I would be better to call those who puts effort to score for clubs to come and assist us interms of goals.we need goals in this match .Nigerians are not to be underleted they are power so may the boys do their best to earn 3points at home.our group is clausal it contains champions may you proof that we are still champion despite the challenges we have had.wishing you the chipolopolo Zambia.
Good to see that there are still supporters who see hope of qualification and not the usual doom and gloom some fans bring to the site.
It will be vitally important to collect maximum points in all our home games because truth be told it will be close to miraculous to collect maximum points from our opponents in their back yards. These are teams with world cup pedigree and have far more technically gifted coaches. So our home games are our trump cards.
This is an opportunity to show the world that Zambia can shoot regardless of big names of Nigerian stars. Our Coach please do your best work on defense there seem to be a problem in our Zambian national team on this part.
We re behind u go zambia go
All promising young players overseas shud b capped by Zambia. So that they r blocked from being stollen from us in future by other countries. in the recent past Kalu and Lwandamina prefered bootlickers only. These chaps treated ‘selection’ like personal to holder and picked players who were personally friendly to them; leading to shame in Guinea! Someone shud interview the ‘Tummy’ coach why he left Chisamba on the bench in that game! Lwandamina shoud b queried. The nation needs an explanation.
