  1. This is bad for our players,Its now time to
    convince every player that we have in europe
    with this dual citizenship.if other country are
    mananging wy cant we,Cause this taired legs we
    have in nation team are already taired wy cant
    we see from the clubs they are coming from.

    • Andre Ayew’s development has far exceeded my expectations.There was a time I even thought younger brother Jordan had a brighter future. He used to strike me as a hyperactive but mindless player…I’ve been completely wrong on this one!

      • Eish Kampinda, since when. First time I saw Dede Ayew playing for Ghana, it was obvious that he was extremely talented. His brother Jordan has always struck me as a striker who despite being technically gifted, does not have the same energy or vigor.

        • You are right. It’s just like with other careers…It’s not always the brightest student who end up having the successful professional career. Jordan is lazy.

  2. Chongo’s versatility makes him an important player for the quintuple Africa’s champions. Not always easy to compete for a place at right back with 2 other internationals with vast experience in Africa.

    • Dede fancies scoring against highly fancied,respected,recognized,non-mediocre teams like world champions Germany,Africa’s most developed football infrastructure south Africa,former premiership champions MAN U ,Liverpool,etc in equally highly recognized competitions,to etch up his name in the zenith.As for scoring against your BULLETS,cry no more, we live it for our women underage teams thus our black maidens and princesses.

  3. Mukuka mulenga should come back home otherwise those south african will just finish him he is better than some of those midfielder at his club remember Given singuluma when he was at bay united he was always watching from the bench but when he came back home he became a hit and went on to bang a top scorer award at chan so mukuka mulenga should leave those south african clubs and join power dynamo or zesco united

    • I feel bad for Mukuka but we also need to quit hiding behind this redundant reason of not being given enough chance. As a player they should make the best of any chance they get.

  4. with dual citizenship mbombo tshimenga and maziba to play for zambia it is happening in other countries

    • Given is still getting quite a bit of game time. He does not fall into the same category as Mweene and company.

  5. Yah, we shuld get all the talented zambians in europe as well as th local league. Coz th future of zed football iyofya. As at now, th local league is not producing the great talent. Lack of academies nd team’s failure to hire expatriate youth coaches is one of th many reasons why zambian footballers do not get polished @ a very young age.
