  1. @FootBall. I have the same question. No place for Chisamba Lungu?? Chisa and Sunzu are Zambia’s best players currently. No doubts about that.

    Lwadamina baffles me sometimes/

  2. chisamba should have replaced katema if we don’t risk the attacking formation we risk being doomed. Nathan is enough in mid

  3. the line is fine. chisamba lungu lubambo musonda and Evans KANGWA are super sub. to change the tempo of the game when they come in. otherwise all is well.

  4. What differences are there between Chicken George and Chisamba Lungu I think this is the second time he has been left out of the starting lineup we need creativity in the middle of the pack if we re to win matches like these.

  5. Early signs tell me this is a Guinea win/draw, I believe Zambia should poach Uganda coach muletin , he is a very underated coach in my books.

  6. This coach is suspect. How can he leave out Mayuka and singuluma and call luchanga and kangwa. He should be relieved of his duties after this game.

  7. 25′ GB 1 – 1 Zambia
    Brilliant turn by the skipper Kalaba who sends a defence splitting pass to Mbesuma. The striker showed excellent skill to nutmeg his marker and put the ball past the keeper

  8. 29′ GB 1 – 1 Zambia
    Mbesuma is foled on the edge but the Algerian plays on. Questionable.
    …..
    A minute before the goal, Zambia survived a scare thanks to a brilliant finger tip save from Mweene after the defense was exposed

  9. 34′ GB 1 – 1 Zambia
    Third consecutive corner and Mweene collects.
    Zambia not defending the set pieces well

  10. 44′ GB 2 – 1 Zambia
    Ref not gving anything to Zambia
    Mbesuma involved in a fracas after an off the ball incident

  11. 57′ Guinea Bissau 2 – 2 Zambia
    Assist from Mbesu$a. Simple head by chris.
    Salulani came in for Katema at half time

  12. 61′ Guinea Bissau 2 – 2 Zambia
    Sunzu concedes a foul right on the edge but the wall does well to keep it out

  13. Total bullshit you remove kalaba and put light weight evans Kangwa this coach has to go. The guy is greedy busy making money at zesco running from zesco to zambia. Let’s make a change

  14. useless defense I have seen in recent Zambian team. How the hell do you let the ball bounce in the area? Pathetic.

  15. I have not watched the match, but next time the coach should call Manuka in place of Kalengo. With the right combination of players, Zambia could have easily won this match. Questions to be fired at the coach include: why did he leave out Chris Munthali, why did he select Mkandawire and why didn’t he play Chisamba Lungu? Equally why did he substitute the best players Kalaba and Katongo ?

  16. Useless mid losing the ball like when ball should have put in GB box, they where fooling around and whats you get for being a bunch of idiots. What an embarrassment these idiots are.

  17. Stupid Kamanga better fire this coach now. This Chicken should not even be Zambia coach tomorrow morning, I want to wake up tomorrow with a Zamfoot title say Chicken fired upon arrival from GB. I wish we had terrorists there in Zambia just to assassinate this clueless idiot.

    • @Kwame “THE CHIPS LOST TO A WEST AFRICAN COUNTRY AGAIN” Come on, You are better than that, why does it matter what region of a country we lose from? Zambia should not be losing to teams like GB period and you know that. We have a clueless coach, that’s all. We are worthless no matter what and we don’t deserve to qualify even as a second best.

  18. Another death another funneral . The nation has been turned into a mortually..tomolo morning the zambians will in tears of sorrow.. I dots this what you have vote.. Yu will never built a manision with rotten materials

  19. 7 Boyd Mkandawire ,4 Adrian Chama have always threatened to be a liability every game, the coach’s substitutions doomed Zambia’s chances, the game changed in favor of Guinea as a result of those poor substitutions. Katongo should have stayed on. Mbesume would have been the player to substitute at 70th minute but………………

  20. Kalu had gone with his football minds.. Yu will regreat .. Since the departure of kulu iz yet to record a win.. History has been made..

  21. I have never understood why this coach insists on playing Boyd. Most attacks in the game came from his wing. His subs were horrible. Kalaba was good then he removes him. He needs to go this man.

  22. Guinea is a narco state,with strong ties to Colombian drug barons, so you have to expect all sorts from the match officials and even sometimes your own players!

    • We couldn’t get out of the group stages during the last Afcon. Since When have we been indispensable at Afcon? Kalumba, no one will notice if Zambia is not at Afcon. Countries like Ivory Coast, Egypt, Algeria, Ghana, Nigeria can boast of their absence, not Zambia.

    • Who cares about Zambia? Who recognizes Zambia? Do you live on the moon? Even Togo is better known than us. We are nowhere near the big shots of West & Northetn Africa
