  1. am not impressed by the so called final squad. to me they are going for holiday in Angola and cash in allowances. look here, the problem is that HR doesn’t know how to read games, Sinkala could actually be a better coach. To me, Lwandamina alone would manage. HR go and cash in as this is nothing but a holiday. Once more, two teams to qualify from this group will be dependent on how may goals they score against Zambia. Count my words. HERE GOES CHIPOLOPOLO

  2. Much as I realise that in football, logical analysis does not always pay; in fact thats the name of the game, who knows the guys can just give us a surprise show. hav’ said this, I think pessimism is not a sin, coze the guys have never been consistence even bena katongo,chansa, not to mention mbesuma. we do not have a single player to count on, the fellow to play an indiv. game when for team things dont work out….. pliz save us from last year’s chan 08 memories.

  3. Why do our national team selectors like experimeting at the wrong time.Why leave out sinkala and carry sunzu,the chap was injured in cecafa how much action has he seen since his injury.Felix katongo is also a passenger he has turned into a bench warmer at sundowns no action this season,This chap called chivuta i think is a waste of time he grows cold feet in high profile matches,so why carry him to the african cup.This character called Thomas nyirenda where is he from,these are the kind of chaps who will start applauding etoo as he is scoring against us intead of marking him.We need experience in defence tana could have been an alternative to play his last afcon.Given singuluma did not go to the world club champiship with his club ,has he been training he should have been dropped as well!

  4. We hope this team will ably represent Zambia and get positive unexpected results. Thye should avoid Juju and Chibuku, not forgetting magelo pa Angola……They should be quarantined….

  5. With this HR we will surely be the weeping boys in the group as usual…Its just another holiday outing for them…better I support Zesco or Zanaco as individual teams NOT ba Zambia as a national team..you can die na heart attack, where you expect them to win thats when they loose, where you expect them to loose thats when they win..very unpredictable team..the whole coaching team with their boss at FAZ must just GO….NALEKA..!!

  6. We may have a good team, but if the coach cant make a good combination, we are doomed….Patrick Phiri is better than HR..Look at Man City, they fired their under performing coach and replaced him..the results are there to show what a good coach can do..even Tevez is scoring now..SIMPLE..NALEKA..!!

  7. The Chikolopelo Boys! I curse the day Great Kalu dictated to everyone of us that we should have a primary school PE teacher for our national team coach. HR has done nothing to develop any player’s abilities! He is ever inconsistent with his squad selections and doesnt know how to utilise the abilities of each player! Chap could have turned young Mbola into a winger, Chris Katongo into a defender, Kalaba into a front man, Jacob Mulenga into a midfielder. He should also know how to use players that phase out as the game wears on like Clifford and Kalaba as super subs. He should have gone for experience and professinalism in Sinkala, Tana, and developed confidence in Collins and James by playing them in as many games as possible! We remain DOOMED!

  8. # 2 where do you expect to get players from?.there are no any zambians playing in mojor leagues apart from those we see at Nkoloma, Ichilata, Nakambala grounds etc.you should accept reality .This is all we have.

  9. This team is not good enough.. Pros playing in south africa, Oman, Armenia??? What a f…cking joke!!! Where is Tana, Sinkala or Moses? Kalu you are a shambles!. Just because players like them stand up and tell you what needs to be done, you go and ask your self appointed coach to drop them!!! DISGRACE…

  10. Emmanuel Mbola plays for team known as ………………………., Can some 1 help me tell me were its found , which league that is, and if they is any prominent player we can indentify with from its inception till now, i have never heard of that team b4, so how do we ko such players that we dont even no wheather they play wen there are there, or sit on the bench.
    Plse give us gud players so that we can get gud results.

  11. Francis Kasonde (Al Suwaiq, Oman) What in this world is this terioust team from. is it a team or its a name of a chemical from suid arabia.

  12. Please lets wait and see though we are tired of the so called Frenceman HR, hoping the best or else we will unleash bees on you before you get to drink your Chibbuku

  13. Ala bane bwafya. Kalu and his friends want players who can given them some dollars after the game, players like andrew, moses and Tana speak when something is wrong thats why they are disliked and kalu’s friend called HR is just dictated to. I think Kalu and Co Should go together with the HR.

  14. Empty hopes id.iots who does not learn from history. Cursed people can’t see anything to count on or hold on as a country. What is it that you have to be proud of? Even the little has been taken from you. Blessed with empty politicians who can’t plan anything but just talk to any a leaving. Wonder what has even spared you from dying of cholera. No money to buy bear once country’s renowned brown table characters. One id.iots signs of dozola inuma balloon type not knowing the shape is puffed up deal to ARVs. Supporters of doom just escorting and supporting other countries with quality of life. No wonder you are dying at 47. Can’t even fight a mosquito just depending on FACIDA with side effect of knocking off 15 days of your life.

  15. Stop talking and spending money on football. You are just killing yourselves with BP. unless you wake up from the deep sleep and realise what has happen to Zambian football. All the people you are blaming are innocent. One day you will even get a consultant from abroad to come tell you were things have gone wrong and why you should completely stop spending anything on football. The likes of RP capital and other image builders can help and leave you even naked. Try Nigerian Consultants.

  16. The only good thing is that our nation is one of the participants in Angola but we shouldnt expect much from that squad. otherwise, the old lads with massive experience are supposed to be motivated from grassroots on order to return them back to the national team for the benefit of of the country. not having unnecessary differences. As soccer fans, lets just treat this one as a tournament and watch the games to the end. Man utd for life!

  17. Guys, so far this is the best we can do. Firstly we are not a rich country hence cant afford a proper coach. We dont have a national stadium or even good training facilities and infrastructure in the country. Dont expect something from nothing. The day we have these facilities, we will have a good coach, good team and players playing in the Premiere or Laliga. Other than that, all we can do is hope. Words are powerful. So say things you would want to see in the Team
    All The Best Ba Zambia. Win or Lose, we have your back

  18. Ok the same old bunch who cost us the world cup spot…thats not a suprise…this marriage HR has omitted for with these players is damn crazy .where does he normally see them perform if i may ask??? In the training pit !…the chap has serious blind loyalty issues.catch the first plane to france in angola coz expect no goals from that lot …

  19. well ! i guess we have no choice now that the team is set but u boyz go out there and play to win . don’t spend ur time during the match telling your team mates things like ” mona amatanta ba Samuel Eto’o .”you might as well join HR’s flight to france..how i feel sorry 4 mweene’s efforts to save the game for nothing upfront …

  20. All i hev to say is this.. it is my tax that is sending them to Angola… money i could definately us eto grade my road( or is it big footpath), by an extra chair for my boy to sit on at school etc,etc… please 16 meter for kwempe qualifications is a lot. Please guys do a miracle because that is all that is left. And yes for once it is really the coaches fault!

  21. Its a fair team wish you the best lads.Warning to you FAZ executive stop meddling in the team sellections allow the coach to pick his best team

  22. As much as we may say that HR is not good, but I think that players are natured from there clubs, but our players play in lower club, we need our to future in best clubs in Europe
