God bless you brother man
Why has your form dwindled in Norway, you are not the Edward we knew at under 20, and this time around left out of the national team.
Bravo Edward Chilufya. You have done what the so called socer icons have failed to do.
Well done Edward. Ebwaume! Who knows, from this tournament we may unearth another chipolopolo icon.
