HOME-BASED PLAYERS FOR ZAMBIA-CONGO-BRZ GHANA 2008 AFRICA CUP GROUP 11 QUALIFIER.
Patrick Phiri yesterday unveiled his list of Zambia national team local-based players for Ghana 2008 Africa Cup Group 11 qualifier against Congo-Brazzaville to be played at Konkola stadium in Chililabombwe on June 2.
Phiri has yet to name his contingent of foreign-based players expected to be invited for the Congo game.
GOALKEEPERS: George Kolala (Zanaco), Charles Chileshe (Nchanga Rangers).
DEFENDERS: Hichani Himoonde (Lusaka Dynamos), Joseph Musonda, Kennedy Nkthani (Both Zanaco), Mark Sinyangwe (Nkana FC).
MIDFIELDERS: Rainford Kalaba (Zesco United), Noel Mwandila (Green Buffaloes).
FORWARDS: Morgan Hanjema (Green Buffaloes), Ignatius Lwipa (Zanaco) Dube Phiri (Red Arrows), Enoch Sakala, Jonah Sakuwaha ( Both Zesco United).
What I do not understand and I will be short is that players like Joesph Musonda, Kennedy Nkthani, Kalaba, Mwandila, Lwipa and Sakuwaha who have flopped trials out Zambia should be considered as National Team “matirio” as to say it. I think we have a big problem here. Anyway all fits to Mr. yes Man, the Coach of today. It pains to some of us when we think of the old days, won’t make a list of Zambias GOLDEN BOYS or rather MEN. I HAVE JUST TO SAY I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH ZAMBIAN SOCCER for it is really CRAP at the momment. however potential is there but we can not ride on potential only cause potential
Not I think but Politicians are rubbish, **** them
JK
On comment 1 You are in Denmark and you do not watch Zambaian soccer, but i think on the list of players we need i can still include Kalaba, Lwipa and Sakuwaha, even Nketani is not bad (are you Zambaian?because these are the only palyers who are Zanbian and desrve your support unless otherwise) as they are still young with potential for improvement
Justice is right. The coach is not up to the task even if he tries his best. The governmentis only interested in soccer weeksbefore the finals start. Then the ruling party thinks it can ride on the popularity of soccer. The thing is to support the clubs. As long as Nkana, Nchanga, Mighty Roan are struggling there will be no footbal in Zambia. These are brandsin zambianfootballso youhave toawake them!
