Zambia has been booted out of the 2015 Cosafa Cup after losing 5 – 4 to Namibia on penalties after the two teams played to a goalless draw in 90 minutes.
Emmanuel Mbola missed a penalty during the penalty shoot out as defending champions Zambia bowed out of the tournament at the quarter final stage.
Captain Kennedy Mweene, Kondwani Mtonga, Jimmy Ndhlovu and Aaron Katebe all converted their spot kicks.
The loss adds to Zambia’s woes at national team level in the 2015 Calendar year
UPDATE: Hosts South Africa have been bundled out of the Cosafa tournament at the same stage after losing to Botswana on penalties.
Zambia XI: 16.Kennedy Mweene – 2.Donashano Malama, 18. Emmanuel Mbola, 13.Aaron Katebe, 4.Christopher Munthali, 14.Kondwani Mtonga, 21.Jackson Mwanza (Allan Mukuka), 15.Justin Zulu (Paul Katema), 10.Bonwell Mwape (Patson Daka), 20.Jimmy Njobvu, 17.Mukuka Mulenga.
Very embarrassing
if this is how we are going into the afcon qualifiers we are in trouble. right now we have no direction on who a proper coach should be. someone enlighten me. does janza even hav a contract.
No experience and no contract…just because Kalu knew that he ‘ate’ all the money and went cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t even know what to say. If we can fail to beat Namibia, then I don’t know which team we can beat. Guinea Bissau is gonna tore Zambia apart. I don’t even know what Congo and Kenya will do to Zambia. I think it’s about time we started featuring the U-23 and U-20 players for national duties. Malama, Mwanza, Kondwani, Justin Zulu, Munthali etc are not national team players. We better find a combination of U-23 and U-20 players and return a few from the senior team. I am sorry to say that Janza also has failed. He needs to go.
retain..
Firstly, why is Rodgers kola not called to team. Zambia has no strikers with kola’s pedigree at the moment. Secondly, we must humble ourselves and apologise to fwayo he must be called back to this team which is light. Lastly, useless players like Jackson mwanza must never wear the national team jersey.
Jackson Mwanza is much better than Honor Janza.
first substitute the worst in team…
I am called names and insulted for calling a spade a spade. FAZ criminal and dictator KALUSHA BWALYA is a big cancer for our football. The sooner he and the USELESS Honour Janza are out of our football, the better for all of us!
Janza should GO! the guy can’t read the game.my quetion is what do they do in camp? Bola Chipante Pante our football is finished no skills. At all. We need a good coach ba FAZ, Afcon we where kicked in the first round. I can tell you FAZ Zambia will never go to Afcon and World cup if we keep the useless Janza.Nambia has never beaten Zambia. Why do we like experimenting?
PATHETIC HONOR JANZA is one of the WORST coaches we have ever had in 50 years! The soon people people realise that and get it into their think heads the better. He is inept and has to go together with the DISGRACED FAZ CRIMINAL AND DICTATOR KALUSHA BWALYA!
KALUSHA BWALYA AND HONOR JANZA have taken our football to the DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough is enough. They have to GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is becoming embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can not be losing to minnows like NAMIBIA. We are too big a footballing nation!
BILLY, i have to agree with you Malama, Mwanza, Kondwani, Justin Zulu are NOT national material. Mwanza is such a to disgrace to Zambian football. He should NEVER play for the national team again!
I can’t put my blame on players. Can somebody tell me what is Janza telling and practicing on the field of play. Bola Chipante Pante. Where is Zambian football? Does Janza motivate players to be the like of Chris Katongo with the fighting spirit
To be honest, Janza has failed, We somebody who can read the game.
To be honest, Janza has failed, We need somebody who can read the game.
This fool called janza must surely leave our National Team.His a very dull coach who can’t read the game,select capable players or even giving instructions.Ukulusa kuli ba Namibia kweena!!!!it’s disturbing nd embarrassing
Janza is to blame.He has failed to motivate the boys.We have Zero progress.For instance,Jimmy is a seasoned scorer for his club,Power Dynamos,why then when his at national team,he doesn’t?A good builder can mould a beatiful house using average tools,The sooner we realise our owen has failed us,the better!
Let’s come together and press FAZ to fire useless Janza. What does he tell players. Our defense and midfielders where sleeping Bornwell Mwape was ok the player who was killing him was Jackson Mwanza. Why Let Janza Go!!!!! .Mukuka Mulenga was pressing and working hard.
@zamfoot,could you give us an insight on individual player performance.Maybe some rating of some kind
Ati we have learnt a lot. Always learning a lot and not applying his knowledge. This is nonsense
When we are complaining on this block the people who we have entrusted in running our football affairs answer us in the papers that we know nothing about football,now the people who are” football scientists”select surely players in the caliber of Jackson,now pathetic Justine,useless undropping Malama and Janza just as much as he is very qualified,he is not a good motivator,he is sooo pathetic in that field that even Comoro Islands can not hire him as their coach.
Incredible! Namibia sure???
Janza is the WORST chipolopolo coach ever and boy the man has excuses he’s now saying its a learning curve instead of saying I have resigned what wrong with JANZA?
FAZ have said they want him out what they need is financial help from goverment to replace Janza
What a failure of a coach we are subjected to..this failure should leave our national team coz now even teams like jibouti can beat Zambia..
Peter Makembo will be lyk ”Janza Deserves a contract”.
From my analysis, Jackson Mwanza, Malama, Jimmy, Mbola and Mwape were pathetic. Katebe was better than the experienced Mbola. Allan Mukuka, mukenga Mukuka were brilliant so were Kondwani Mtonga I liked his defty touches. Justin zulu struggled don’t know why.
About the learning curve, it will soon curve in and soon, sincentge drawing boarx is full. I thought Janza learnt from the first round exist at Afcon!
Justine Zulu is useless baba and so is Mtonga. This is not the Mtonga I know.
Any Footbal Record 4 Janza? B4 Janza Became A Coach I Said That In Zambia We’ve No Qualified Coaches Earlier I Said If We Can Lose To Namibia Then We Are Going No Where Can You Jst Bring Back The 2012,2015 Afcon Winning Coach Renard Or Any Expatriate Coach Twanaka
Little Zebras bundle Bafanabafana out of the Cosafa cup 7-6 on penalties.
2 big boys of cosafa kiss goodbye to cosafa! I see Namibia winning. Madagascar is also playing sexy football.
I should thank myself for watching up to the end zam ia losing 4-3 to Namibia on penalties without developing any high bp!
Why Giving Mbola To Shoot A Spot Kick Has Mbola Ever Scored A Penalt Yes He Is A Good Defender Thats Why Namibia Failed To Pernetrate Our Defence Line Bt Mbola Cant Score A Penaly In Zambia Only Tana & Sunzu Have Scored Penalties Ths Shows The Incompetence Of Our Coach To Place Players In Suitable Positions
I SAID IT BEFORE AND WILL SAY IT AGIAN..I SAID IN MY LAST LINES THAT NAMIBIA HAVE IMPROVED THEIR FOOTBALL..THEY BEAT ZIMBABWE..THE ONLY SUBJECT ON THIS EPISODE OF NAMIBIA AND ZAMBIA IS NOT THE PLAYERS……
ITS THE ADMINISTRATION OF FAZ..ZAMBIA NEEDS CHANGES IN ADMINISTRATION..
THE CHIPS NEEDS CHANGES IN ADMINISTRATION..GOOD LUCK TO THE CHIPOS.
Zambia out,SA out,the format being used at cosafa is not good at all.It is very difficult play with a team which has alrady played some games n gained momentum.
O.k guys you saying Namibia won because of momentum,unacceptable to big footballing Nations like us ,just the coach used useless players like Jackson,Justine ,Malama,Mbola and the luck of disire from a few players.
lol…is Zambia a big football nation? ah…come again
Congrats to Namibia. As a zambian it pains me to say that we got what we deserved. Days when football matches were won because of the country’s name or past glories are long gone.
Janza look for strikers, Jackson Mwanza, Justin Zulu and Donashano Malama should never be called to the national team. its better we call Rodger Kola we see how he can fit in.
Secondly, we need a great tactician at national team level such as Lwandamina.
May God have mercy on this useless team under a useless coach. Under Renard we used to lose some matches but we played beautiful football. under Bonnetti we used to beat teams like Namibia but under Janza ? ugly football with ugly results. what a shame to mother Zambia !!!!
Well said from what i heard. Those players from old people’s should be dropped . Kondwani , Jackson and zulu. They nolonger have pace. Malana should not even come into the coach’s mind he is useless . This defeat confirmed the dismissal of janza .
To all cadres of Kalu read this link and look closely at the jersey Zambia put on:
http://zambiareports.com/2015/05/25/a-fonk-kong-jersey-for-a-fonk-kong-result/
I think those who defend the ills of Kalu must be careful otherwise they are also benefiting from his kickbacks. Can anyone authenticate this jersey?
http://zambiareports.com/2015/05/25/a-fonk-kong-jersey-for-a-fonk-kong-result/
Kalusha Bwalya is an internationally certified crook, govt should confiscate his passport whilst he under investigation, only then will you see Bwalya step down cause he knows what a mess Zambia is in given that it’s littered with govt officials and politicians who think like him!
Shuwa, Zambia was chasing shadows for the better part of the game. It’s really pathetic.
Bola kale yapwa mu Zambia if its not draw then its a loss. We need 2 take this as an official warnin of wht 2 expect during qualifiers. Ba janza has failed in both ends. Atleast Kalu gave him a chance, we r not yet ready 4 a local coach full stop.
evn kalu knws that Janza has faild to manage th national Team nowanda he arranges friendly matches with teams like malawi n Rwanda. if Janza still continues as zambia coach, we ar in for an embarrassment in th Afcon qualifiers. #Jack Chileshe, Roger Kola n Fwayo tembo, ar needed in th national team. Fwayo is now playing in almost evry game, Kola was th top scorer fo his club in israel n Jack chileshe is playing fantastic football in angola.
Yes team selection suspect so was the jersey it looked not to be an authenticated one, Kalu awe sure.It looked like they were using a girls jersey especially patson’s top.
I am keenly waiting to hear some good news out of this. When is it coming?
