On tomorrow’s game, the coach stated that his team will be going for a win but will have to be cautious.

I can hardly wait…Go Zambia go!!
All the best to the boys as we take on Portugal. Being the first game we should try to avoid a loss at all costs, a draw won’t be bad but a win will be a bonus. Another thing the players should play as a team. I was really disappointed with our other African representative Guinea, their players were in a hurry to market their individual skill rather than team play. I hope this doesn’t come into play when our boys play. It should be the team first and individual glory second. Once again all the best to the dream team
all the best young lads,Go Chipolopolo Go,tulewina!!!
