/7040/south-africa-vs-zambia.html
Guys, wishing Zambia luck, but there is a serious problem with preparation mwe
All african nationa esp teams like zambia etc that are developing needs SERBIAN COACHES!
I have said it bf n repeating again that the serbian coaches though one dimensional with their tactics are tactically astute and highly discipline
The Uganda serbian coach has a strong passion for the game n with a lil pus can become a great coach
4 teams I will love to see next year in Rio 2016.
1: Mali: they’ve done pretty well at age grade competitions this year. They represented Africa well at both U17 and U20. Their U23 team is a mixture of their U17 and U20 team.
2: Senegal: they are the host. Played well at the U20 world cup. A good team.
3: Nigeria: who else if not Naija. Always delivering in age grade competitions and a former gold and silver medalist.
4: Any other serious team from either Southern or Northern Africa.
3 west africans and any other serious country.
None of the southern african nations ll qualify!
Algeria, tunisia and egypt are not there? These three teams are dangerous
Guys, wishing Zambia luck, but there is a serious problem with preparation mwe so we already set these guys up for failure more than success
Go Zambia we are qualifying after 27 years of absence

Let go Zambia iyi feeling nimbama
Even if we beat south Africa we should have at least drawn with Tunisia. We messed up in the first game. We are failing to beat teams ranked in the top 10 in africa in particular Arab nations. In fact I can’t remember the last time zambia beat am Arab nation at any level.
for live text updates follow this link. mtnfootball.com/news/589997/South-Africa-vs-Zambia-LIVE
kapota marking dangerously.. and on a yellow card already.
So far so good. But we need a cushion 2nd goal. The Coach shroud consider taking out Kayame on a yellow card.
Luchanga the 17yr boy !
HT ZAMBIA 1 SA 0
This is a winnable game. If we can’t beat South Africa then then we will never beat anyone at the tournament!
At the moment zambia cannot beat any Arab nation
John, you virtually whin and complain about everything yet you hv no solution…..Honestly you suck…….!!!!
Break
@Kimaaty, he only does not suck but he’s crazy.
Sometimes l fail to understand John. He always wants to bring out the negatives. I feel he is a naysayer. Does he truly supports the Chipolopolo?
Losing to Tunisia was a grave mistake which is the fault of the technical bench!!! We are in a terrible situation now. These south African team will not survive against the Arabs!!! They will be butchered.
Have to miss the second half going into a meeting. My fingers are crossed. Boys need to be more lethal pa goal.
Goallll!!! Zambia 1 – 1 RSA
We are not going anywhere with this pathetic technical bench!!!!
Zambia 1 – 0 RSA
South Africa score after 2 minutes of restarting.
Zambian defence all over with their clearances giving South Africa the chance to striker from close range in a congested area
These local coaches are a huge embarrassment!!!!
46′ Zambia 1-1 RSA
48′ Zambia 1 – 1 RSA
Sub for Zambia: Friday Samu in Ronald Kampamba out
48′ Kampamba out Samu in!
50′ Zambia 1 – 1 RSA
RSA defence caught but Samu fails to capitalize
51′ Zambia 1 – 1 RSA
Poor pass to Sautu is intercepted by RSA and they go on a counter attack and Zambia is saved by Kayawe as he clears for a corner
52′ Zambia 1 – 2 RSA
Corner to RSA and they score
52′ Zambia 1 – 2 RSA
Gift Motipa scores a second in five minutes as the Zambian defence is caught ball watching.
C’mon boys
51′ Zambia 1-2 RSA header. These guys are just so raw.
I repeat and will always repeat our coaches are dull we are not going anywhere!!! Faz headed by kalu is a disgrace!!! Now you call me negative yet is clear and obvious the team selection is pathetic are these really the best under 23 we have??? Of course not f000ls selected these.
Goooaallllll
Hatrick Motipa
Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
S.A 2-1 zamb
S.A 3-1 Zamb.
53′ Zambia 1-3 RSA
3 goals within 6 minutes. What a turnaround.
Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
The boys are crumbling
Why didn’t we leave Ivory Coast to proceed,… These guys are disgracing us!
someone remind me how we qualified …where we give “free points”
57′ Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
RSA having the upper hand in lay as well
Lwandimina is a big f00l together with kalu. We have said constantly that those full backs are useless alas now we are exposed at continental level I rest my case. Zambia cannot continue with the current faz and useless coaches I rest my case.
REST IN PEACE, JOHN
59′ Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
Samu run is checked just outside the box.
SA player goes down and needing attention.
You f00ls who are saying I’m negative I knew we are not going anywhere. Couldn’t you see the dullness of our technical bench against Tunisia
60′ Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
Zambia Sub: Salulani Phiri in for Kapota Kayawe
Benson Sakala drops into defence as Salulani takes the defensive midfield role
Either the section was pathetic, or the crop of players available are pathetic, or the standard of play at home is pathetic, or the administration is pathetic, or the preparation was pathetic, or the players have no vision and john is to blame.
Toaster and Benedict are Zambia’s let down.
63′ Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
Good counter attack by RSA but they are caught offside
This Zambia U23 is really crap. It s indeed tough being a Zambian at this time. Everything is just crap.
lol
Eish…….
Surely how can you concede goals in a space of ~10 minutes? Useless team. Zambia U23 ni fima kula.
66′ Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
Not clear where the goals will come from for Zambia
Haha
The usual nay sayers will have a field day on Zamfoot today….. My prediction is that the word vindicated will be used over 500 times by close of business tomorrow
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA herh. JOHN WOULD BE VINDCATED
how come toaster has not made a dive in all three goals?
68′ Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
Luchanga tried to hit the ball from outside the area on the turn but its not accurate and goes over the bar
I said it’s rubbish!!!!
70′ Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
Good defending by Sakala and he pushes up to help attack. amounts to nothing for Zambia
70′ Zambia 1 – 3 RSA
Zambia defence again cut to shreds by RSA but ref flags for offiside
mental weakness. u start second half relaxed, they score u.. confused. they score u again… peplexed. they score you third time…. dead
I couldnt agree more..
Goooaalllll Billy Mutale
72′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
Corner to Zambia after Katema short is deflected out and Billy scores from the corner
Why can’t you f00ls admit I’m right. This should now serve as warning to the nation team. Lwandimina should not be allowed to handle the team in the group stage. National selection should be transparent. Mayuka must come back, fwayo, kola,mbola, etc and those silly full backs have to go. Those I’m telling you are not the best under 23 zambia have. Someone chose those players. The one who did is too blame and we all know who it is.
Zambia 2-3 RSA (Billy Mutale)
75′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
Chepeshi cross on the right is cleared by RSA.
Zambia has evened the possession now
S.A 3 vs 2 Zam
johnfufwayo
Surely the most successful football nation in Southern Africa is showing class. Viva SA
Indeed
toast,chepeshi,body and kayame have cost as an olympic place and most funny part is the same mentioned useless lads are part of the senior set up.
After sate sate got out….
Local coaches lack technical ability. But you guys cried for local coaches. The government does not want to pay for expert coach.
John don’t call us fools. You may be the one of such if you enjoy such language.
Minister of sport said if anyone can be paying the salary even now an expertriate can be hired. How long did this U-23 side train and with no friendly?
Its I’ll prepared.
77′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
RSA corner….
Zambia clear but again poor on the second ball like when they conceded… Nsabata to the rescue
This Toaster dude is so jittery. Still down 2-3.
78′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
Lubambo goes down and looking injured….
but he picks himself up
How old is that Zambian with 18 Jersey number. I think he is too ‘young’ to play for U23. If that guy was a West African we would have been hearing alot of things now
81′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
RSA keeper goes down and is being attended to
3.-2
http://tvtoss.com/pages/player.php?ch_id=652750609&ctd=1&t=Sports%20Channels
RSA will be the biggest loser here if they should gift zambia a third goal.
Zambia cannot defeat senegal but RSA can stand Tunisia. Going to the tunisia game with 3 points will be ok for RSA.
85′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
87′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
Zambia Sub: Spencer out Aubrey Chirwa in
From the first whilstle Zambia lost its system even now they are playing chipantepante
Guys let them go.we wasted our chance.just a game.
Hello Duncandinho, please keep taking care of heart patients here!
89′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
As it stands, Zambia will be the first team out of the tournament
Lack of preparations has come to haunt us again,this will happen to the senior team also if Kalu and his administration are still bent on Fikaisova philosophy.
89′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
Chiirwa cross is cut off for a corner
technically we are not good.
90′ Zambia 2 – 3 RSA
Four minutes added
Cipantepante kwati ni Fwayo.
We need Sunguluma!
When is the next bus/flight to Lusaka?
Fulltime
South Africa 3 – 2 Zambia.
Zambia Out.
Back to the drawing board before we get on the plane.
Accept our coaches are useless,and will keep on saying it on this blog that , paul katema is not national team material and sorry no hard feelings for him .chepeshi and boyd allows clinical crosses which have resulted in to opponents scoring. bring in an expatriate i can assure you these player wont make even a bench.
SAD to see our football go down like this.
Hehehehehehe, as usual losing is the Zambian way. Congrats South Africa. Well deserved win. As for Zambia, hehe, you have the ocean to cross.
players
Ladies and Gentlemen these team is full of failures and coach is clueless……I said we are out wen we lost to tunisia……it’ s final we are amakula
Same story at Afcon,Under 23,under 20 and Under 17 africa cups we are mere participants not competitors………….no frendlies no poor travel arrangements……if a mouse stays for a long tym it becomes part of it……..we need a revolutionalist and strategic leader to remove inferiority complex against arab teams and to inspire players to maintain the lead afta scoring goals
I rejoice the most when zambia wins because I suffer the most when we looses
Chipolopolo we are chipolopolo we shall continue to be
Absolutly not enfact he is a foreigner
Here we are, the drawing board hasn’t worked yet again.We Zambians are not serious in what ever we do be it in elections.Where was Bruce Musakanya,Evans Kangwa,Emmanuel Mbola,Malambo,Julius Situmbeko Larry Bwalya, Davy Daka and that Goalkeeper Nsabata shouldn’t be near to any National team,he is useless.He costed us a game against Japan and today he has done the same.Sate is another useless creature,that is Renard didn’t like him.
FC LUO So u mean Zambia is scared of the white(Albino) Skin? Hard luck to Zambia.As usual it is a learning process for the U23 team. they will use the experience gained from this tourney to improve Chipolopolo. My very question is when is Zambia going to graduate from their school. When will their national teams cease to be learners/Students to be come graduates?
Our soccer is gone to the dogs. We need change at the top. I will say it our local Coaches can’t take us anywhere. They have a LID when it comes to a certain stage.
Both Tunisia and RSA had average teams but they managed to beat us. This says something about our soccer????
@ Rascozy Bro true…….good statement and analysis…..the fear the north africans the white albino skin…..even the Afcon we won we failed to beat Libya we drew…..coz of inferiority complex…platers think ther are our colonial masters
I mean players fear north africans the think ther our colonial masters trying to exchange them for Bata if wen them…..look at Moise Katumbi he has inspired them to overcome Arabs teams and remove inferiority
john and positive thinkin.its like we tha only ones who realise kalu ws a gud footballer bt pathetic administrator and coach.hes in it for business so he cn sell players.no future pa zed
local trainers are a let down ,faz has tried to put them were they are now.but in return bullshit ,rubbish results nonsense
