Congratulations Lusaka Times for giving soccer results updates in a timely manner. I shudder to think that Times of Zambia, The Daily Mail even The Post cannot update their Sports pages on a daily basis. We live in a computer age and I don’t see why it is so difficult for Zambians living abroad to get up to date news. Sometimes these papers carry a news item for 60days. What on earth is wrong with our people. Are we ever going to get anything right. Look at the National Team’s preps. If they fail to qualify, some stupid Minister, FAZ official etc will call for Patrick Phiri to resign. This is really some bullshit. When are we ever going to do anything right?
Thanks to Times of Lusaka for giving us weekend fixture resuls.
