Where is Charles Musonda Junior??
That young under 20 boy from Wigan has shown true patriotism (so far)….and when Zambia is at a world cup…i can bet its players like him who will join our local brew of young players in that team.
I rest my case
Charles musonda is being mislead by his arrogant father. No need to worry . We now have enough young talent. Mwiya, daka, mwepu ,e banda, sakala, e chilufiya, chiluya, lameck banda , mwande .francisco mwepu and kenneth kalunga..

Regarding Ba Kalampa’s question about Charley Musonda not being named to the Belgian squad, I noticed in the last few weeks that he was not playing much or even at all for Celtic in Scotland. Is he injured?
On separate notes, it was wonderful to see Chiluya score a game-winner for his Bethlehem side against Indianapolis. If he keeps playing well he might get called up to the Philadelphia Union, which would be great for him. I would be happy because I could see him play against the Colorado Rapids.
Finally, I think Zamfoot might have missed a chance to praise Lubambo Musonda for his great play last week in the Armenian cup final, only mentioning his last league match. My prediction is that young Musonda will be moving to a stronger league, such as France or Russia. Fingers crossed!
Thanks Andy for sharing more soccer news.
congrats to the lads
