As earlier reported, Cape Verde national team coach has confirmed that he will field a weakened but competitive squad in today’s Equatorial Guinea 2015 Group F Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Zambia.
The Blue Sharks coach reiterated this when his team arrived in the country yesterday.
The Islanders who have already qualified as group leaders will have to battle with the stress of a long flight and the coach is looking at preserving some of his players who played in the win at home against Niger and hardly got any rest.
However, Honour Janza will be looking to build on his record since taking over the Chipolopolo job which has seen him preside over seven games with three wins and one loss suffered at the hands of Cape Verde.
The game kicks off at 18:00hrs and will be played at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
A FOOTBALL PRAYER FROM KASAMA BOY:
Lord God our father, I thank you for helping us keep this Zambian football blog quite.
Yes we do send our players to India, China, Congo DR, and Sasafrica, but they are the ones who win us the AFCON trophy. Egypt uses players from its own league, and they are the ones who won them the AFCON on 3 consecutive times.
Lord those who send their players all over Europe and have their top striker in Oman don’t win anything in a life time. Let them continue sending them there.
I pray to you, my loving God that we keep sending our players to India, China, Congo DR, and Sasafrica, so they continue wining us AFCON trophies.
Please God just as you have blessed our country with peace for the past 50 years, let there be peace on our Zamfoot Blog, and this can only be maintained if you allow Togo to win. I pray for peace on this blog for the next 2 years, in Jesus’ name, Amen!!!!!!!!!!
And lord please remind captain weenie not to sneak into his girlfriends hotel room.
Don’t let us win Afcon ever again cos we fail to appreciate the white man who guided the team.
We gave praise and honor and credit to ghosts in the seas rather than you
Ooo my country Zambia
Wake up from thy slumber for we still languish at the bottom of FIFA rankings despite our lame claims of being a powerhouse
Please we are afraid of ghana but let them qualify so that the tournament attract more scouts to EG to help Zambian players travel to Europe
Even wanyama of Kenya,aubameyeng of Gabon,plays in Europe
Oh lord why
Oh lord we beg
Our only euro based players mulenga,mayuka,sinkala,sunzu are struggling
Why us lord,why Zambia
We are a laughing stock
West Africa keeps soaring in sports but not southern
This is our prayer lord
That kalusha stop consulting nyantakyi as to how he managed to qualify ghana to three consecutive WC
Please answer our prayers
Ameeeeeeeeeeen!!!!!!!
Amen to that.
This will be a game mind, Cape verde kn very well that Chipolopolo will beat them, Zambia should take this game very serious and throw everything on Cape Verdes, its time to revenge the 2-1 defeat in Perie . Beating Cape Verde will improve Zambia Fifa rankings tonight.

Typical cheap psychological football warfare. Chipolopolo don’t underrate anyone, who walks on the field.
There is nothing like fielding a weakened side, because everything you do goes into the annals of history. Cape verde is fielding a senior national team, not an under 17; under 20; or even under 23.
When we went there we fielded a tired team, jet lagged from arriving in the morning of the game. Do we sing about it? We accepted the loss and moved on. It is already recorded that Zambia was beaten.
So even today, we will only accept that it was a weak team if we beat them 11-0 or more anything less twakana just come for battle.
We don’t care who is playing ifwe ni jugular vein fye na ka useless FIFA ranking chapwa. So ba Kepu vedi limbeni fye bane Exam naifika, yafikilatu. Mwalikwata kale a good and rich CA.
Lol…Cape verd coach is vry clever,its not a weak team is going to use.is playing on de mind of janza to follow his tricks so that he collects six points on zambia
you are already giving excuses for losing?
BALAMWENAKO
That is irrelevant information to us Zambians. We want our team to beat whichever team is put in front of them. On another note i hope the coach has corrected the defensive frailties we saw against Moz. Munthali will get us butchered at Afcon 2015 if he plays in any games. He reminds me of Kennedy Nketani in Afcon 2008. The guy is too slow, low confidence and too tactically deficient. Janza please replace him asap and also never ever play donashano in Nkausu’s position again. Let players play in their proper positions – Nkausu should play in his position (right back). Donashano should only be considered for Sinkala’s position (defensive midfield) if you feel Sinkala wont perform. This thing of playing players in wrong positions backfired numerous times with Renard. We should have learnt our lesson by now.
Well said Ngake..
An opportunity for Chipolopolo Boys to annihilate this over hyped CV team.
On another good note, FAZ might bring back the much liked Chipolopolo 2012 Afcon winning jersey. #BringBackOurVictoryKit
They are at liberty to use the so called “weakened but competitive” side but let us feature the strongest side possible so that we maximise on the FIFA rankings and also kick start our preparation for Equatorial Guinea on a winning note.
We shall win 3 zero. Mark my word. No time for jokes at Levy Mwanawasa, the home of slaughtering. Ask Ghana…
Kasama Boy you are killing me now at work, kekekekekek what a prayer! But you are right.
@ Mumbi wo maama TWE Kankakee for all the Abedi pele,becca talk,totally uncalled for and very unnecessary.
Kalusha has noted that we want a green trip jersey for afcon 2015 finals. Thanks Kalu.
Please whoop their asses we don’t care whether they are weak or not that is their fucking problem. we only care about winning and ba Janza us we want a strong team to be a dress rehearsal for the Afcon tournament so that we can have the right combinations. it’s high time we knew who play’s in which position, we don’t want to start seeing experiments at the finals come january.
True, we can even start practicing with the team (s) to use in EG, our second home ground.
the arrogant ghana men have dissapeared after being hammered in namboole uganda i warned them they would not survive. Uganda is a better team than Ghana.
Don’t you ever get tired of spelling G H A N A in your submissions?
Haba
Until you vanish from our GSN,we’ll forever be here
With our sharp tongues,we’ll mock and mock you wannabes
All knowing,technically gifted,infrared lenses,arm chair coach john
Get a life and stopping hating.
Lets use a strong one with no experiments and massacer Cape Verd. This will send a strong warning message to west africans that we will be in Eq Guinea for a trophy.
How dare you insult our Abedi Pele
His achievements for Africa surpasses Chipolopolo
If you can’t insult kalusha,just respect our Abedi
Poor thing
Come to GSN and talk facts and not thrash
Mtcheeeew
Sate sate and Evans Kangwa should be given more game time to gain experience at that level. We shall rely on these two boys for goals at the AFCON
ukuwina bola nintambi ayd aye ee …ba zambia twalileka ukulusa talala wemwana aye aye.favor
Of course, both teams have qualified but we need to improve on FIFA rankings. This is not a friendly game outside FIFA sanctioned dates. It’s still a competitive game because the qualifiers end today. Cabo Verde can not travel all the way just to honour the fixture. Pride is at stake here. Tell me which team needs to be walloped by a cricket scoreline? These are just mind games. So let’s take the game seriously and hammer them hard.
let the game begin
We should be careful with cape verde they play a high pressing game were we so chipolopolo lost most of the balls in their own half and they(cv) are displined tactically.A win against Mambas should not stop fans from pressuring the players and technical bench.Pressure makes our team to win without pressure they have dispointed us.“Zambians easily forget”,said L.p Mwanawasa.Over praising the players and coaches yet forget the critics that you made that made Janza win you the match.What am saying is Chipolopolo needs a wipe on their back to win you matches.
it doesn’t matter ,,what ever team they gonna use,,,Tule wina!!! lets concentrate on our game plan,,,,
it doesn’t matter!!!!!!! which team they use
this is the reason seto is insulting mumbi for.
Since Dede has a scrotum injury , his papa
Abedi Pele can be a good replacement for his
son in the starting line – up. For the ritual
master, Asamoah Gyan , u can replace him 4
his uncle Bonsam but deploy Kwaku Bonsam
in defensive midfield and push Jordan Ayew
up front .
Introduce Peggy Appiah and Rebecca Boateng
in the 2nd to boost your defence . Those are
the required changes you need if you have to
pick a point against Togo .
Who ever thought Nigeria,Cameroon,IVC could ever be on the verge of missing a tournament
Recently from a much bigger mundial like the WC in Brazil,one would have thought an automatic qualification for the five African reps to the Afcon
But here they are struggling?
Could it be a paradigm shift in power?
Countries like Cape Verde,Uganda,Mozambique,are really staking their claim to fame whilst Zambia,Algeria and SA can only wish the big five will miss the bus
We can only wait till 7pm.
Kasama Boy na Scribe…! mwanjipaya
Awe bali chilamo ichongo ama senesene aba.
Please read: cafonline.com , they are so accurate.
Mind game twakana we are going to hummer you….!!!
we care less about what team cv fields tonight, ise vetifuna nikuwina chase.
Nivake coach uyo natunzelu twa chabe chabe. Mind games for what. And even you ba Zamfoot in your reporting you seem to have fallen for the trick instead of pouring scorn on the remarks. In the event they were to win do you know what would be coming out of that same coach?
Zambia is poised to become champions again, history ‘ll repeat itself.
Pliz Zambians stop bla bla bla about Ghana tok abot zambia guys
Hahahahaha…. See a stupid comment up there. So becos Nigeria, ghana and ivory coast are struggling all those yeye teams you mention are better.
The way you zambians reason some times sef. Funniest thing is that the 3 teams will surely qualify and will be the main contenders. Stupid comments measuring the best teams in africa with Uganda, Mozambique, zambia,togo. Please who on earth Reason like that? Apart from zambians
This Janza character is useless and doesn’t listen. He has included munthali and damashano malama..
Are you a coach,mtcheew
CIV 0 – CAM 0, both teams qualify.
90 nminutes -RENARDS QUALIFIES FOR 2015 IN EQUITORIA GUINEA..
IVORY COAST -0 CAMEROON -0
The boys are running around aimlessly, no pattern! Malama and Bruce are liabilities!
Ghana are supposed to be only on 4 points and out of contention! Without the ghost penalty, Ghana have lost back to back to Uganda!
28th minutes Ghana -2 togo -0 24th minutes WARIS 28 MINUTES WAKASO..
MEANWHILE –ZAMBIA – 0- CAPE VERDE -0 30TH MINUTES
Is Zambia playing? Any updates? Not even a new thread? M travelling!
Cape Verde have attacking shape, Zambia doesnt. They as a team have a better shape. Players like C Katongo, F Katongo, Chansa can still contribute way more than the likes of Bruce Musakanya!
The team has deteriorated under Bomeli and Janza.
FIRST HALF –ZAMBIA -0 CAPE VERDE -0
GAME ON!!
ist half Ghana -2 TOGO -0
GAME ON!!
Donashano Malama is not national team material. I now believe it. This guy should be substituted. Musakanya is also struggling. We need Nkausu at right back and Lubambo at attacking right wing.
This Janza has again included bruce, munthali and malama in the team. He has left out lubambo who did very well when he came in last wk. I feel this chap has started receiving kick backs. Very useless indeed.
Janza is nt a good coach. He z failin to read th game
Patrice and Janza are unemployable as head coaches outside Zambia but Kalushas greed makes sense of their obvious lack of experience! Kalusha’s greed is destroying Zambia’s football, the likes of Patrick Phiri can do a much better job than the last two so called coaches!
2:0 Ghana up Togo down there we go black stars all the way Zambia Ghana in Eq Guinea
GHANA -2 TOGO -1 A goal by PRINCE SEGBEFIA 48TH minutes..
GAME ON !!
What a useless coach we have in one Janza…perfect examople of a clueless man..
Janza is rubbish….team selection …0….tactics….0….reading the game….0….
Sate Sate useless…missed a sitter….midfield needs Chris
Ghana 3 – Togo 1
Like I have always said, get a young hungry talented coach frm Barcelona FC, schooled in the Barcelona way and you will see results!
The way we are playing; we have a lot of work to do, both to the team and technical bench. Why do some of our players seemingly easily go down and do not play to the whistle? Cape Verde are good.
Ghana -3 Togo -1 AGYEMANG BADU 68th minutes GOAL
GAME ON!+
3!
Cheating Ghana needs to win!
an offside goal….Sate Sate has been useless….best player…Lubambo Musonda has been man of the match by far. ..yet useless Janza will pick Bruce again
end of procedings –GHANA -3 TOGO -1
FT: Ghana 3 – Togo 1
WELDONE –ZAMBIA The CHIPOS retaliated their defeat ..
ZAMBIA -1 CAPE VERDE- 0
Final Result: Zambia 1- 0 Cape Verde. Though we have won, I am not very impressed with the defence, and to some extent midfield. Donashano Malama and Munthali should not be starting the games. Lubambo Musonda should also be starting against Musakanya. Honour Janza should also be able to read the game and come up with tactics. Mayuka missed an opportunity which could have wrapped up the game when he rounded of a CV defender and only needed a tap to score but ballooned the ball over the bar. Anyway we won 1-0, as a win is a win. Good game though.
SATE SATE is not yo friend waumfwa….that was a finesse
SECOND HALF –NIGERIA -0 BAFAAANA BAFAANA -1
GAME ON !! BEGINNING OF SECOND HALF..

Full time. Zambia wins 1-0. Sate Sate Goal

Sate Sate may be ok for club football but the chap has proved time and time again that he cant play at national team level.
Aluko 67th minutes GOAL –Nigeria -1 SOUTH AFRICA -2 Game on!!

Too bad for Nigeria they add some color to the event. Ghana shudnt be there, had Nigeria cheated like Ghana, they would have qualified. Job well done to Bafana Wafana !
And people laughed at Zambia when they were eliminated in the group stages AT the TOURNAMENT as defending champions. Abo Ba Nigeria failing to qualify to defend their title. So, who are fluke champions now?
Zamfoot, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my comment. I just compared Zambia to Nigeria as defending champions.
Congo Brazzaville and DRC are playing some good football and will add some quality to the tournament!
Cameroun, Congo Brazzavile and DR Congo are the 3 teams to watch out from the Central African region. West Africa’s hopes dies with Nigeria.
