West African teams always leave me with a bitter taste in my mouth. They always dampen my morale, come Sunday its either a draw or we lose. Mark my words.
Negativity always. Can’t you go to the stadium to give them morale booster so that they win?
Man I used to be positive about these chaps, they dont need my support. Thrice beaten four times shy.
We ate tired of poor results. Can these boys please eliminate Nigeria.
John, that remains to be seen, but don’t count on it.
Very little hope for Zambian football. We have been doing badly of late and hence the need to change the football administrators. We need fresh minds to jack up the game
WE ARE WINNING.
BOLA PANSHI JOHN
I don’t know but I just have a feeling that the Nigerians will win. In as much as I want Zambia to win, something else tells me that Zambia will be eliminated. But I hope for better I hope for better.
That ‘something else’ that tells you Zambia will be eliminated its called – Common sense.
we have a very good U23 team.Nigeria wont stand de pressure in our new home ground.Zambia 2 Nigeria 0 mark my words
Lets not just be experts in talking and negativity, lets all go to the stadium on Sunday and support our team. Most of you here are just good when it comes to supporting on the internet, we should also be going to the stadium. For me come this Sunday all roads lead to heroes stadium, my blood is Red, Black, Green and orange. Chipolopolo for life.
If you are in Zambia and is able to go the stadium. Don’t think all of us are in Zambia. Zamfoot website can be accessed anywhere in the world. Why should you think that everyone who comments here is based in Zambia. Shallow mind.
@ Mumbi: judge Joe Biden is being objective – your inability to face reality is a downside you inherited from your mum. The Eaglets will roast your boys alive. There is no argument about that. West Afticans are the torchbearers of African football. You are nowhere near us . How many South African countries have ever been to the World Cup? Lucky u have South Africa who qualified by default. Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Ivory Coast, Senegal (just to mention a few) have all been there(all from the West). ZAMBIA, LESOTHO, MALAWI, ZIMBABWE, NAMIBIA (just to mention s few) have never been there and indeed, may never be there. You just don’t sit in your backyard & bluff. COME TO THE WORLD STAGE, if you can. IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CHIPOLOPOLOS

If Zambia loses, this will be a nail in the head for great Kalu and his failures to lead, improve the game and employee competent coaches. I can’t wait for Kalu to just go focus on CAF, FIFA and supersport duties.
You’ve spoken sense.
We will skin Kalu alive and sell his skin to the Red Indians. We are tired of mediocre in our football.
Come sunday we are roasting some village chickens, its Zambia all the way. Sunday all roads lead to Heroes .
Navuvuzela sana ku W13 side like the last game against Rwanda.

Please Naija, beat these talkatives for me.
We will do it, Piso. Make u no worry. We will silence Mumbi, his ignorance & open his wounds for the vultures. His unanalytical mind will further be exposed.
So whoever supports Zambia is shallow minded/ignorant? Before the first leg in Nigeria, intelligent people where saying Zambia will lose by 4-0. What a foolish prediction it was!!!
Lets wait 2moro is not too far and there is no rule which categorically says Zambia must lose. Thats y they will play 90′.
Unlike their noisy neighbors,Nigeria play football with class and usually don’t rely on ghost penalties to win matches.So for those lucky fans going to the Heroes National Stadium a cracker of a match awaits you.
Let’s support our local boys to the maximum.
Scared already. You are doomed to lose to the junior Eagles We will swallow the chimpanzees
Please no insults. How can you then play with “chimpanzees”? Are you human then?
@Don;
Whether you like Germany or not is immaterial . They are just good. Your shallow opinion is immaterial & irrelevant. Your opinion on. The “noisy” neighbours are like Germany. They are good and the world knows. Sitting in a village near Kabwe does not change a dime fact, the noisy neighbours are ranked higher than Nigeria &I much much much higher than the Chipolopolos . That is why they are noisy, FIFA knows & if Don does not know, EVEN CAF does not care about Dons opinion. Ask Kalu. He knows the noisy neighbours arc Giants even on the world stage. Ask Germany, the current world champions & they will attest to that. Try to qualify to the World Cup & u will see the pedigree of Ghana. Clueless Don.
Already making plans for some hot rice,potatoes and chicken in sizzling hot soup.Zambia 2 Nig 0.
YOU PREDICTED RIGHT IN REVERSE. Do u walk with your head? Bravo.
@ Ghana paradox …. Noisy like England.
@ Don;
Unanalytical like Mumbi
Nigerians will come out bruised in this game, mark my words.
You are right. The Nigerians are bruised.
Of Late,nigeria Is Not A Threat Equally Useless Ghana.Football Nowadays Is Tactical Approach Wins.Zambia Went With A Good Tactical Game And Came Up With A Draw.Wil Nigeria Employ The Win Formula?Zambia Wil 2 Nil Even Nigerians Knows.
Just Qualify for a SINGLE WORLD CUP
@ Tembo 1:
Has ZAMBIA ever been a threat anywhere ? Nigeria, amongst others, is a giant in world football & not only AFRICA . Where is the place of Zambia ? COSAFA specialists.
Mozambique has sent a certain team to seek boosters from Kwenku Bonsam.
Loooooooooooooooool
Congo will send a certain nation packing. Kabwe warriors could do better than the China-based CHIPOLOPOLOS who could not win a single game at 2015 Afcon.
lol..these zambians are,,pause…village champions and friend of failures..what do you think of a nation which have u17,u20,men national team,female national team all eliminated..if ghana is useless then zambia is the best definition for failure..the word for you is not yet in existence
