Half Time
That tackle from Zacharia Chilongoshi was a Red card offence. He is a lucky guy.
A very poor display by Zambia in the first half without a shot on goal despite enjoying lots of possession in the half.
Micho has to make changes at half time is Zambia has to salvage a result in this game.
Please am asking updates zambia vs botswana
Agreed Zamfoot. Is the Coach willing to take a risk and make changes at Half time. Zimbabwe in the earlier game against Algeria made 4 changes and they dominated the 2nd Half.
Micho go where you came we don’t you how can change the team
Just saw the Highlights. Our 2 Central defenders were at sixes and sevens for that Goal by Botswana.
We need to be tight at the back and lets try to be creative. F.Sankala needs to go on the wing and we bring a striker. I wish M.Musonda was in the team with PD20 injured.
Lets Gooo Zambia….
@Iceben Zambia. Easy.
very useless coach. ati he plays conservative football with a pivot fyoto fyoto.

Botswana 1 – 0 Zambia (Mosha Gaolalwe 8′)
Full Time
Ba Zambia you even fail to score a single goal!!!?????? How useless
Not starting with Justin shonga and Augustine Mulenga was a very big mistake by the coach.
The Zambia National Team Coach is a fool.How can he leave experienced players and select nonentities. Wastage of tax payers monies.Let the coach go back to where he came from.
Kwapwa! Zambia’s glory years are gone.Zambia is now just an ordinary African team.At this rate,Zambia might even miss the next nations cup.No players of note,Mwepu is overrated no striker to rise to the occasion without Pats on.Zambia makes my heart bleed and gives me high blood pressure.
Zambia taikwete bola elo ngamiteyele yaifi Zambia yakula onaulafye ndalama baka player balipwa
still have a chance to qualify
Finished chipolopolo!you are now even losing to Botswana sure… since 2012 you’re doing nothing,i think you don’t even deserve to be paid for your useless games
We can still do it go zambia go gooooooooooooo!
Nothing but paining. Botswana & Zimbabwe started beating, shame!!
Nothing but paining, shame. Botswana & Zimbabwe started beating you. Unhappy person. Are you really Zambia National Team?. Iam doubting.
This is terrible. Zambia why???
8th minute strike was enough to bury us, so much for the love. Had it been a club, I’d have switched onto a different one.
It’s quite disheartening how zambia has has dropped so low to teams like bostwana, namibia and zimbabwe… honestly how can we be struggling to beat these teams??what has gone wrong kanshi??..micho has assembled a team which for me is not ready to qualify to Africa cup of nations and world cup respectively…the team is only ready to participate in CHAN….
We still needed some old players likes of kalaba,sink ala, sunzu,mweene and chisamba lungu. We missed it mulenga and shonga should have started to tire up the tswana and bring sakala in the second half to the tired defenders.
To spice the national team players must be picked from all corners of Zambia. Besides, these boys panick as they play because of over promising them of receiving huge sums of money for an away win or draw. Conceding a goal 8 minutes before the final whistle tells the whole story.
There’s no way we can win the games whereby all experienced players are left out and picking on small boys who can not even play with experienced players. Leaving mbesuma, mweene, sunzu, kalaba, chama,kabaso, and sinkala was a very big mistake. The coach his advisers are the one’s to blame.insoni ebuntu.

Nice nice result,the most successful FAZ President ever,Mr Andrew Kamanga enroute to not only qualifying Zambia three on the trot but also winning the afcon three consecutive times ..Weldone Andrew,Mr Integrity with success.
Zambia is doing very very well under Mr Andrew Kamanga and his hard working executive.He will go and represent the country next year in the CAF Exco meeting just before the tournament which the rest of the country will watch on TV…….Boss Kamanga it’s nice to ve u at Football House,Long Live Andrew Kamanga.
A painful loss a disappointing situation that Zambia might not qualify for afcon for the third time in a row, but still maybe let’s seriously rebuild the team
But zoona imwee
Why do we always experiment?our coach is not capable of making a good team.what did Kabaso Chongo do in Kenya which lead to his dismissal?Why do we leave good experienced players?Look at our freinds,for example,ba Ghana,Algerial,Nigerial and some other countries,they maintain good old players who are able to make their countries proud.
