Get well soon FS10
At least a good number of foreign based players were able to play which is actually a plus for our national team.
just checking. We lack charisma to be at the AFCON, Kamanga reign?? No Zambia at AFCON sure.
I am very happy to see so many of our boys plying their professional football careers abroad. If you look at the names, most of them are those who were in the 2017 U-17 AFCON squad. Beston Chambeshi and his bench did a commendable job. Hats off to you guys! Now, you boys if you do read ZAMFOOT listen to the good advice th
at we people back home give you. Work hard and never indulge in illicit activities that destroy young promising athletes. Personally I would like see you redeem this nation by taking us to the World Cup. And win us the AFCON so that the cup stays in this country for at least 2 years. The 2012 victory looks like a fluke. We want to erase that notion.
