gudluck guys
The asumption that Zambia is a powerhouse is old old old news. We are starting from scratch, everything is earned the hard way.
Good lucky chipolopolo
Meanwhile Ivory coast has a list published of coaches vying for the national team job and one wonders why football in Zambia is going down.

Yesterday in the company of two friends I met a National Team player. After exchanging a greeting the lad vehemently attacked Kalusha’s interference in the selection of players threatening to hang his boots. He accused Kalu of preferring players he intends to sale. I jokingly cautioned him not to be seen with the likes of me in public as he would lose his place in the team. He remarked he would rather that happened and begged me to work hard to kick out Kalu. “The Chickens have come to roost”.

I agree with u copala let keep it football guys I may not like wt kalu is doing 2 our football bt cant go about insult him call him name such corrupt if u hv evidence why not report him 2 the ant corruption
I think zambia may carry the day 2moro
Am a sinner as much as Kalu hence people let us just advise wisely and I know we will all not agree on every issue but that does not mean to start degrading each other.If we do that it is as much wrong as what we are suspecting Kalu of doing issues like marketing players which belong to teams associated with the likes of Lee Kamwanu,Kazala also giving money to his friends to supply female jerseys meant for male players.
C’mon guys we can do better than this, what are we going to achieve by insulting each other?
This is the level which we have reduced our selves to,now even not so sure if we carry day against stupid useless footballing countries like Namibia,what a shame to all of us.
Kalu order teams which use Woodlands Stadium to not use it when the match is going to be televised,it is a very shameful for the all of Africa to be seeing that crap.
