It looks like an easy assignment for the boys.lameck banda started and completed the match. Obviously he gave good account of himself. They open the cheque book and the two talented midfielders
This is very good news. I wish I could be at the match against Red Bull. There could be 5 Zambians on the pitch at once! All of these youngsters are part of the future Chipolopolo Boys. Go Zambia!
My thoughts exactly. Five of our boys at the same time…now that would be glorious to watch.
Good lucky to the youngsters. Am sure other teams participarting in friendlies are watching the boys. Lameck will get it directly. all he need is to learn fast.
