This man was right when he said Zambia has to stop thinking their the best team in Africa and we all took it to offence, What the man was saying is don’t let the fluke 2012 afcon get to our head because teams like Nigeria Egypt Ghana Ivory Coast Cameroon have won it countless of times and don’t brag, when you brag it physcologically put you in a state of arrogance hence why we have been getting chopped ever since 2012, to me 2012 was out downfall, we needed a coach to tell us to be humble, I guess because we haven’t won it before made us feel invinsible so we did not respect any team we faced up to now we think we are the best because of 2012 but the truth is most teams we face don’t even remember us being champions so they don’t fear, teams that people remember to be dangourouse and fear are the ones who consitienly win Nigeria Egypt Cameroon Ghana Ivory Coast. If our players were reminded after 2012 to be humble and respect the teams mentioned instead of thinking were better because you beat the once doesn’t mean you will beat them all the time when they have more experience and better head to head than you, in reality it means most the teams had an off day when we won. So lets be humble, erase the 2012 afcon from our stubborn mind because we are acting like a villager in the big city that has not seen buildings before and going back to his village to explain how buildings work, he thinks he is now king of village because he has been to the city once, this is how were viewed amongst other African nations regarding football, my Nigerian and Ghanaian friends here in Australia always tease me when I try to compete with them as to who the better soccer team is, their come back to me is when did Zambia start playing soccer and call us the fluke nation, its all in good fun and humor though every good joke contains truth
